Lo’ Ruchamah | No Mercy
Called Out by Name…
Had Yisra’el listened to God, they would have recognized that their religion was not only precluding them from receiving the blessings Yahowah intended for them but was also responsible for the litany of antagonizing consequences derived from continually antagonizing Him. The past 3,000 years should have been so very different. There would have been no Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek, Roman, or Muslim invasions, no Diaspora, no Holocaust, no Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or Communism. Had Yisra’el listened to Yahowah, there would have been no Talmud, no New Testament, no Zohar, no Quran, and no Das Kapital. Oh, what a wonderful world it would have been. Rather than Israel being the most demonized and denounced nation on Earth, it would be the most universally praised.
But alas, the prophet’s whore would conceive again, begetting generations of unfaithful children…
“She conceived (wa harah) again (‘owd), and she gave birth to (wa yalad) a daughter (bath).
So He said to him (wa ‘amar la huw’), ‘Call her name (qara’ shem hy’ – announce and proclaim that her reputation shall be known as) “Lo’ Ruchamah | No Mercy, No Favors, and No Compassion for being Unlovable (Lo’ Ruchamah – No Affection, No Forgiveness, and No Benefits: from lo’ serving as a negation of racham – love and compassion, mercy and 119pity, favor and forgiveness),” because (ky – indeed, affirming and strengthening this statement) it will be a long time (‘owd – well beyond the point which would have been expected, particularly regarding being allowed to convey the eternal testimony and to serve as witnesses) before I once again (lo’ yasaph – I return to the relationship and provide any additional) perceive as lovable, show mercy toward, or beneficially favor (racham – I am compassionate, loving, or affectionate (piel imperfect – the object consistently and continually receives the benefit of being loved or pity)) the House of Yisra’el (‘eth beyth Yisra’el – the Home and Household of those who Contend with and Strive against God), such that I will lift them up, honor, or forgive them (ky nasa’ nasa’ la hem – that I will incur or carry their burdens away, I will respect or support them, or consider raising them up so as to spare them (qal infinitive imperfect)).’” (Howsha’ / He Saves / Hosea 1:6)
Yahowah is announcing to the Northern Kingdom (Yisra’el apart from Yahuwdah, thus ten of the twelve tribes) that they are no longer lovable. Therefore, until their attitude toward Him changes, they will receive neither compassion nor mercy. Furthermore, they would remain unapproachable for a very long time – much longer than they would have expected. For the next 140 generations, there would be no favors and no forgiveness from God toward Yisra’el.
Yisra’elites would not only be on their own, they were put out of business. God would cease speaking through them. There would be no support, no respect, and no way to rise above the hellish conditions that they were creating for themselves.
However, since Yahowah had promised to bless people from every race and place by way of the Covenant He established with ‘Abraham, He would continue to love 120Yahuwdah for the sake of His Beloved, Dowd, and the remnant of His people…
“‘Yet (wa) with (‘eth) the house and family (beyth) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah and Related to Yah), I will continue to love them, favoring them and providing forgiveness and mercy through them (racham hem – I will retain an affectionate association with them, manifesting kindness and compassion through them).
I will liberate, deliver, and save them (yasha’ hem – I will keep them safe and free them (hifil perfect)) as (ba) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – our ‘elowah | God as directed in His ToWRaH | teaching regarding His HaYaH | existence and our ShaLoWM | restoration), their God (‘elohym hem).
However, I will not liberate, deliver, or save them (wa lo’ yasha’ hem – but I will not free or protect them) by bow, shooting projectiles, or being harsh (ba qeshet – by being stubborn, difficult, or burdensome; from qashah – hard to deal with), by a sword or any kind of weapon (wa ba chereb), by fighting a war (wa ba milchamah – by fighting; from lechem – by battling), by horsemen and swiftly flying aircraft (wa ba suws), or by mobile military vehicles (wa ba parash – war chariots and those riding within them).’” (Howsha’ / He Liberates, Delivers, and Saves / Hosea 1:7)
Yahowah was promising to forgive and favor Yisra’el through Yahuwdah. And the most important individual to emerge from the House of Yahuwdah – Dowd – would play the starring roles. He had been and would be again. Since Dowd is presented as the Son of God and is also referred to “‘elyown | as God,” he would certainly qualify as the means to Yisra’el’s salvation – most especially in the role of the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb.
This is yet another renunciation of Judaism as well as its derivatives, Christianity and Islam, because the God whose name they do not recognize is the source of our 121salvation. It is something we have been emphasizing since the beginning: when it comes to knowing God and developing a relationship with Him, acknowledging His name and His Son is essential.
Since it is by fulfilling the Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with God that we become immortal, perfected, adopted, enriched, and empowered, Yahowah is not liberating us from the deadly nature of religion through the deployment of armaments or by fighting battles. And while there will be copious amounts of weapons deployed in horrible wars as we migrate through the last days, no one will be saved by such malfeasance. We humans will be killing one another at a prodigious rate, but that is hardly the path to Heaven.
“When she had weaned (wa gamal – while she reared) Lo’ Ruchamah | No Mercy, No Favors, and No Compassion as a result of being Unlovable (‘eth Lo’ Ruchamah – No Affection, No Forgiveness, and No Benefits: from lo’ – no racham – love, compassion, mercy, pity, favor, or forgiveness), she conceived (wa harah – became pregnant) and bore a son (wa yalad ben). (Howsha’ 1:8)
Then He said (wa ‘amar), ‘Announce that his name is (qara’ shem huw’ – call him), “Lo’ ‘Am ‘Any | Not My People (Lo’ ‘Am ‘Any – Not My Family),” because (ky – indeed) you are not part of My family (‘atem lo’ ‘am ‘any – you are not related to Me) and I am not your God (wa ‘anoky lo’ hayah la ‘atem).’” (Howsha’ / He Delivers / Hosea 1:9)
Are you listening, Yisra’el? You have become so annoying with your perverted religion that Yahowah has disowned you! You have been disinherited. You have digressed from being Unlovable to being Orphaned. And it isn’t because God has died but, instead, you did. You 122received an engraved invitation to the Covenant, and you desecrated it and threw it away.
The Children of Yisra’el, the Chosen People, have become destitute. Worst of all, you worship a god who is not Yahowah, leaving you with no God at all. Introduced to the One true God, you have joined the ranks of those who irritate and annoy Him.
Yisra’el, apart from Yahuwdah, was entering history’s longest intermission. And while God could no longer endure them, He would assure that they would endure long enough to eventually be saved.
“‘Yet the number of the children of Yisra’el shall be (wa hayah misphar beny Yisra’el – the census of those who Contend with God will be) as the sand of the sea (ka chowl ha yam), because it cannot be counted (‘asher lo’ madad – which cannot be measured), numbered, or recorded (wa lo’ saphar – cannot be told).
And it shall come to pass that in the place where (wa hayah ba maqowm ‘asher) it was said of them (‘amar la hem), “You are not My family (lo’ ‘am ‘any ‘atem),” it shall be said to them (‘amar la hem), “You are the children of the living God (ben ‘el chay).” (Howsha’ 1:10)
Then the descendants of Yahuwdah (wa beny Yahuwdah – the children of the Beloved) and the children of Yisra’el (wa beny Yisra’el – the children who have engaged and will endure with God) will be gathered together and be as one (qabats yachdaw – will be collected, assembled, unified, and in accord).
They will appoint for themselves (sym la hem – they will assign and put in place) the best one as the leader (ro’sh ‘echad – the most excellent one as it was in the beginning, first and foremost).
123And then (wa) they will ascend upward to a higher place (‘alah – they will rise and be carried away (qal perfect)) out of the Land (min ha ‘erets – from the Earth), because great, intensely important, and empowering shall be (ky gadowl – enabling growth and increasing; from gadal – to grow, be magnified, and empowered) Yowm Yzra’‘el | the Day God’s Seeds are Sown in Jezreel.’” (Howsha’ / He Saves / Hosea 1:11)
It was a rapid downward progression. Yisra’el had fallen from being unlovable and undeserving to being disinherited. They were no longer Covenant. Having rejected Yahowah, God rejected them.
In the matter of quantity over quality, they were long on one and deprived of the other. Clearly, God was not running a popularity contest.
While their downgraded status would plague them for centuries, even millennia, the relationship was slated for resolution. Kipurym in year 6000 Yah was a distant light on the horizon. Some of the descendants of those who had been ostracized for having become obnoxious, were restored to fellowship, becoming children of the living God.
The rift that had torn them apart will be mended. Yisra’el and Yahuwdah will be together again. Having been dispersed throughout the nations, they will be collected and gathered in one accord – something that seems unfathomable considering the propensity of Jews to disagree with each other and their God.
One of the many areas of agreement will be on their leader, their shepherd and messiah. They will choose the best one – Yahowah’s Beloved, Dowd.
There is only one way to ascend upward out of the Land, and that is to be given access to Shamaym | Heaven. Since this requires the transformation from a three-124dimensional, physical being, to a seven-dimensional spiritual being, the subsequent enrichment, empowerment, and liberty exceed our comprehension. What had been deprived will now be restored. There will be a new day, a different and better outcome, in Yzra’‘el.
With so much having occurred in and around the Jezreel Valley, God is returning our attention to Yisra’el’s thoroughfare, her breadbasket, and her battlefield. Something exceedingly good and very important will transpire to counteract the often-hellish history of this place.
Beyond the stories we addressed in the previous chapter, there is another worthy of our consideration. Yes, Gideon was triumphant in Jezreel, Sha’uwl was defeated and committed suicide, and Dowd was victorious. But that is not the story Yahowah is addressing here. Yowm Yzra’‘el | the Day God will Reap what He has Sown in Jezreel is directing our attention to the Towrahless One, along with the millions who will invade Israel in the Last Days. It will be the mother of all battles. As is so often the case with the Almighty, and fitting, Yahowah will prevail over religious, political, militant, and conspiratorial gowym in the place Yisra’el acted most like them.
Yowm Yzra’‘el | the Day the Seeds Sown by God come to fruition in Jezreel is illustrative of one of the last battles Yahowah and Yahuwdym will fight for the survival of Yisra’el. It draws upon an intriguing history. Sha’uwl would commit suicide in the valley after his army was annihilated by the Philistines. He chose his fate as surely and he chose to consult with the Witch of Endor. By contrast, Dowd would fight 66 battles, and win them all, even ridding the Land of the Philistine problem in this place, because he always relied on Yahowah.
Fast forward 3,000 years, and we find Yahowah engaged again to protect the remnant of His people. As is 125foretold in Yasha’yah, Yirma’yah, and Dany’el countless millions of Muslims under the Islamic Federation will flood into Israel with the intent of annihilating Jews while claiming the land for Allah.
Yahowah does not quantify the number of enraged Muslims who will flood into His home, but the metaphors He deploys throughout the prophets suggest that we should expect in the range of 100 million. As for Jezreel accommodating that many, the math is rather interesting. The Valley is approximately 100 square miles. Whether marching or in an encampment, each armed and provisioned combatant requires around 3 square yards of space. With 3 million square yards per square mile, up to 100 million Muslims will receive what they intended to inflict in the shadow of Megiddo.
While we have broached this battle periodically throughout the prophets, the final determination of its timing, the identity and quantity of the combatants, and whether it is one war or two spreading from Jezreel to Jerusalem will be determined in due time. We still have a lot on our plate to survey and digest.
In the order of things, this, the 8th volume of Yada Yahowah, is one of only three remaining to be retranslated and rewritten to complete our second to last edit of the Series. Once finished and properly positioned in their places on the bookshelf at YadaYah.com, we will turn our attention to the events pertaining to Yowm Yzra’‘el. It will be a massive undertaking because it will include a comprehensive and integrated analysis of Dany’el / Daniel 9 through 12, Zakaryah / Zechariah 12 through 14, and Yow’el / Joel chapter 3. We will find ourselves investigating the fate of Babylon and Yisra’el, beginning with Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17 and 18 then 47 through 66. We will pursue this same storyline in Yirma’yah / Jeremiah, beginning in chapters 49 through 51. This will be a year’s work, filling three volumes, before the war is finally over.
126The Haredi pine for a warrior messiah to protect and exonerate those undeserving of either. But otherwise, the rabbis do not seem to care anymore about these prophecies than anything else Yahowah has conveyed. In their defense, that is what one would expect since their future with God is more dire than their past.
Considering Yahowah’s portrayal of them, we should not be surprised that Jews promote conflicting opinions. However, with Chabad serving as the voice of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, the most influential iteration of the Jewish religion within Israel, their presentation of “The Battle of Gog and Magog” is particularly relevant. And it affirms that the rabbis are clueless. “The prophet Ezekiel (chapters 38-39) describes a climactic battle that will be instigated by Gog and/or Magog, and will be waged against Israel and G‑d. The defeat of Gog and Magog will precipitate the Messianic Redemption. It is difficult to dwell on this topic because it is so shrouded in mystery. We are uncertain as to the identity of Gog and Magog, whether Gog and Magog are the names of nations or individuals, whether this battle will be a physical or spiritual battle, and even whether it has already occurred or not.
According to tradition [the Talmud], the central personality in this war is Moshiach ben Yosef—Moshiach of the tribe of Joseph. Jewish tradition speaks of two redeemers, each one called Moshiach. Both are involved in ushering in the Messianic Era. They are Moshiach ben David and Moshiach ben Yosef.
Moshiach ben Yosef will be killed in the war against Gog and Magog. Again, it is unclear whether the death will be in physical battle, or as a result of the spiritual battles which he will wage against the forces of evil. Either way, the prophet Zechariah (12:10) describes the national mourning that will follow his death.
127Apparently, though, the death of Moshiach ben Yosef is not inevitable. The master-kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria, known as the Arizal, said that when saying in the Amidah the words, "speedily establish the throne of Your servant David," one should beseech G‑d that Moshiach ben Yosef should not die in the course of his struggles.
According to certain sources [rabbis rather than Yahowah], Moshiach ben Yosef will serve as Moshiach ben David's viceroy. Thus finally bringing to an end the schism between the northern Ten Tribes, which were ruled by Joseph's descendants, and the Kingdom of Judea, which was ruled by the Davidic dynasty.
Some say that Elijah will arrive before the war of Gog and Magog, while others say that he will arrive three days prior to the revelation of Moshiach.”
One would have thought that, over the course of the past 2,000 years, at least one rabbi would have done what we have done and continue to do. Why not study Yahowah’s revelations word by word, comparing what He says on this topic to everything else He has conveyed on the same subject? We may not answer every question, but we will not be left wondering when ‘ElYah is going to return nor will we promote the nonsense of tradition and speculate on the apprenticeship of “Moshiach ben Yosef” serving a “ben [son of] David.” If it were not for the fact that the souls of many millions of Jews have been poisoned by this vomit, we could simply write this off as the blind leading the visually impaired.
I will acknowledge one thing the rabbis got right. They have correctly ascertained that [Yahowah] is not intervening on behalf of Yisra’elites, or because Jews deserve it but, instead, to redeem His good name, recognizing that it has been tarnished by its association with Yisra’el.
128Similarly, Roman Catholics and other Orthodox denominations of Twistianity don’t much like what Yahowah says of them, their fate, or His plans for Yisra’el. And they are less interested in the “Old Testament” than the Jews whom they claim to have replaced. Then, of course, there is the problem of Daniel revealing that the Roman Catholic Church is the worst and final iteration of Babylon.
Undaunted, Protestants and Evangelicals have sought to interpret mistranslated statements from the “Old Testament” through the lens of Revelation – a trend popularized by Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth. Unfortunately, the process used is similar to those who promote conspiracies. They misappropriate and errantly interpret a tiny fraction of what’s been provided while ignoring the rest of the evidence because it does not fit with their preconceived opinions and is caustic to their religious beliefs.
There is a considerable hullabaloo regarding Gog in the Islamic scriptures. This is because Muhammad bought Talmud readings from the rabbis in Yathrib to make his Quran appear credible – and the rabbis had written of Gog. Considering himself a messianic figure, and loving war, he was drawn to their commentary on Ezekiel. His presentations of their accounts are among the most laughable in the Quran and Hadith – and that’s saying something.
These myths revealed, let’s stay focused on Yahowah’s declaration through Howsha’, knowing that we will return to Yzra’‘el in due time.
129Opening the 2nd chapter, we find that the descendants of Ya’aqob had bonded, but it was with one another rather than God…
“‘Say to your brothers (‘amar la ‘ach ‘atem), “My people (‘am ‘any – my family),” and to your sisters (wa la ‘achowth ‘atem), “She could have loved and been kind (racham).” (Howsha’ 2:1)
Rebuke, quarreling and contending with (ryb ba – issue a complaint against and debate in opposition to), your mother (‘em ‘atem). Prosecute, filing a complaint (ryb), for she is not My woman (ky hy’ lo’ ‘ishah – indeed, she is not My wife), neither am I her man (wa lo’ ‘iysh hy’ – nor am I her husband).
Let her, therefore, turn away from (wa suwr – she should change direction and reject) her illicit and illegitimate relationships, her idolatry and whoring (zenunym hy’ – her prostitution, adultery, and religious worship) – such that they are away from (min – out of) her presence (paneh hy’), with her unfaithfulness (na’aphuwphym hy’ – her adultery and religiosity), from the way she perceives her breasts (min bayn shad hy’ – from between her bosom where children are nurtured). (Howsha’ 2:2)
Otherwise (pen), I will strip her naked, exposing her (phashat hy’ ‘arowm). I will present her (wa yatsag hy’) as the day she was born (ka yowm yalad hy’), causing her to be akin to a lifeless and barren place of questionable words (wa sym hy’ ka ha midbar). I will make her (wa shyth hy’) similar to parched earth (ka ‘erets tsyah), such that she dies of thirst (wa muwth hy’ ba ha tsama’).’” (Howsha’ / He Liberates / Hosea 2:3)
This indictment is universal. The men have been condemned as prostitutes and now the women are being called whores. Yisra’elites have been disinherited and 130divorced. And the cause of her infidelity, the affair which has robbed Jews of Yahowah’s mercy, is their religion.
Yisra’el has become an infertile womb, a nation of miscarriages, of aborted souls precluded from reaching their potential. Their affliction had become so pervasive even a mother’s nurturing milk was now toxic. Rather than nurturing her children upon her bosom, her breasts are nothing more than bait used to trap her next lover.
Religion is insidious, especially Judaism, because it infects every aspect of people’s lives – from what they say to what they do, from what they consume to what they believe, influencing their education, disposition, and professions.
As is the case with such things, they must be exposed and condemned for the people to heal. God is doing both, as are we.
Religion is fatal. Bad enough, long enough, God will eventually tire and give up, disinheriting and divorcing even His own people.
According to Yahowah, a child’s fate can be linked to their parent’s beliefs and allegiances. If a mother is a religious whore, chances are her children will be similarly unfaithful, immoral, and idolatrous. A Haredi mother will beget Ultra-Orthodox children, just as a Muslim mother will breed jihadists. This is the reason Yahowah didn’t remove the children before the flood cleansed Mesopotamia, protect them from the brimstone that incinerated Sodom, or take them out of the Lord-Ba’al-worshiping Canaanite towns the Yisra’elites conquered. Yahowah knew that these children would grow up to be just like their parents. Rats breed vermin, not meerkats.
The fourth verse of Howsha’s second chapter opens with a verdict some may find troubling:
131“‘And so, with regard to (wa ‘eth) her children (beny hy’), I will be neither loving nor compassionate, neither merciful nor kind (lo’ racham), because (ky) they are the children (beny) of their religious infidelity, their feigned love, and of seeking to profit by being disingenuous (zanuwnym hem – of them seeking to be enriched through the pretense of affection, of their idolatry and immorality). (Howsha’ 2:4)
It should be obvious that (ky) their mother (‘em hem) is unfaithful and acts like a religious prostitute (zanah – is a harlot and a whore, soliciting the things a man can provide under false pretenses, being disingenuous, immoral, and idolatrous in exchange for money, engaging in a charade rather than love).
She who conceived them (harah hem) should be ashamed and humiliated (bowsh – acted inappropriately and should be exceedingly disappointed).
This is because she conveyed her intent, saying to herself (ky ‘amar), “I have chosen to continually go after (halak ‘achar – I want to conduct my life such that I consistently chase right to the end (qal imperfect cohortative)) what I desire from my closest and most intimate, familial relationships (‘ahab ‘any – my lovers) which provide (nathan – which give and offer) my bread (lechem ‘any), my water (wa maym ‘any), my wool (wa tsemer ‘any), my linen (wa phesheth ‘any), my olive oil (wa shemen ‘any), and my drink (wa shiquwy ‘any).”’” (Howsha’ / He Delivers / Hosea 2:5)
God is communicating in first person to the people He not only created but also chose to enrich, liberate, educate, and empower. This is His assessment after having experienced their lack of gratitude and having suffered through their obnoxious religion. Yahowah had endured 60 generations after Ya’aqob, each unlovable, and He would 132witness 140 more before the problem would be sufficiently resolved to reconcile His relationship with them.
God’s diagnosis is that His people had contracted an acute and fatal case of zanah. Their religious infidelity was killing them. Masking the symptoms by being disingenuous was not fooling anyone, especially God. It was obvious.
Life for Jews had become a charade, as they even feigned their devotion to God. Imagine all of that work, all of the pretending, the many prayers and rituals – and it was all for naught.
Judaism is so inappropriate, so disingenuous, the people should have been ashamed of what they had done to antagonize Yahowah. Then to make matters even worse, God is saying that Jewish women do not even love their husbands. Even in marriage, they are prostitutes, trading the pretense of affection for food and shelter, with their wombs becoming a commodity to barter. Jewish women are not only unlovable, they are unloving.
The list of things Yahowah articulates is significant. Bread and water are necessary to keep us alive – temporarily sustaining our mortal bodies. Wool and linen are woven into clothing and provide a covering to hide our imperfections. That is why God told these women their infidelity would be exposed. Olive oil and drink are spiritual references in that oil represents Yahowah’s Spirit and pure light, while drinking wine is symbolic of celebrating Chag Matsah.
We have said it and, now, so has God. The religious are not welcome in Heaven. Salvation is not part of the discussion in Judaism because there is no means of salvation for the religious…
“‘Likewise, in response (la ken), behold (hineh – pay attention), I will guard to restrain and block, hedging up 133(‘any suwk – I will fence in, erecting a preventive barrier to shut) that which is associated with your path (‘eth derek ‘atah – pattern of life) with thorns (ba ha syrah – thorn bushes which are painful to encounter).
I will erect a stone wall to block her progress (wa gader ‘eth gader hy’ – I will make a barrier to hem her in) so that her way of life (wa nathybah hy’) will be incapable of discovering it (lo’ matsa – she will not uncover it, encounter it, or attain it). (Howsha’ 2:6)
So, she will pursue and annoy (wa radaph – she will chase after, hound, and follow, even be chased and harassed by) her most intimate lovers and passionate desires (‘eth ‘ahab hy’ – her sexual relationships, romances, and emotional cravings), but she will not achieve what she is chasing after (wa lo’ nasag ‘eth hem – she will not reach her goal).
She shall seek them and will conspire with them (wa baqash hem – she will desire them and will try to procure them), but she will not prevail (wa lo’ matsa – she will never uncover the truth about them or find what she seeks).
Then she will say (wa ‘amar), “I will go and reverse course, returning to (halak wa shuwb ‘el – I will travel so that I can restore the relationship with) my initial husband and former man (‘iysh ‘any ha ri’shown – my original individual) because it was better, more productive and beneficial (ky towb – more prosperous and pleasing) for me then than now (la ‘any ‘az min ‘atah).” (Howsha’ 2:7)
But she did not know (wa hy’ lo’ yada’ – she did not perceive or acknowledge, contemplate or assimilate, the information required to understand, or even care) that I gave to her, providing for her (ky ‘anoky nathan la hy’ – I bestowed and placed before her so she could approach) the grain (ha dagan – the barley to multiply and increase), new wine (wa ha thyrowsh – to be an heir), and olive oil (wa ha yitshar – fresh anointing oil), in addition to having 134greatly increased her silver (wa keseph rabah la hy’) and gold (wa zahab), which they assigned to (‘asah – they used to perform for and create) Ba’al | the Lord (la ha Ba’al – for the one who seeks to own, possess, and control).’” (Howsha’ / He Protects / Hosea 2:8)
This is the kind of statement the religious find inconceivable. Rather than God showing them the way and welcoming them with open arms, Yahowah is preventing the religious from getting anywhere near Heaven. The way He has provided is off-limits to them.
God has no interest in saving everyone. Quite the opposite, He is deliberately preventing the vast majority – those who are religious – from walking along the path He has provided to eternal life. He isn’t being unfair or unkind but, instead, just and merciful. His is the only moral and rational choice.
And let’s be clear: God isn’t just making the way difficult to find, He is deliberately blocking it, erecting a preventive barrier to shut the religious out of Heaven. He has accomplished this in such a way that the faithful will find it painful to approach. His blockade is not temporary either but built of stone. And it is hidden in the one place Yahowah can be assured the religious will never find it – in the midst of His rebuke of them.
God offered His people the Covenant and all of the benefits associated with it. They rejected His offer. He introduced Himself to them, saved them, and enlightened them, but they repeatedly withdrew, preferring the company of false gods and being religious. Yahowah wasn’t going to force them to be part of His Family, so He let them go and blocked the path back home – lest they corrupt it like everything else He had offered them.
Prior to Yada Yahowah, I am unaware of any Jewish man or woman who had come to accept Yahowah or chose to participate in His Covenant Family. Today, that number 135is small but growing. And it will continue to increase between now and Kipurym in year 6000 Yah, when the last decision will have been made.
Left to their own devices, Jewish women will do as they have always done – seek the support of men who do not love them any more than they deserve to be loved. They are not alone in this regard – it is the blight of most every religious marriage. Of such women, Yahowah writes: “She will pursue her desires and annoy her lovers, chasing after and harassing them.” But it will never be satisfying, and she will never prevail, knowing in the end that it was all for naught.
For generations of Jews, there is no going back. The gifts Yahowah has offered have been squandered. For thousands of years, Jews have given their Lord the gifts God had given to them – including their place in His plans, their liberty, and their lives.
It isn’t that Gentiles are any better. In fact, Jews inherited their affinity for Ba’al | the Lord from them. He remains the god of Christianity and Islam.
To suggest that Yahowah despises Judaism and the rabbis who have laid its foundations is the ultimate understatement. Let it be known, those who have consumed its toxicity and shared it will be among the first to die upon Yahowah’s return – crushed to death by the worthless edifice of their words. The whitewashing and smearing over of the Towrah and Prophets with the Talmud and Zohar is a crime, one that will cost religious Jews their soul.
So much for the rabbinical notion that Ezekiel is “shrouded in mystery.” The only conundrum found in these words is how rabbis have managed to fool Jews into believing that they are esteemed by the God who actually despises them. And should someone reading this protest that the rabbis don’t claim to be prophets, perhaps this 136excerpt from an article published by Arutz Sheva today as I was editing this chapter will help. It was written by Rabbi David Samson and published on the 26th of June 2022 under the title: “The Land of Prophecy – if we had a Geiger counter to measure the Divine Presence in Israel, it would crackle loudly, while outside Israel it would hardly be heard.”
“When the celestial Maggid [an itinerant Jewish preacher whose discourse on a biblical text is usually embellished by parables drawn from the rabbinical commentaries and from Jewish folklore and is often delivered in a chant] appeared to Rabbi Yosef Karo on Shavuot night, he instructed Rabbi Karo and his study partners to make Aliyah [from ‘al – over and above and Yah] so that their Divine conversation could continue. The Vilna Gaon explained that the reason the author of the “Shulchan Aruch” was able to have a Maggid was because he lived in Eretz Yisrael (Introduction of Rav Chaim Velozener to the commentary of the Gaon on “Safra Di Tzniuta”).
While the Maggid first appeared while the Beit Yosef (Rabbi Karo) still lived in Turkey, one of the reasons for its appearance was to command Rabbi Karo and his colleagues to ascend to the Holy Land, where the reception of Divine Enlightenment is pure.
The classic treatise on Jewish Faith, “HaKuzari,” written by Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi, calls the Holy Land - the Land of Prophecy. He states: “Whosoever prophesied did so either in the Holy Land or concerning it,” (See Ch. 2:14; 4:10; 4:17).
For example, the Prophecy which Avraham Avinu received in Chutz L’Aretz (the Diaspora), -“Lech lecha!” - was to command him to go to Israel. Similarly, the Prophecy which Moshe Rabbenu [rabbis are now claiming that Moseh was a rabbi, too] received in Egypt and in the 137Sinai Wilderness was to take the Children of Israel out of bondage and to bring them to the Promised Land, as the Torah recounts when Hashem [from ha – the and shem – name] first appeared to him at the “Burning Bush,” as it says, “I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of Mitzrayim and to bring them up out of that land to a Land good and large, to a Land flowing with milk and honey… (Shemot, 3:8).
In the healthy, normative state of the Jewish People, when they live in their unique Holy Land, phenomenon like Ruach HaKodesh (Divine Inspiration) and Prophecy are the natural norm. [Methinks Yah may disagree.] Our Sages inform us that in the time of King Saul there were two hundred prophets, called “zophim.” The Gemara states: “There were, as we have learned, (throughout history) a great many prophets in Israel, double the amount of people who left Egypt,” (Megillah 14a. Shmuel 1:1). [Not so much.]
While Ruach HaKodesh can appear anywhere in the world, the home of Prophecy is in Eretz Yisrael. Our Sages stated: “The Divine Presence is not revealed abroad.” [Inaccurate according to Yahowah’s actual prophets. After all, Moseh never set foot in Yisra’el and he was the greatest of the prophets.] Therefore, when the prophet Yonah wanted to cease prophesying, he fled from the Land of Israel, as it says: “But Yonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish… he went abroad and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord ” (Yonah, 1:3, 1:10; Also, “Michilta d’Rebbe Yishmael,” Bo. And see, Moed Katan 25A).
In his writings on the Land of Israel, Rabbi Kook teaches: “It is impossible for a Jew to be devoted and faithful to his contemplations, logical reason, conceptualizations and imaginations when he is outside the Land of Israel, compared to their quality of faithfulness in Eretz Yisrael. Revelations of holiness, on whatever level, 138are clean in Eretz Yisrael according to their level, while outside the Land of Israel, they are mixed with abundant dross and impure husks,” (“Orot,” Eretz Yisrael, 1:4). [Oops, this lie undermines the Babylonian Talmud which was written in, guess where, Babylon, as well as the foundation of Hasidic Ultra-Orthodox Judaism which was conceived within Ukraine. While on the subject, the Zohar was written in Spain.]
Similarly, the Arizal’s foremost student, Rabbi Chaim Vital, writes: “And should (the seeker of Ruach HaKodesh) be outside of the Land of Israel, even if he is an absolute Tzaddik [tsadaq means right even though these clowns have been entirely wrong] without any impediments of sin, behold the barriers of the defilement of Chutz L’Aretz (the Diaspora), combined with his personal sin of living outside of the Land of Israel, will prevent true and holy Divine Perception from reaching him” (“Shaarei Kedushah,” Part 4 Gate 3, Pg. 163, Gross Edition).
This axiom was reiterated by Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, commonly known as the Vilna Gaon, in an amazing story related by his greatest student, Rabbi Chaim of Volozion: “I was once personally involved (with the magnitude of the Gaon’s Divine Revelation) when our Rabbi (referring to the Gaon of Vilna) sent me to my brother, the holy and pious giant of Torah, our teacher, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman, of blessed memory. [Can you imagine these Jewish religious deceivers saying anything this magnanimous about Yahowah?] Although younger than me in age, my brother is greater than I am in every way. The Gaon of Vilna commanded me to tell him in his name not to give audience to any angel or heavenly messenger that would shortly appear to him. The Gaon explained that even though the Beit Yosef (Rabbi Yosef Karo) had a “Maggid” appear to him, this was two-hundred years ago when the generations were purer and he lived in Israel. Especially here (in Vilna) outside of the Land of Israel it is impossible 139that an entire Divine Revelation will be purely holy without any mixture of foreign, unholy husks” (Introduction to “Safra D’Tzniutah”). [This is a perplexing restriction they are placing on the Almighty God who created the entire universe, which is a smidgeon larger than the finite borders of Israel.]
Because the channel of imagination [credit where credit is due] is the faculty of the mind that is used to receive Divine Revelation, if it is not functioning properly, or if a person is located in a place where spiritual static abounds, then the messages received will be tainted by dross. In Israel our imaginations are pure and healthy. In contrast, outside of the Land the channel of imagination is sullied with the mixture of impure forces which roam freely throughout the polluted spiritual realms of the nations.
In another essay in “Orot,” Rabbi Kook sharpens the distinction between the spiritual worlds of Eretz Yisrael and the lands of the nations. He writes: “The imagination in the Land of Israel is lucid and clear, clean and pure, and ready for the revelation of Divine Truth, and for the embodiment of the high, uplifted will of the idealistic trend which is found in the higher echelons of holiness. It is prepared for the explanation of Prophecy and its lights, for the enlightenment of Ruach HaKodesh and its illumination.
"In contrast, the faculty of imagination which is found in the land of the nations is murky, clouded in darkness, in shadows of defilement and pollution. It cannot rise to the heights of Kedushah (holiness), and it cannot form the foundation for the influx of Divine Light that rises above all of the baseness of the worlds and their oppressive straits.
“Because the intellect and the imagination are bound up together, and act and interact one upon the other, the intellect which is outside the Land of Israel is also incapable of being illuminated with the light which exists 140in the Land of Israel. ‘The air of Eretz Yisrael causes wisdom’" (“Orot,” 1:5). [It’s little wonder that the rabbis quote themselves to promote their delusions and avoid Yahowah’s testimony to the contrary. But, nonetheless, should we be looking for plastering over and whitewashing, we have found the mother lode.]
This means that if we had a Geiger counter that could measure the Divine Presence, in the Land of Israel the meter would crackle like crazy, while outside of the Land the crackle would hardly be heard and the dial would point toward the lower end of the scale.
Does this mean that if you don’t live in Israel you can’t connect with Hashem? Not at all. Even though the Vilna Gaon bemoans the impure level of Ruach HaKodesh outside of Israel, levels of Ruach HaKodesh can appear there.
What then is the secret? How were the Vilna Gaon and other Tzaddikim able to attain high levels of Ruach HaKodesh in the spiritually polluted environment of Chutz L’Aretz (the Diaspora)? The answer lies in wanting to live in Israel. The Vilna Gaon genuinely yearned to ascend to the Land of Israel. He pleaded with tears for his students to make Aliyah and begin to resettle the Promised Land in order to advance the Redemption of Israel. He himself left his possessions behind and set off for the Holy Land without his wife and children until he was mysteriously prevented (see the Letter of the Gra to His Wife upon His Departure for Israel).”
Should you be interested in talking to a stone wall, and should you want to rebuke Rabbi David Samson for his claims that rabbis are prophets, he is “Rosh Yeshiva of YTA, the Yerushalayim Torah Academy, and the founding dean of the King Solomon Academy online school. He is the author of four popular books on the teachings of Rabbi Kook, and the recent books Contact about Prophecy and 141Divine Inspiration, and an English translation of Rabbi Kook’s Rosh Milin on the Hebrew letters, all available at Amazon Books. He also teaches classes in Jewish Meditation.” And his future address will be next to his fellow rabbis in She’owl.
I find it reassuring when the religious admit to doing precisely what Yahowah has condemned. It is as if God could see into the future and is holding them accountable based on their own testimony. Not only have they admitted to receiving prophecies that Yahowah did not inspire, but by plastering over God’s message with their own, they are also guilty of whitewashing the evidence Yahowah has provided.
This is the bane of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, in that all three religions claim that the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms were inspired by God but then plaster over His words with their own in the Talmud, New Testament, and Quran. In so doing, they conceal the truth as it was originally written, and then bring their lies to the forefront, writing their religious myths right over the top of Yahowah’s testimony.
In most early religions, the name and title ha Ba’al | the Lord addressed their sun god. Ba’al | the Lord was worshiped as a fertility deity whose rites of death and resurrection were celebrated seasonally by the Canaanites and Phoenicians in ceremonies that included human sacrifice and temple prostitution.
The most popular graven image associated with Ba’al | the Lord was a bull, a “golden calf,” because the sun is in the constellation of Taurus during the spring equinox. When it crosses the equator at noon, it was believed to have impregnated Mother Earth, represented by Ishtar / Astarte / ‘Asherah, the goddess Christians unwittingly venerate on Easter during the first Sun-day of spring.
142The sun is then resurrected nine months later at the winter solstice, Ba’al’s | the Lord’s birthday, the date early Christians chose to designate as Christmas. This was initially the birthday of Tammuz in Mesopotamia and became the birthday of Mithras in Rome; one was Ba’al’s predecessor, the other a derivative.
Sun gods like the Lord Ba’al were all known by the sign of the “cross.” This imagery predates Christianity throughout pagan mythologies. Therefore, when Constantine claimed to have seen the sign of the cross superimposed before the sun, while allegedly hearing, “under this sign conquer,” he was revealing the source of his inspiration. Moreover, of all of the repulsive notions associated with religion, the idea of worshiping a tortured and dead god on a stick has to be among the very worst.
As a sun god, Ba’al | the Lord was represented by circular halo disks. It’s the same halo the Roman Catholic Church has had its artisans place over the heads of their “saints” – turning the “Virgin Mary” and the “Lord Jesus Christ” into Apostles of Ba’al.
The other symbol of the Christian religion, the “Church,” was also derived from Ba’al’s sun identity. The word “church” cannot be found in the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms. There is nothing even close to its meaning or sound. Even in the Christian New Testament, it is instructive to know that the Greek word changed to church, “ekklesia,” means “to call out.” Ekklesia is not a name, and it does not denote an organization or a building. There is no linguistic root meaning of the word, church, in any language. But nonetheless, the word has a history. It was derived from “Circe,” the name of Helios’ daughter, a Germanic sun deity. It is from this word that we get circus and circle.
And lest we forget, “synagogue” is from the Greek word, sunagoge, which is a derivative of sunago. It speaks 143about bringing people together but away from God. Sunago is a compound of sun | to be united and in one accord in the company of others and ago | to be led along, carried away, and removed. So, perhaps, we should hold a contest to determine which is worse: church or synagogue.
Whether it is in one of these places or the other, with the Lord disguised as HaShem or Jesus, let it be known that ha Satan | the Adversary wants to be seen and worshiped as the Lord God. He wants mankind to submit to him. He wants to be worshiped as if he were a god. Therefore, he convolutes and counterfeits the things of God: obedience rather than choice, faith rather than knowing, a Church rather than the Covenant, Gentiles instead of Yisra’elites, Easter for Passover, Halloween for Reconciliations, Christmas for Tabernacles, Sunday for the Shabat, Talmuds, New Testaments, and Qurans for the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr, and all manner of fictitious names instead of Yahowah.
Fortunately, on behalf of the Yisra’elites who are observant, who come to know Yah, and who survive the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, God inspired Howsha’ to write…
“‘Therefore, when (la ken – likewise, it is for certain) I return (shuwb – I will come back to stay and continually restore (qal imperfect)), I will grasp hold of (wa laqach – at that moment I will select, accept, receive, collect, and obtain (qal imperfect)) My grain which will be increasing and growing for having observed his banner at its proper time (dagan ‘any ba ‘eth huw’ – My barley; from dagah – to increase and grow and dagal – by having looked at the banner), along with My new wine as an inheritance (wa thyrowsh ‘any – My recently produced and sweet wine given to the heirs; from yarash – to inherit and possess) as part of his continuing witness to the appointed meetings (ba Mow’ed huw’ – with his ongoing testimony regarding the scheduled assemblies, occurring during specific times 144to gather together and celebrate the agreement; from mow – this pertains to and ‘ed – eternal witness, everlasting testimony, enduring evidence, and restoring message).
Then I will rescue and defend, indeed, save, by delivering (wa natsal – I will spare by providing (hifil perfect)) My wool (tsemer ‘any) and My linen (wa pishet ‘any) to cover and conceal (la kasah – to clothe) her nakedness (‘eth ‘erwah hy’ – her vulnerabilities and imperfections, her unattractiveness and deficiencies).’” (Howsha’ / He Saves / Hosea 2:9)
Since this is written in first person, “when I return” affirms that, just as Yahowah was previously here to lead His people to the Promised Land, it also reveals that He will return to bring His wayward children back home. In this case, the dagan | grain God is selecting, accepting, and receiving unto Himself represents saved souls. These fortunate individuals are dagah | increasing in number and growing in stature at the ‘eth | proper time, which is in advance of Yahowah’s arrival. According to the etymology, they have dagal huw’ | closely examined his banner, one God has raised on their behalf. The fact that you are reading these words deep into Yada Yahowah within eleven years or less of His return, you are likely counted among them.
The thyrowsh | wine of inheritance delivered ba Mow’ed huw’ | as part of his Eternal Witness regarding the Restoring Appointments, when phrased this way, is particularly revealing. From the very beginning, as the first words were translated and considered, we have known and shared that the first four Mow’edym – Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah – provide the benefits of the Covenant – which is our inheritance from Yahowah.
This realization is immensely affirming and profoundly important, as well as unique to these volumes and, thus, to God’s banner. Further, when spoken in 145Yahowah’s voice, huw’ | he directs our attention to someone serving God and His people in this way. Therefore, Yahowah is predicting that someone sharing this rebuke of His people, with God explicitly disinheriting Yisra’el for being overtly religious, would, at the right time, explain that the Mow’edym were conceived to remedy the problem. He would announce prior to Yahowah’s return that an increasing number of Yisra’elites would grow in stature as a result of reading this banner.
To complete God’s picture, He is saying that, upon His return, He natsal | will rescue and defend, spare and save, His people by delivering His wool and linen, which are symbolic of His children’s everyday and special occasion apparel, God’s way of adorning us so that we appear perfect in His sight. Just as He had during the exodus from ‘Eden, He will do upon our return to the Garden, la kasah | to clothe and conceal our ‘erwah imperfections and deficiencies.
In this regard, I have some thoughts worth considering. Yahowah’s first encounter with humankind was in the Garden with ‘Adam and Chawah where He enjoyed a close personal relationship. (Bare’syth / Genesis 3:8) His second series of interactions transpired when He appeared in the form of a man and walked, talked, and ate with ‘Abraham. This is the relationship which gave birth to the Beryth | Covenant. (Bare’syth / Genesis 17 and 18)
Yahowah’s third visit was to confirm the Covenant with Ya’aqob, showing that the often wayward patriarch would be the living embodiment of Yisra’el – Yahowah’s witness to mankind. (Bare’syth / Genesis 32) His fourth appearance was with Moseh and later to all of the Children of Yisra’el during the Yatsa’ | Exodus when He, over the course of forty days, authored and inspired the Towrah. (Shemowth / Exodus 24)
146Yahowah would return to meet with Shamuw’el | Samuel near the Ark of the Covenant in Shiloh. Of this event, we read: “Yahowah came, stood, and spoke to Shamuw’el…appearing so as to be seen, revealing and disclosing Himself as the Word of Yahowah.” (Shamuw’el / 1 Samuel 3)
The sixth encounter with humankind will be special. Yahowah will arrive with Dowd to fulfill the sixth Miqra’ey – Kipurym | Reconciliations before a remnant of Yisra’el. Then gathering the souls of His children into Shamaym, God will celebrate a joyous homecoming and family reunion. Five days later, Yahowah will return to camp out with His people during Sukah, during which time the Earth will be restored to the conditions enjoyed in ‘Eden.
And that is when all of the wonderful things predicted in Howsha’s prophecy will come to fruition. And this time, Yahowah will remain with us, Sukah | Camping Out with the Covenant’s Children during the seventh day, from year 6000 to 7000 Yah. (Zakaryah / Zechariah)
And while this encompasses the greatest offer ever made, all of this is with our knowledge and consent. Should someone not accept Yahowah, reject His words, fail to attend His Mow’ed, or spurn His offer of the kernel of truth which causes us to grow and the wine of inheritance, even the adornment which conceals our imperfections, then those individuals will be judged unfit to be seen in the light. They will either cease to exist or spend eternity in the darkness separated from Yahowah.
This condemnation of Yisra’el is unique in two regards. First, Howsha’ is the only prophet from the Northern Kingdom. So, he is addressing his people. Second, Yahowah’s animosity is more commonly directed at men rather than women. But in this case, God is exposing and condemning Yisra’elite women. Here, He is saying 147that they are both stupid to be religious and lewd in their conduct. It has become so bad, they are so far gone, Yahowah is affirming that the vast preponderance of Yisra’elite women are not salvageable. And in particular, God is denouncing their religious practices, telling all who will listen that a day will come when His Shabat observance will include putting an end to theirs. This is one of many affirmations that there is no correlation between Yahowah’s intent for the Shabat and the convoluted and restrictive way religious Jews observe it. What should be the most liberating and enlightening day of the week has become the most oppressive and ignorant.
“‘However, at this time, right now (wa ‘atah), I am revealing (galah – I am for the foreseeable future causing her to be exposed, uncovering (piel imperfect)) that which is associated with her stupidity and her foolish lewdness and shame (‘eth nabluwth hy’ – her senseless and disgraceful conduct; from nabal – to be ignorant and irrational, despicable and despised) in the sight of her most intimate lovers and passionate desires (la ‘ayn ‘ahab hy’ – in view of those with whom she has formed a close, personal relationship, romantic, sexual, or emotional).
And no individual shall save her (wa ‘iysh lo’ natsal hy’ – such that no person is able to deliver or rescue her) out of My hand (min yad ‘any – from My influence, power, and authority). (Howsha’ 2:10)
Then I will observe the Shabat by causing a cessation of all (wa shabat kol – I will put an end to, stopping and removing every one) of her merry celebrations (masows hy’ – times of gaiety and merriment; from mah – questioning suws – what she exalts and enjoys), her festival feasts (chag hy’), her new moon observances (chodesh hy’), her approach to the Shabat (wa shabat hy’), and all of her designated celebrations (wa kol mow’ed hy’).’” (Howsha’ / He Liberates / Hosea 2:11)
148Shabat is an outlier among Hebrew words. While most nouns are defined by their verbal root, the seventh day is a special case. And that is because the title itself is actionable. Rather than a day to do nothing, or in the case of Judaism, instead of being the most onerous and religious day of the week, Yahowah wants this time set apart to enjoy our relationship.
Therefore, upon Yahowah’s return, He will be shabat-ing by celebrating the seventh day beginning on the Shabat of Sukah, Friday at sunset, October 7th, 2033, having eliminated all traces of Judaism during Kipurym. All of the religion’s extraneous celebrations, including the perverted ways the Hasidic observe the Mow’ed, will end. Yowm Kipurym will never again be a Day of Atonement, a time to degrade and afflict oneself. And never again will chickens be tortured by perverted Jews. The rules rabbis have imposed to make the Shabat so burdensome and laborious will be eliminated so that the Covenant’s children can flourish with our Father and His Son.
But let there be no mistake, Yahowah is not eliminating any part of His plans for His people. His Shabat, Chag, and Mow’edym will be observed and celebrated forevermore. It is only “hy’ | her” corruption that is being rebuked and removed.
Also relevant, since Yahowah will have fulfilled the Mow’edym with his Son, the fact that Judaism denies Dowd’s contribution will weigh heavily in God’s thinking. The collective failure of Jews to acknowledge the Zarowa’ contribution to the Covenant and Mashyach’s role as Ben ‘Elohym, will be their undoing.
Yahowah creates and Ba’al perverts. Yahowah cannot corrupt and Ba’al cannot create. That is why Satan counterfeits. It is why the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam reflect aspects of Yahowah’s 149message but, as in a mirror, in reverse. Left is now right and right is now wrong.
The grapevines which produce wine and are rooted in the land are symbolic of eternal life. The fig tree is a metaphor for Yisra’el. When it is healthy, its fruit is considered to be as sweet as honey. When it shrivels, the fig is a sign of impending distress and divine judgment on a weakened and dying Yisra’el.
“‘I will destroy (wa shamem – leave desolate, lay waste and abandon) her vines (gephen hy’ – her tendrils of her grapevines) and her fig trees (wa ta’enah hy’), whereof she has said (‘asher ‘amar), “These gratuities are for me (‘ethnah hem la ‘any – these payments for being a prostitute are mine, they are for the services I have provided to those I have served) because my sexual partners and lovers (‘asher ‘ahab ‘any – coveting things and bribes) have given them to me (nathan la ‘any).”
However (wa), I will cause them to be (sym hem) a thicket of tangled undergrowth (la ya’ar), and the animals (wa chayah) of the land (ha sadeh – of the open environment cultivated to be a broad way) shall devour them (‘akal hem).’” (Howsha’ / He Delivers / Hosea 2:12)
Things will never protect us. Moreover, the wages of religious prostitution will not a ticket to Heaven purchase. The faithful may believe that they have earned their salvation, but God begs to differ.
Had the Yahuwdym not been rebellious, they would have remained rooted in the land rather than dispersed. They would have been fruitful and flourished rather than being uprooted, pruned, and abused. They would have enjoyed every sweetness in this temporal life.
To be attached to Yahowah’s vines and to be able to sit under His fig trees is to enjoy the blessings of life, including eternal life, perfection, and adoption, enrichment 150and empowerment, peace and prosperity, liberation and enlightenment, forevermore. But the Yisra’elites became pimps for other gods, accepting money to create religious doctrines for man and beast.
While Yahowah lavishes every reward on those who choose Him, He is a jealous God when it comes to relationships, and He will not share us with the religious.
“‘I will take an inventory and record (wa peqad – I will recount and keep a record) against her (‘al hy’) for the time in association with (‘eth yowm) ha Ba’alym | the Lords (ha Ba’alym – those who seek to control, to be masters and lord over, to possess and seek to own) because (‘asher) she blew smoke, burned incense, and made offerings to them (qatar la hem).
Then she was adorned, playing religious dress-up (wa ‘adah – she wore clothing designed to show off her status) with her ornamental rings and circular objects (nezem hy’ – with round sun disks on her ears, nose, and fingers).
Bejeweled (wa chelyah), she went after (hy’ wa halak ‘achar) her lovers, pursuing her desires and illicit relationships (‘ahab hy’).
And she ignored and then forgot Me (wa ‘eth ‘any shakach),’ prophetically announces (na’um) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH – existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration).” (Howsha’ / He Saves / Hosea 2:13)
God’s frustration with the religiosity of His people is palpable – the most prevalent and repeated theme throughout the Towrah and Prophets. This statement is no exception. Yahowah is exposing and condemning Yisra’el’s attraction to, and worship of, false gods. Whether they are blowing smoke or playing religious 151dress-up, God is disgusted by what the rabbis have done, and Judaism is doing, to denigrate and estrange the Chosen People.
Who can blame Him? Each time I consider what Rabbi Samson cited in his thoroughly cited essay on prophecy, I want to puke. These men, the whole lot of them, including Paul, who sounds just like them, are among the most disgusting individuals the world has ever known. Unlike the infamous Gentiles who were savages, Yahuwdym are guilty of taking Yahowah’s words and gifts and squandering them, perverting them and then tossing them at the feet of their rabbis and other false gods.
Come Judgment Day, let me assure you, being in the company of rabbis will be akin to being among the prophets of Ba’al before ‘ElYah. I’d recommend running away before your soul is singed. Or, if you prefer, do as the Haredim have done: pretend to be Torah-observant, even righteous, and ignore everything Yahowah has revealed in opposition to Judaism and see how that turns out.
Some will disavow them, leaving their crippling world forevermore. In this transitional statement, Yahowah is pointing the way back home – from ‘azab to beryth. The door is open, are you?
“‘Therefore, and by contrast, long thereafter (la ken – to facilitate an upright and honest approach), behold (hineh – please pay attention), knowing that she has been deceived, I will leave the way wide open to persuade her should she become open-minded (‘anoky pathah hy’ – since she is easily seduced and enticed, having been readily misled and gullible, I will provide ample space (piel participle – God is enabling the receptive to benefit in a demonstrable and active way)).
At that moment, I will walk with her (wa halak hy’ – I will go with her (hifil perfect – Yah is making it possible for them to walk together in one accord at this time)) to 152ponder the word, even in the place where these statements are questioned (ha midbar – in the desolate wilderness; from my – to question and consider dabar – the word), such that I speak words (wa dabar – so that these statements are transmitted) to her heart, making an impression upon her judgment and thinking (‘al leb hy’ – upon her inclinations, motivations, and thoughts, thereby enabling sound decision-making). (Howsha’ 2:14)
Beginning then and there (min sham), I am prepared to give to her, so that she can approach (wa nathan la hy – I will offer her at that time to draw near (qal perfect)), her vineyards and vinedresser, her garden and resulting fruit (‘eth kerem hy’).
The Valley of ‘Akowr | Troubles (wa ‘eth ‘emeq ‘Akowr – accordingly, the deep depression and profoundly cunning plot to deviate away from what is known and is, therefore, disturbing, stirring up trouble) will become the open doorway (la petach – a portal to a more expansive realm, the gateway to being liberated, an opening for the free to encounter) of hope, of confidently expecting a good and beneficial future (tiqwah – a way to be optimistic and move forward).
Then and there, along with the name (wa sham), she will respond with the answer (‘anah – she will reply, offer her declaration, and sing, lifting up her voice (qal perfect)) as in the days of her youth (ka yowm na’uwrym hy’ – consistent with her childhood, early in life, when she was served), and as in the day (wa ka yowm) when lifted up, she ascended (‘alah hy’ – she was taken away and withdrawn) out of the land (min ‘erets) of Mitsraym | the Crucibles of Political and Religious Oppression (Mitsraym – the cauldrons of cruel persecution where the people were confined and restricted by military and economic institutions; plural of matsowr – to be delineated as a foe and besieged during a time of testing and tribulation, from tsuwr – to be bound and confined by an 153adversary, assaulted and shut up in the likes of a concentration camp by those showing great hostility).’” (Howsha’ / He Protects / Hosea 2:15)
This prophetic announcement opens with a fortuitous offer and a provocative phrase. A way is being left wide open for reconciliation. Yahowah is even committing to walk beside Yisra’el through it all.
After exposing and condemning the beguiling and controlling aspects of the religion of His people, God is providing His alternative. We have been offered access to the truth and the freedom to choose. Long after Judaism and its derivatives, Christianity and Islam, have seduced and deceived the gullible, Yahowah has opened a door for the open-minded.
And He is there, waiting for His children should they be willing to walk with Him and ponder His word at long last. But this opportunity, written as it was in the perfect conjugation, will not exist forever. This is your moment, Yisra’el. Seize it.
If midbar just means wilderness, then Yahowah is promising to speak to His people even when they are separated from Him in a lifeless and barren landscape. If midbar is to mean desert, then Yahowah is committing to, once again, draw His people out of the desolate world of religious oppression and into the Promised Land. A garden awaits. ‘Eden beckons.
More than this, it is apparent that midbar is comprised of the interrogatory my, which means to question and contemplate, and dabar | the word of God. Therefore, in the midst of confusing religious claims, false pretenses, and rabbinic charades, Yahowah will speak to the hearts and minds of those who will listen. He will impress on His people’s thinking about what they need to know to restore their relationship.
154Yisra’el’s vineyards will be reestablished, protected, and groomed by an accomplished vinedresser. We are being invited back into God’s Garden where we will be fruitful and flourish.
The ‘Emeq ‘Akowr | Valley of Troubles has a Petach Tiqwah | Doorway of Hope. After suffering through three millennia of deep depression resulting from this profoundly cunning religious plot to deviate away from what is known, the children’s troubles are finally over. Yahowah provides a portal to a more expansive realm – one without the controlling influence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We have been given every reason to tiqwah | confidently expect a good and beneficial future. There is a reason to be optimistic and a way to move forward.
It was at ‘Akowr where the Yisra’elites who disregarded Yahowah’s instructions at Jericho and stole things from the temples of Ba’al were exposed, judged, and then punished – stoned to death and then incinerated. Therefore, those who are finally willing to listen will find a day of reconciliation and a new chance at life.
While the door is being opened, to pass through it we must be prepared to ‘anah | respond. God is going to expect that His people will ‘anah | reply to the Invitation to Meet on this day, and that they will know the answer He is seeking. These surviving and observant Yisra’elites will be restored and God’s children will act like children – looking up to and adoring their Father. Yahuwdym will be free again – thank God Almighty.
As surely as Yahowah brought His people out of bondage in Mitsraym, He will liberate them from the babel of Judaism, even Christianity and Islam – perhaps also from having their minds turned to mush by Progressives – although that may be beyond even His ability.
155Speaking of the Day of Reconciliations, Yahowah inspired Howsha’ to write something astonishing…
“‘During (wa ba – in, with, and on) this specific day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), it shall be (hayah – it will happen and come to exist at this moment (qal perfect)),’ prophetically declares (na’um – reveals in advance of it occurring) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – our ‘elowah | God as directed in His ToWRaH | teaching regarding His HaYaH | existence and our ShaLoWM | restoration), ‘you will invite, welcome, and meet with Me as an individual (qara’ ‘iysh ‘any – you shall move toward and greet with Me as your marriage partner, summoning Me as if I were a husband, as One who is extant, present, and in existence, even as a person in your midst).
And then you will never again call Me (wa lo’ qara’ la ‘any – you will not summon Me or recite aloud to Me (qal imperfect – literally never refer to Me and forevermore never proclaim)) Ba’aly | ‘My Lord’ (ba’al ‘any) ever again (‘owd – now or forevermore). (Howsha’ 2:16)
For I will remove (wa suwr – renounce and reject, separating Myself from, revolting against, repudiating and abolishing), accordingly (‘eth), the names and reputations (shem – the designations and renown) of ha Ba’alym | the Lords (ha Ba’alym – of the false gods seeking to possess and control) from (min – out of) her mouth (peh hy’ – her lips and language), and (wa) they shall not be remembered, recalled, or mentioned (lo’ zakar – they will not be proclaimed or be brought to mind) by (ba) their name (ba shem hem) ever again (‘owd – any longer).’” (Howsha’ / He Saves / Hosea 2:17)
The day of Yahowah’s return when all of this will occur is Yowm Kipurym. It is the concluding date of the great intermission. The Yahuwdym who are being reunited with Yahowah will call out to Him by name, welcoming God back into their lives by His proper designation. And 156this is the day the remnant of Yisra’el will cry over having failed to recognize Dowd as their Savior.
There are many profound insights associated with this prophetic declaration. The first of those is that Yahowah used qara’ | to invite and welcome, to meet and greet, twice in reference to this day, letting us know that He is speaking of the Miqra’ey – which He and His Son fulfilled. These are the most important days on Yahowah’s seven-millennium calendar.
Second, on the Day of Reconciliations in year 6000 Yah, those who have been adopted into the Covenant will be immortal, perfected, enriched, and empowered to such an extent that we will relate to Yahowah as an individual, rather than as God. Affirming this, in Yirma’yah 31, Yahowah tells us that He will be placing His Towrah | Guidance within us. This will enable us to know and understand so much more than our current levels of comprehension, our perspective will change.
Moreover, Yah will be energizing us, transforming our frail and feeble three-dimensional material existence into seven-dimensional spiritual beings akin to light. By design, Yahowah will make us so much like Him that we will relate to Him as one individual engages with another.
Third, by using ‘iysh, Yahowah is saying that, in addition to perceiving Him as an individual person, the family will be whole again – the divorce is now over. This is because ‘iysh can be translated as “husband.”
Fourth, upon Yahowah’s return, and once He has reconciled His relationship with His people, in the first act of forever, Yahowah is going to prohibit the use of the name and title, “Lord.” It will become the “L” word of eternity – never to be spoken by anyone, not even in jest.
Amazing. The single most common name, the ubiquitous title for the gods of religion, “Lord,” will never 157again be spoken because Yahowah hates it. This means that nothing irritates Yahowah more than this religious designation.
Should you wonder why this is the case, it is because Yahowah is a liberator, and lords control. Yahowah is our Father, and lords are owners. Yahowah gives while lords possess. Lords are feared while God wants to earn our respect. And Lords are modeled after the covetous and controlling men who created them in their image.
At this great celebration of reconciliation, the thing that Yahowah cherishes the most is never being called “Lord” again. That means, when the rabbis, priests and pastors scratched His name out of His testimony 7000 times, replacing Yahowah with the Lord, God is antagonized to the point of exasperation.
One of the most popular Bible translations is the New American Standard. When we look at their “Preface,” we find that it concludes with these words: “The Proper Name for God: To professing Christians, whether of conservative or liberal persuasion, the name of God is most significant and understandably so. It is inconceivable to think of spiritual matters without a proper designation for the Supreme Deity. Thus the most common name for deity is God, a translation of the original Elohim.” That’s not true – god, like ‘elohym, is a word, not a proper name, which is why it’s translated and not transliterated.
The preface continues: “The normal word for Master is Lord, a rendering of Adonai.” This is designed to purposely mislead based upon what follows. First, adonai is a common title and not a distinct name. To the extent the title was considered a name, it was directed at the Greek god, Adonis. Second, adonai means “my master or my owner – the one who controls and possesses me.” Third, Yahowah just said that the select few who are reconciled in the end will never even consider using Lord in reference 158to God. And fourth, Yahowah has but one name, and it is not ‘adonai.
Therefore, the NASB’s editors were lying when they wrote: “There is yet another name which is particularly assigned to God as His special or proper name, that is, the four letters YHWH. See Exodus 3 and Isaiah 42:8. This name has not been pronounced by the Jews because of reverence for the great sacredness of the divine name. Therefore, it was consistently pronounced and translated LORD.” This is also untrue. YaHoWaH was replaced by the Lord. Yahowah was never pronounced or translated as “Lord”.
A translation, by definition, conveys the meaning of a word from one language into its equivalent in another. YaHoWaH does not mean “Lord.” Moreover, names, unlike words, should be transliterated, replicating their pronunciation, rather than translated. Therefore, Yahowah is Yahowah in every language on Earth. No exceptions. And yet, those prostituting themselves as religious whores, accepting money for a pretense, would have you believe…
“The only exception to this translation of YHWH is when it occurs in immediate proximity to the word Lord, that is, Adonai. In that case it is regularly translated God in order to avoid confusion.”
Actually, it was done to avoid making the NASB translators look like ignoramuses. Rendering ‘adony YaHoWaH (actually ‘edon Yahowah), as Lord LORD would only serve to reveal their duplicitous fraud.
The NASB theologians conclude with this parting salvo: “It is known that for many years YHWH has been transliterated as Yahweh. No complete certainty attaches to the pronunciation. However, it is felt by many who are in touch with the laity of our churches that this name conveys no religious or spiritual overtones. It is strange, uncommon, and without sufficient religious and devotional 159background. No amount of scholarly debate can overcome this deficiency. Hence, it was decided to avoid the use of this name in the translation proper.” Well, at least these scholars got something right. Yahowah’s name conveys no religious overtones. His name is strange and uncommon to the ears of most people because of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic editors: no scholarly debate between men can overcome this deficiency.
If you own an NIV translation, don’t gloat. It says: “In regard to the divine name YHWH, commonly referred to as the Tetragrammaton, the translators adopted the device used in most English versions of rendering that name as ‘LORD’ in capital letters to distinguish it from Adonai, another Hebrew word rendered ‘Lord,’ for which small letters are used.” Fortunately, Yahowah has a plan in place to resolve this problem – not that the religious will like it.
Open a King James Bible and weep. The title page reads: “King James Version—TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE: JAMES.” That is sufficient to burn the book. It would be King James’ version, not Yahowah’s.
King James, coveting a divine sanction to rule had his supporters write: “Great and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first he sent Your Majesty’s Royal Person to rule and reign over us.” Yahowah was relegated to a lowercase “he” while James was promoted to a parade of capitals designating deity. The KJV was for him, after all.
The dark spirit behind this politically inspired religious twist is revealed in the next line: “For whereas it was the expectation of many, who wished not well unto our Sion, that upon the setting of that bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth of most happy memory, some think and palpable clouds of darkness would so have overshadowed 160this Land, that men should have been in doubt which way they were to walk; and that it should be hardly known who was to direct the unsettled State; the appearance of Your Majesty, as of the Sun in his strength, instantly dispelled those supposed and surmised mists, and gave unto all that were well affected exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we beheld the Government established in Your Highness and Your hopeful Seed, by an undoubted Title.”
Three terms were capitalized and italicized. Sion was referencing James. The Occidental Star is the sun as it is the bright star that sets in the West. The reference to Elizabeth is revealing. Her principal viceroy, John Dee, was an occultist, and in her only official portrait, the Queen is clothed in sun-god images. Their devotion to the sun becomes even more blatant when we read that James’ appearance was “as of the Sun.” The reason Sion, Occidental Star, and Sun are capitalized is that they represent the Christian deity.
Yahowah’s testimony was plastered over and whitewashed by politically and religiously inspired clerics serving the arrogance of a repulsive man who saw himself representing the sun. The primary Bible of the Protestant Church was corrupted to empower and enrich clerics and kings.
Then putting in a plug for themselves and their boss, the scholars who crafted this beguiling propaganda falsely attributed to God by clerics and kings wrote that all will be blessed: “by religious and learned discourse…and by cherishing the Teachers thereof, by caring for the Church, as a most tender and loving nursing Father.” Of course, the Father was James in this context, not Yahowah. And men’s teachings aren’t to be cherished. Moreover, “church” was derived from the name of a pagan sun goddess.
The fourth paragraph of the KJV preface begins: “There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and 161religious affection in Your Majesty [James, not Yahowah]; but none is more forcible to declare it to others than the vehement and perpetuated desire of accomplishing and publishing of this work which we now with all humility present unto Your Majesty.” It is the synthesis of religion – a politically enabling tool designed by men to control both men and women.
The following paragraph even takes a jab at the political and religious competition by saying “So if we shall be traduced [defamed, spoken of maliciously or slanderously] by Popish Persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign us, because we are poor instruments to make God’s holy Truth to be yet more known.” This was no longer Yahowah versus Ba’al: it was one man’s religion against another.
So, the Lords of England, who saw themselves as the Masters and Owners of the realm, saw fit to apply their title to God, calling Yahowah “Lord.” Four centuries later, most remain mired in their mess.
The key to transitioning the open door to eternal life is recognizing the difference between God’s words and those of men, Yahowah’s name and that of the Lord. Howsha’ has stated God’s position on this matter for all who would listen.
