Mashyach | Anointed

 

The Messiah Returns…

The preceding portion of Dany’el was not couched in mystery, although it was doused in religion. It was not conveyed using metaphors or symbols but, instead, religious verbiage. It was a straightforward and readily verified confession, easily corroborated, because Dany’el was adlibbing what Moseh had written.

While Daniel’s religiosity was irritating, his Towrah citations are important because, apart from this preamble, the following prophecy is readily misappropriated and misunderstood. There are two days being predicted and they both pertain to fulfilling the Miqra’ey – days which are meaningful when guided by the Towrah. But since with the Towrah and its Covenant there can be no quarter for religion, should a rabbi or priest ascertain the timing, they would lose their faith in the process.

This compound prophecy was conveyed by Dowd in 538 BCE – 570 years prior to its fulfillment in 33 CE and 2,570 years before he would engage to honor his portion in year 6000 Yah in 2033. The timeline for God’s redemptive plan hinges upon what occurred on Passover, UnYeasted Bread, Firstborn Children, and the Promise of Seven in Year 4000 Yah to enable Kipurym and Sukah forty Yowbel thereafter.

“Then (wa), I was continually communicating and conversing (‘owd ‘any dabar – when I was speaking well 508beyond normal expectations) and pondering questions and contemplating their answers (wa palal – making enquiries regarding the justification to persuade, seeking intervention, arbitration, and intercession, and also thinking about and foreseeing future contingencies and events) and (wa) expressing my gratitude over casting aside (yadah – my appreciation and thankfulness for being able to admit and toss away) my pardonable offenses for having missed the way (chata’ah ‘any – the consequence and punishment for me having gone astray, my iniquity and guilt associated with me wandering away from the right path) and the consequence of my people, Yisra’el, going astray (wa chata’ah ‘am ‘any Yisra’el – in addition to the wrongful nature of my lost family, those who strive against and struggle with God), presenting (naphal – settling upon, offering, and letting go of) my earnest request for favor and mercy (tachinah – my petition and plea for kind, generous, and favorable treatment) to approach the presence of (la paneh – to come face to face with) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence), my God (‘elohy), on (‘al – upon) the set-apart (qodesh – separating, consecrating, preparing, dedicating, purifying and cleansing) mountain (har) of my God (‘elohy),…” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Decide between Vindication and Condemnation / Daniel 9:20)

The words change but not the message and that is because Dany’el hasn’t figured out that his role is to listen and God’s is to speak.

He had missed the way and he knew it. But begging for forgiveness was only making matters worse. He needed to stop requesting mercy and start walking along the path Yahowah had provided to receive it. It is there for the accepting, not requesting.

But at least we can be glad for small favors. As we 509approach Dowd’s appearance and a return to sanity, Dany’el used Yahowah’s name and not the Lord’s.

And to be fair, I understand that our expressive narrator wanted to benefit from what he was witnessing. Having lived a life foreshadowing the ill effects of the rabbis, more than anyone we have met along this journey, Dany’el needed what Yahowah would be providing through Chag Matsah. If our reporter is in Heaven, it is proof positive that the Towrah can pardon the offense of having missed the way.

Having studied the Towrah | Teaching, we know that the Miqra’ of Pesach opens the door to eternal life by resolving the consequence of religion which is death. And we realize that the Miqra’ of Matsah resolves the penalty associated with religious guilt, which is separation from God. Bikuwrym and Shabuw’ah are the results, enabling God’s children to approach our Father as He enriches and empowers us.

Taking this statement out of context, Roman Catholics have errantly stated that their confessionals resolve sin. But all Dany’el did was privately and directly (with no intermediary involved) show his appreciation for the provisions Yahowah had provided in His Towrah to resolve the consequence and penalty of having been religious and political – and this man, of all men, was grateful.

This known, had Dany’el been as certain as the prophets before and after him, he would have been more confident. There is no reason to request what God has already offered. There is nothing to be gained by trying to negotiate with Him or plead one’s case. Yahowah is not going to make a special accommodation for anyone pursuant to the Beryth or Miqra’ey. He is going to do exactly as He has promised.

Dany’el was struggling to leave Babylon – something 510God requires of us. This chapter in his life, when compared to the others, shows that he was trying, but there was still far too much babel in him.

The dichotomy between Dany’el and the likes of Moseh and Dowd or Yirma’yah and Yasha’yah is enormous. His rhetoric is so divergent, it warrants full and constant disclosure. For example, we are encouraged to read the Towrah and Prophets, listen to what Yahowah has to say, think about it, and then share what we have learned. Dany’el was incessantly conveying his preferences – which were consistently wrong, and at best, irrelevant.

We ought not place Yahowah on a pedestal because He is more comfortable interacting with us as our Father. We are encouraged to relate to God as our friend and as someone who we realize is committed to supporting what we are achieving together.

I ask very little of God while Dany’el is constantly pleading for one thing and then another. I recognize that Yahowah is here to help, and I know that He wants us to understand so that we can more effectively share His message with His people. His prime objective is to reconcile the relationship with Yisra’el and be merciful. There is no need to ask God to do what He is already committed to accomplishing. Moreover, Yahowah has told us exactly how we need to respond if we want to benefit. The first step in that direction is to be the antithesis of what we have witnessed thus far in this man.

He was chosen because he could write and because of where he was at the time. One was essential and the other pivotal to God’s mandate. And we can benefit because we can read. Beyond this, Dany’el, having been infected by the disease Yahowah exposed through the succession of Beasts, exemplifies the power of the solution presented in this chapter.

“While I was continuing to (wa ‘owd ‘any) converse, 511involved in the conveyance of words (dabar – I was talking) either praying for intervention or intent of being distinct and different, longing to be uncommon (‘el taphilah – either I was praying or desirous of being set apart as discriminating and special; from ta’ab – to desire and palah – pleading to be set apart as special while thinking about the future, asking questions and contemplating the answers), then (wa) the individual, this man, (ha ‘iysh – the person and human being who is a champion, supporter, and defender), Gabry’el | I Am God’s Most Confident and Capable, Courageous and Combative Man (wa Gabry’el – the Almighty’s exceptionally proficient and powerful defender, an exemplar of character who confirms the truth; a compound of ‘any – I am a geber – particularly strong and resolute human being, a capable and authorized individual, an aggressive and confrontational person, a fighter, defender, and protector who prevails with ‘el – Almighty God; from gabar – exceptionally proficient, absolutely assured, resolutely corroborative, tremendously powerful and great), whom, to reveal the proper path (‘asher – to show the benefits of the relationship), I had seen (ra’ah – I had witnessed, observed, perceived, inspected, and considered) during the initial prophetic revelation (ba ha chazown ba ha tachilah – in the earlier communication during the beginning vision of the future which I was able to see), offering advice while preoccupied with the destruction of existing militaries (ya’aph ba ya’aph – providing counsel and addressing the purpose of what is occurring while appearing wearied, or perhaps exasperated, moving swiftly between battles, from ya’ats – to offer advice and counsel regarding the purpose of the plan), reached out to make contact with me (naga’ ‘el ‘any – extended himself to reach out to me) around the time of the evening (ka ‘eth ‘ereb – according to the right season of the year at sunset) offering (minchah – apportionment which is bestowed as a present or gift).” (Dany’el / My God is 512Judgmental / Daniel 9:21)

Thank God for Dowd.

Previously in Dany’el 8:15 and 16, a geber | confident and confrontational man heralded the arrival of Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable Person. The final Witness, whom Dany’el introduces as Myka’el | One Who is Truthful and Right About God at the beginning of the 12^th chapter, qara’ | summoned Dowd, knowing that he plays the starring role in this drama. Upon his arrival, and after encouraging Dany’el to start thinking, and to stand up and be accountable, the Messiah and King told Dany’el to listen to his sar | representative and herald, Yada, the one who will make this known so that you will understand.

Previously speaking to Dany’el about Yada (Daniel 8:19), Dowd said, “As the final witness to the eternal testimony regarding the restoring appointments of the Mow’ed, he will literally and without interruption convey the way to receive the benefits of the relationship, doing so in the distant future, during the last days, and on behalf of the indignant remnant.”

Now that Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent Man, Dowd, has returned, and after reinforcing the fact that he is an ‘iysh | person, we are told that he has been busy ya’aph ba ya’aph | offering advice while preoccupied with the destruction of existing militaries. Dowd has been providing counsel regarding the purpose of what is occurring while appearing wearied, or perhaps exasperated, moving swiftly between battles. Yisra’el’s great defender is doing what he does best.

Dowd will be exceedingly busy at this time. His first order of business will be to anoint the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant so that Yahowah can reconcile His relationship with Yisra’el. Then he will go to war, defending Yahuwdym from those who have come to annihilate them. All the while, he will commence his role 513as our Shepherd and Counselor, Messiah and King.

The realization that the Mashyach | Messiah has been called away from the most important duties of his life to provide insights relative to Yahowah mashach | anointing him once again upon his return on Kipurym | Reconciliations as king, is poetic, prophetic, and profound. Considering the source of these insights, labeling “Jesus,” the “Christ,” rather than acknowledging Dowd, is short-sighted to the point of being blind. Dowd | David is our Prophet and Counselor, Shepherd and Messiah returning High Priest and King. Yahowsha’ was the Passover Lamb.

Before we move on, there is no ka ‘eth ‘ereb minchah | evening offering prescribed in the Towrah. However, in his defense, there is an evening apportionment which is bestowed as a gift – Pesach | Passover – which is celebrated at sundown. Addressing Passover in this instance is both relevant and helpful considering what follows. So, Dany’el may have returned to using code words to delay comprehension.

Should you think it inappropriate to associate something as generic as ka ‘eth ‘ereb minchah with the magnificence of Yahowah’s Passover sacrifice, you’d have a valid point. But there is nothing wrong with considering every reasonable possibility. While being as accurate and consistent as possible, we are committed to going where these words lead.

God works through curious souls because He realizes that those who question everything find resolution. They not only grow in understanding but, also, in confidence. I suspect that Yahowah chose His final messenger with this in mind, recognizing His son’s appreciation of how yada’ would result in byn…

“So (wa) he made the connections to encourage understanding (byn – he pursued comprehension by being 514discriminating and perceptive to facilitate discernment through careful consideration), and he spoke with me (wa dabar ‘im ‘any – then he communicated using words to me), and he said (wa ‘amar), ‘Dany’el (Dany’el – My God Judges, Condemns, and Vindicates; from dyn – to decide with ‘el – God), now at this time (‘atah – so then in the sequence of things), I have come forth (yatsa’ – I have descended to extend) to provide insights and instruction which, if you are circumspect and considerate, will promote (la sakal ‘atah – to teach the prudent to pay attention, and you through contemplation to gain) understanding through discernment (bynah – enabling comprehension through diligence and reason).’” (Dany’el / God Judges / Daniel 9:22)

Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent and Confrontational Man, Dowd | the Beloved, is the living embodiment of byn | understanding the dabar | word of God. This is his ‘atah | time when he will lead the final yatsa’ | exodus – this one out of what Babel | Being Confused by the Lord. By listening to Dowd throughout his Mizmowr and Mashal, we revel in his sakal | insights and grow in bynah | understanding. This is why Yahowah selected Dowd for these roles and why we are wise to learn from his example.

It is encouraging to see God’s son, our king, speak to Dany’el. This is encouraging for the rest of us, especially when we consider the difference between Dowd’s intellect and standing with God relative to our own. Last time they met, even as I was introducing them, Dany’el had done a nose plant. So now by asking him to think it through, Dowd forestalled more of the same. He is brilliant after all…

“In the beginning, while sickening and inappropriate (ba tachilah – initially, while common to the point of being profane; from chalah – to be a sorrowful and sickening beggar, a wearisome infected and diseased malcontent and chalal – to profane and desecrate through common and defiling religious practices), the matter 515(dabar – the message and word) of your desire for favors and your pleading for mercy (tachanuwn ‘atah – your longing for love and compassion, your constant petitions; from a compound of ta’ab | to desire and ta’ah | to point out, with chanan | mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and favor) was brought up (yatsa’ – it came out).

So, I, myself, have come (wa ‘any bow’ – therefore, I have arrived, having returned) to conspicuously report an informative announcement and make this known (la nagad – to provide the message in a straightforward fashion, making this declaration) because (ky) you are so needy and covetous (chamadowth ‘atah – you delight in this and value such things).

Therefore (wa), you will want to consider and understand (byn – by choosing to be perceptive, discerning, and discriminating, you will comprehend after diligent and systematic evaluation (qal imperative)) through this message (ba ha dabar – through this statement), choosing to make the connections needed to comprehend (wa byn – by being perceptive and circumspect to understand (hifil imperative)), what is being revealed (ba ha mar’eh – what is being witnessed).” (Dany’el / My God Judges / Daniel 9:23)

While true, this was a slap in the face to a man who needed it. With all of his pleading, Dany’el had become irritating. As I expected while reading through this, God does not want us begging Him to do as He has already promised or to request what He will never provide. We cannot go wrong when listening to God and are often wrong when pleading with Him.

As a compound word based upon chalah | to be a sickening and sorrowful beggar, a wearisome and diseased malcontent, tachilah presents Daniel as we have cast him. Frankly, it was obvious – which was the point and the reason for Dowd’s astute assessment.

516Moreover, since tachilah is also shaded by chalal, which addresses the commonality and profanity of religious and political corruption, Dany’el is exactly as I had surmised. He is prophetic of politicized religion. He is being used as a foil upon which to expose and condemn the emergence and spread of the weeds we know as Rabbinic Judaism and Roman Christianity.

Now if I may, after listening to him, I would like to thank our Messiah and Shepherd for confirming that this radically different interpretation of Daniel is accurate! Never once during the nearly 2,600 years which have transpired since the book was written, has anyone dared to present this man from this perspective. And now that we are here, and have done so, boldly sharing Yahowah’s disdain for religion and politics, we find God’s Anointed affirming that we are right.

The first six chapters of Daniel are prophetic, presenting the disgusting consequence of religious and political indoctrination. The stench is sickening and debilitating to mankind and irritating to God. The opening chapters serve as an exposé on why God hates Babylon and why men and women must leave its toxic influence to be with Him.

Try as he might to distance himself from this horrible stain on his soul and stigma on his life, Dany’el was still plagued by his childhood programming and by being indoctrinated at the height of Babylon’s deplorable culture. It did not matter what he ate or said, because he had swallowed the poison and it had profaned and corrupted him. His contribution to this story is that he could write. Beyond that, he is the embodiment of all that is wrong with Babel, of associating with the Lord, and of integrating religion and politics. Dany’el is a spawn of the Beast and represents the emergence of Judaism and Christianity.

For his sake, I hope he figured it out before it was too 517late. It is certain that he was afforded enough information to resolve this problem. After all, that is the message Dowd will soon convey. If he starts listening and comes to understand, he can still capitalize upon what Father and Son are offering. But between now and that time, let’s keep it real, as Dowd has done, and not be afraid to denounce all that is wrong while celebrating the realization that the Towrah can perfect even the most imperfect.

The pronouncement, ’any bow’ | I, myself, have come, having returned, affirms that the man being identified as Gabry’el has been here previously and that we should be able to readily identify him. Further, he plays an essential role in helping us understand God’s message.

Now that Gabry’el has been properly introduced, and the purpose of this revelation has been established, it is time to consider the prophecy. What follows provides the blueprint for reconciliation and everlasting life. And you’ll note that it is focused upon “your people” and “your city” – Yahuwdym and Yaruwshalaim. Sorry, Twistians, but this pronouncement does not apply to you. And for Jews, please pay attention…

“Seventy sevens (shabuwa’ym shib’iym – the many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with the vows pertaining to all that Seven represents) are determined and decreed (chathak – He has planned, divided out, and marked) for your people (‘al ‘am ‘atah – on behalf of your extended family) and upon your set-apart city (wa ‘al ‘iyr qodesh ‘atah – over your special and separated population center, including the inhabitants who are separated, uncommon, and distinct and, thus, not religious) to bring an end to the religious rebellion (la kalah ha pesha’ – for the riddance and complete elimination of revolting communal defiance, of pervasive transgression, of being at fault, guilty of being contrarians who have defected from the relationship), to sign the agreement which seals up the guilt associated with 518having missed the way, precluding ever being wrong again (wa la chatham chata’owth – to affix the signature affirming the authenticity to that which constrains and prevents everything associated with going astray), to provide reconciliation for religious error (wa la kaphar ‘awon – to purge and cover over by atoning, ransoming and annulling the twisted and corrupting distortions and perversions), to arrive with and bring that which is eternally right, always correct, forever accurate and honest, attaining everlasting vindication (wa la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam – to come with ongoing and perpetual justice and deliverance, innocence and prosperity, returning to pursue enduring and everlasting righteousness), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation, confirming and completing these communications (wa la chatham chazown wa naby’ – to confirm and complete the visual communication from God about the future) and to prophecy (wa naby’ – to the prophet), while also anointing the Most Set Apart (wa la mashach qodesh qodesh – and to consecrate, dedicate, and prepare the separated, special, distinctly different, and uniquely uncommon).” (Dany’el / My God Judges, Condemns, and Vindicates / Daniel 9:24)

From the perspective of time, shabuwa’ym shib’iym is seventy sevens or, potentially, 70 x 7 = 490 prophetic years. Elsewhere, when Dany’el wants to convey a week of seven days, he spells it out just that way. For example, in Dany’el 10:2, the prophet reveals that he was in mourning for “three weeks of days.”

This known, since there is no beginning date attributed to shabuwa’ym shib’iym, and since when a starting time is specified in the next statement, we find 7 weeks and 62 weeks, we would be wise to consider a more enlightening definition, such as: the many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with what the vows pertaining to all that Seven represents.

519The Miqra’ of Shabuw’ah | Seven Sevens derives its name from shabuwa’. During this day, the Covenant’s children are enriched by Yahowah’s Towrah and empowered by His Ruwach. We are emancipated and enlightened. The Mow’ed reflects God’s affinity for the Shabat with us celebrating the relationship built upon the promise of seven. It serves as a reflection of Yahowah’s favorite day and His preferred number. Most everything important to Yah follows the formula of six (the number of man who was conceived on the sixth day) with God (who is one) yielding the ideal result.

Shabuwa’ym shib’iym can also speak of multiple periods of seven days – each based upon a promise or sworn oath pertaining to seven. Therefore, Dowd may be explaining how Yahowah’s promise to fulfill the Miqra’ey in year 4000 Yah not only makes it possible for us to enjoy eternal life, being perfected, adopted, empowered, and enriched, these gifts ultimately result in the reconciliation of His children in year 6000 Yah as the final two of seven Mow’ed are fulfilled.

Along these lines, the seven days of Creation, the depiction of the Shabat, the number of Invitations to be Called Out and Meet, and indeed the history of humankind estranged from God, even the number of Ruwach devoted to facilitating the book you are reading, are predicated upon the formula of six plus one equates to seven. As such, nearly six thousand years of man separated from Yahowah have transpired since we were expelled from ‘Eden. We are, therefore, on the cusp of a one-thousand-year celebration of living together again. This will commence coinciding with the seventh and final Miqra’, Sukah | Shelters, where we camp out with our Father. In this light, shabuwa’ym shib’iym defines the passage of time needed for us to return to and live in ‘Eden again.

There are two additional insights regarding shabuwa’ym shib’iym that I’d like to share. The first is that 520it addresses the fullness of time, speaking of the seventy centuries over which the seven Miqra’ey would unfold. And second, when we add the 7 weeks of years between the edict to return and the restoration of Yaruwshalaim, to the 62 weeks of years between that time and the fulfillment of the first four Miqra’ey, we are left 1 week of years shy of 70. So with the missing 7 years attributed to the Time of Trouble, the inference is that nothing of merit occurred between year 4000 Yah in 33 CE and year 5993 Yah in 2026. The rise of the rabbis and the Church Age are, thereby, rendered meaningless and irrelevant. I find that delicious.

Since Dowd will go on to present the exact day and year in which Yahowah will begin fulfilling the first four Mow’ed Miqra’ey – Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah – there are aspects of these Invitations to Meet which are germane to the prophecy. By fulfilling Passover and UnYeasted Bread, God’s children become immortal and are perfected, thereby forever resolving the consequence of pesha’, chata’ah, and ‘awon, while ushering in an ‘owlam celebration of everything which is tsedeq.

Recognizing that Dowd began with a reference to the Miqra’ of Shabuw’ah, he is revealing that it is germane to his mission. Shabuwa’ is a celebration of the Shabat | Shabat and Promise of Seven, where we enjoy our lives together. Shabuw’ah derives its name from shaba’ | seven, which also means “sworn oath or promise.” Furthermore, the most unique aspect of Shabuwa’ is that everyone is invited to participate: Yahuwdym and Gowym, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, with the right inviting the wrong.

Shabuw’ah follows Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children by seven weeks, and it serves to improve the lives and witness of God’s family. As such, Shabuw’ah is a celebration of the Covenant relationship. And as the fourth of seven 521Invitations to be Called Out and Meet, the reference to Shabuw’ah correlates to the fourth millennium of human history when its benefits were initially offered, albeit seldom accepted. As the middle Miqra’, it correlates perfectly with Dowd’s purpose and position at the midpoint of God’s restorative timeline.

While we have been over this territory previously, few things are more important to understanding Yahowah’s timing than developing an appreciation of how we got to this place in time. When we account for the generations from ‘Adam to ‘Abraham, we find that forty Yowbel, or 2000 years, separate them. Additionally, another forty Yowbel transpire from ‘Abraham’s experience on Mount Mowryah to Yahowsha’s Passover sacrifice in this same place. And that means that a pattern has emerged.

Two thousand years after ‘Adam’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden, God confirmed the Covenant in 1968 BCE (year 2000 Yah) with ‘Abraham for us to return home. Then to provide its benefits, including immortality, perfection, adoption, enrichment, and empowerment, He would return to this place forty Yowbel thereafter in year 4000 Yah (33 CE), walking out of the pages of the Towrah to fulfill Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children followed by the Promise of Seven.

But that would not be the end of God’s story. Forty Yowbel later on the Miqra’ of Kipurym in year 6000 Yah (Sunset on October 2^nd, 2033), Yahowah will return with Dowd to reconcile His relationship with Yisra’el and Yahuwdym, restoring the Covenant by integrating His Towrah into the lives of His children. Five days later as we celebrate Sukah | Shelters, we will enjoy the final one thousand years of human history on this planet – camping out with our Heavenly Father through year 7000 Yah.

This statement from Dowd was spoken to unfurl the entire canvas of time and the towrah. This is the entire 522picture from beginning to end.

It isn’t until Dowd’s next statement that he pinpoints the exact day in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah when the first four Mow’ed Miqra’ey would be, and now have been, fulfilled. From there, we can readily deduce Yahowah’s and Dowd’s return on Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah, to the minute, hour, day, and year.

We can also turn back the clock 40 Yowbel from year 4000 Yah to ascertain when the Beryth | Covenant was ratified between Yahowah, ‘Abraham, Sarah, and Yitschaq. Another 40 Yowbel back in time takes us to the day ‘Adam and Chawah were exiled from the Garden, establishing the year Yahowah’s 7,000-year calendar began to unfold.

It is also interesting to travel in time to the midway point between ‘Adam and ‘Abraham – 20 Yowbel from each – because we arrive at Noach’s birth in advance of the flood. Similarly, by splitting the difference between ‘Abraham and Yahowsha’, we are directed to the year the cornerstone was laid in year 3000 Yah.

Digging deeper, there are some interesting subtleties associated with chathak | determined and decreed which we should consider. It is a precise computation of time. God has a plan. It has been marked out for us in the Towrah wa Naby’. It will play out on His schedule – on the very days He has determined.

Time, from Yah’s perspective, is divided and segmented, with one event separated from the next by an exacting measure. And God is resolute in His resolve to see His plan through. There will be no hesitation, equivocation, or delay.

Also relevant, since the dates of the Mow’ed are determined every year, with Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children celebrated on the 14^th, 15^th, and 16^th523days of the first month, we should expect that Dowd’s revelation will lead us directly to Pesach in the Yowbel Shanah of 4000 Yah. If so, God assuredly knows when and where He is going to fulfill His promises. And since He provided us with the means to determine these dates, we are privy to what He knows.

There is no justification or excuse for the random dating Maimonides thrust upon an ignorant and unsuspecting audience. Here in the early fall of 2022, as we approach Sukah, it is year 5989 Yah – with just 11 years remaining before Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah – sunset in Jerusalem, 6:22 PM local time, on October 2^nd, 2033.

The Rambam was wrong on all accounts. Creation occurred 14 billion years ago, not in 3759 BCE as he claimed. Further, the expulsion from Gan ‘Eden, demarking year 0 Yah, transpired in 3968 BCE. A new year begins on the 1^st of Abyb, in the Spring, not when the Babylonians observed Rosh Hashanah. But since the rabbi was more impressed with his own calculations than the genealogies established in the Towrah for this purpose, his Sanctification of the Moon scheme has led Jews astray for over 800 years.

When Yahowah inspires one of His prophets to say ‘am ‘anah | for your people, He is almost always addressing Yisra’el and Yahuwdym. Not only is this affirmed by the constant references to ‘am throughout the Towrah, ‘am also means “family.” Therefore, the plan Yahowah is unfurling would be designed in support of the Covenant He established with Yisra’el beginning with ‘Abraham and Sarah.

Yahowah’s focus is on Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation. The ‘iyr qodesh | set-apart city, therefore, not only denotes the location where these prophecies would be fulfilled but, also, for whom. It is not 524only the most qodesh | set-apart place on Earth, it is in Jerusalem that Yahowah made it possible for us to be separated from the pesha’, chata’ah, and ‘awon of man and be tsedeq regarding Him.

Qodesh is among the most revealing and least understood terms in the Hebrew lexicon. It means “to be set apart.” It affirms that God wants us to be like Him, distinct from the ways of man and, thus, uncommon. So when we consider the two most pervasive and popular human agencies, to be qodesh means that we should not be religious or political. To be set apart unto Yahowah is to be separated from such things.

Everything which is important to Yahowah is qodesh, including the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit. Yisra’el, Yahuwdah, Yaruwshalaim, and Mowryah are qodesh, as are Yahowah’s name, His Towrah, Beryth, Miqra’ey, and Shabat. Yahowah’s ‘am | Family is also set apart as is His beyth | Home – especially the one which will be the third and final iteration built upon Mowryah.

Within its third iteration, there will be a Qodesh Qodesh | Most Set-Apart Place. It will model the location where Yahowah was seen and heard above the Ark of the Covenant. And it will be here that Dowd will mashach | anoint the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat as the first order of business upon his return on Yowm Kipurym, doing so within the Beyth | Home he and his Father will erect with their words.

Each of these things is separate and distinct from the common aspects of the human experience. And while they are all unique and special to God, the most set apart are the Spirit, His Son, and the place within His Home devoted to the Reconciliation of His Family.

Therefore, when theologians mistranslate Yahowah’s revelation using religious terminology like “holy,” the faithful are played for fools. They are stupefied into 525believing that religion is the cure rather than the disease. In truth, She’owl | Hell is set apart from God while Shamaym | Heaven is set apart from religion.

Now that Yahowah has revealed when, for whom, and where He is going to act pursuant to this prophecy, let’s consider what He is going to do and why He is committed to accomplishing this list of six things. The first is la kalah ha pesha’ | to bring an end to the revolting religious rebellion. According to God, Yisra’elites have engaged in communal insubordination and mass defection, showing solidarity in their contrarian positions. And while this means that Judaism has been toxic to Jews, it is no more or less deadly than Christianity or Islam, Socialist Secular Humanism or Communism. Wrong comes in many flavors.

What’s worse: replacing the Shabat with Sunday or imposing a thousand meaningless restrictions upon the seventh day, supplanting the Towrah with the New Testament or the Talmud, believing that “Jesus Christ” is the Son of God and the Messiah or repressing the realization that Yahowsha’ served as the Passover Lamb and that Dowd is the Son of God and Messiah?

What’s worse: believing that there is no God or establishing the Lord as God? Do you think Yahowah is bothered more by those who claim He does not exist or by those who confuse Him for Satan? What do you suppose He finds more offensive: being identified with a star or the image of a dead god on a stick? Is the Jewish corruption of Pesach and Matsah worse than the Christian opposition to them?

Kalah reveals that Yahowah is promising to put an end to the communal defiance and religious rebellion of His people – eliminating these things. For God to enjoy our company, for the Earth to become like ‘Eden, and for heaven to be joyful, there must be a place and time where the choice to rebel and to be revolting no longer exists.

526In context, the fulfillments of the first four Mow’ed in year 4000 Yah laid the foundation for this result. They provide a second chance for God’s people. And that makes Kipurym the final opportunity for eternal life, perfection, adoption, and enrichment for Yahuwdym. Through Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah, it is now possible to reconcile the relationship on Kipurym.

While there is no Kipurym without the prior fulfillment of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah, as well as Taruw’ah, in that the message must be shared for it to resonate sufficiently to draw an audience, the fact remains that everything on Dowd’s initial list will occur in year 6000 Yah with Kipurym, not 4000 Yah with Pesach. And this means that the one being anointed a fourth time is Dowd – either him or the Mercy Seat.

Pesha’ serves to demonstrate a crucial aspect of human nature. It is “punishment which fits the crime,” especially in association with “institutional, societal, and national guilt born of rebellion.” This axiom undergirds most justice systems: commit a crime, do the time. Consequence and responsibility are the underpinnings of morality. And what is true in the here and now is also viable in the hereafter, although the consequences are more enduring. Yahowah is fair, so there will be recompense. Those who have misled His people, harming them, will be held accountable. Therefore, Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym to celebrate Sukah will be more than a Day of Reconciliations and time to Camp Out, because 45 days of Judgment will follow – thereby bringing an end to religious rebellion.

The second statement of purpose has been and will continue to be fulfilled in increments. It began with the Towrah serving as the la chatam chata’ah | signed document which seals up the guilt associated with being wrong and missing the way. Through the benefits of the Covenant and by acting to fulfill Passover, UnYeasted 527Bread, Firstborn Children, and the Promise of Seven, Yahowah attested to the authenticity of His Towrah.

However, as was the case with the first of these six statements of purpose, while the groundwork was laid to remedy the persistent encroachment of religion and politics upon Yisra’el in year 4000 Yah with the fulfillment of the first four Miqra’ey, this prophecy would not actually be fulfilled until the Day of Reconciliations in year 6000 Yah. That is when Yahowah will place His Towrah inside of the Covenant’s children while writing His name on our hearts.

Chata’ah is typically translated as either “sin” or “guilt.” However, since it is derived from chata’, it is more accurately depicted as “missing the way” or “going astray.” To be chata’ah is to be “misled” and “wrong” about God. As such, chata’ah is caused by religion – the lone institution responsible for mass deception regarding the Almighty.

This brings us to the third statement of purpose, one which also directs our attention to Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah. God promised la kaphar ‘awon | to provide reconciliation for the perverse distortions associated with religious corruptions. Relative to Yisra’el, kaphar | restoration of the relationship is the prime objective. This is the verb which explains the purpose of the Day of Reconciliations. Kaphar also sits at the heart of the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. And both the Mercy Seat and this Miqra’ are irrevocably linked to Dowd’s return with his Father.

The Covenant was broken by Yisra’el, so for God’s people to return to fellowship, the relationship must be reconciled – which is to be made harmonious again. The wrongs will have to be pardoned and forgiven, atoned and annulled.

The interesting thing about Kipurym is that unlike the other six Mow’ed which serve Yahuwdym and Gowym – 528the Day of Reconciliations is intended for Yisra’el. This denotes the day when God’s people are reunited with one another and with Yahowah. A remnant will recognize Yahowah at long last and greet Him by name as He returns to Yaruwshalaim.

Therefore, Kipurym meets all of the previous criteria: it will occur on a predetermined date, it is for God’s people, it will materialize in Jerusalem, it will bring an end to religious rebellion, and it is the day Yahowah will place His towrah | guidance and signature within His people such that they will never again go astray or wander away from Him. And this means that the Messiah is speaking of his return.

Yisra’el broke the Beryth by promoting “‘awon – perverse corruptions” of the truth. They went from right to wrong, liberated to servitude, enriched to impoverished, life to death, vindicated to condemned. ‘Awon depicts a precipitous fall because there is nothing more damaging to our relationship with God than trafficking in that which is inaccurate and untrustworthy. Far worse than ignoring Yahowah’s testimony is corrupting and perverting it, bending and twisting it, because doing so conceals the truth and provides false hope.

If you open a lexicon to kaphar, the first thing you are likely to read would be “to make atonement.” But that is a religious term, meaning “to make reparation to atone for sin.” As noted earlier, God has no interest in us begging for forgiveness because He has already facilitated our reconciliation – ending the prolonged divorce.

There is a secondary connotation to kaphar which begins to make sense when viewed in association with the work of the Ruwach Qodesh. On four occasions, including the Miqra’ of Kipurym, we are invited to approach the maternal manifestation of Yah’s light – the Set-Apart Spirit. Her intent is to “kaphar – cover us” in a Garment of 529Light.

In this way, kaphar is similar to being anointed, which also means “to coat or cover.” This correlation is significant because Dowd | David, as the exemplar of the Covenant, was anointed both with oil and by the Ruwach, symbolically demonstrating what God has planned for His children.

Moving to the fourth of six prophetic promises offered in association with seventy sevens, Yahowah stands ready to correct the consequence of pesha’, chata’ah, and ‘awon by la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam | arriving with and bringing that which is eternally right, correct, accurate, and honest, thereby attaining everlasting vindication. Now that the relationship has been reconciled, Our Heavenly Father wants to surround us with that which is accurate and true, honest and reliable. He wants our relationship to be perfect and enduring. And for this to occur, He is committed to writing His Towrah | Guidance inside of us. We will have perfect and unencumbered access to the truth forevermore.

As we move past the first three promises to the fourth, we transition from Yahowah righting wrongs to wanting us to be right. Having rid the world of religion, He is celebrating our perfection. Having returned to ‘Eden, all is good again between God and man.

The fifth statement of purpose is one that the religious can neither fathom nor accept. There were only two prophets after this pronouncement – Zakaryah and Mal’aky. Therefore, Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Confident Individual revealed that all of this would la chatam chazown wa naby’ | provide a personal seal and signature to the documentation and authenticity which curtails the flow of communication from God through the prophets.

There are those who would consider Yahowsha’ and his Disciple Yahowchanan | John to be prophets. However, 530with the possible exception of the Teaching on the Mount and the Olivet Discourse, we know very little of what Yahowsha’ said. Unlike every other prophet, he wrote nothing down. We don’t have a Hebrew accounting of anything he may have said. We are reliant upon highly variant Greek translations written in Egypt a century or more after the fact. And they have been so poorly retained that there are more errors than words. Even worse, most of what is attributed to “Jesus Christ” is hearsay, compiled by Greeks who were nowhere to be seen during the time he served.

Substantial portions of the Christian New Testament were compiled in the 4^th century by the Roman Catholic Church to justify its existence through Replacement Theology. Therefore, should Yahowsha’ have been more than the Passover Lamb, he failed as a prophet because he wrote nothing down which has been retained for us to read.

As for Yahowchanan, there is very little if anything useful or new in Revelation. The parts which are reliable are paraphrases of the actual prophets such as Dany’el, Yasha’yah, Yirma’yah, Yachezq’el, and Zakaryah. Revelation, itself, like the “Gospel of John,” fails Yahowah’s Towrah test regarding His inspiration.

The continuous flow of revelations from Yahowah through His prophets, beginning with Moseh circa 1450 BCE would conclude 1000 years thereafter with Mal’aky circa 450 BCE. There would be no more.

However, Yahowah was not done fulfilling prophecy. He would act in year 4000 Yah to honor His promises relative to the first four Miqra’ey and then again in year 6000 Yah to enable the benefits of the final two Mow’ed. In so doing, He provided the final seal attesting to the validity of His witness.

The sixth provision is intriguing. Gabry’el | God’s Most Effective Man and His Anointed said, “wa la 531mashach qodesh qodesh – and to anoint the Most Set Apart.” He was speaking of himself and of the Mercy Seat within Yahowah’s Home. Mashach conveys the idea of “dedicating a person or object for service, setting him or it apart through the process of anointing.” To “anoint” addresses “covering the person or object with olive oil” – although sometimes it can be symbolically accomplished with water or blood depending upon the occasion, object, and purpose. This liquid can be applied in a variety of ways, from “spreading to smearing, from rubbing to sprinkling.”

Olive oil is symbolic in its own right. It served as the purest source of light in the ancient world. Light conveys Yahowah’s timeless nature, His energy, and the enlightenment He provides. Therefore, to be anointed in olive oil is to be covered in Yahowah’s Spirit of Light. This symbolism suggests that the Anointed will manifest Yahowah’s nature to enlighten us.

Olive oil was also rubbed on wounds to promote healing, a metaphor for salvation. It was an important part of a healthy diet, consistent with the nurturing nature of the Set-Apart Spirit. Olive oil was used symbolically throughout the Miqra’ey harvests. It was poured over fine grain, representing saved souls, and either sent aloft by way of a wave offering or fire. This provided a visual picture of what happens to us when we are anointed by the Set-Apart Spirit.

Also, when it comes to la mashach qodesh qodesh, it is helpful to know that Messiah is from Mashyach, a derivative of mashach. So if we were to consider the man most set apart unto Yahowah, the man most anointed by Yahowah, the man who is irrefutably ha Mashyach | the Messiah, our attention is drawn to Dowd | David.

This insight becomes especially relevant because there is a place which is also qodesh qodesh | most set apart – 532and that is the innermost chamber of Yahowah’s Home. This is the location of the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. And as we discovered in Mow’ed | Appointments volume of Yada Yahowah, when ha Mashyach Dowd returns with Yahowah, he will anoint the Mercy Seat with a smattering of blood, honoring the Towrah’s prescription for reconciliation during Yowm Kipurym.

The most qodesh of the Miqra’ey is actually Chag Matsah. Inclusive of Pesach and Bikuwrym, it was also the most difficult and painful to fulfill. It would necessitate Yahowsha’s body serving as the Lamb, then Yahowah’s soul, set apart from Him, being sent to the place separated from Him as the redeeming sacrifice. Throughout, the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit would serve as the prime facilitator, conveying Yahowah’s nepesh to and from She’owl during Matsah. These aspects of qodesh | being set apart at work during the fulfillment of Chag Matsah may warrant the dual application of qodesh qodesh.

However, Kipurym is also qodesh, as is Dowd who will be fulfilling it. And therefore, collectively, they are the qodesh qodesh | the most set apart. This will be especially so upon Dowd’s return. During Kipurym, the Mashyach will reestablish Yahowah’s Home with his words, placing it above the current location of the original Ark of the Covenant. Then Dowd will enter the Qodesh Qodesh and mashach | anoint the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat, facilitating the Towrah’s promise to restore Yahowah’s Family.

This will be the King’s crowning achievement. He will fulfill the final chathak | decree made on behalf of God’s people, doing so within his city. Poetically, profoundly, and prophetically, this will all occur in concert with shabuwa’ym shib’iym | the promise of a second enriching and empowering, emancipating and enlightening Shabuw’ah, one for the original beneficiaries of Chag Matsah and the second for tomorrow’s attendees at 533Kipurym.

Every promise Yahowah has made to Yisra’el through the seven Miqra’ey will be fulfilled as God’s reunified family stands beside the King as he rids the Earth of Yisra’el’s foes. Simultaneously, his Father will restore the planet so that we can Sukah | Camp Out together. The seven days of Shelters will then lead us into the final Shabat – the seventh millennium. Chag Matsah and Kipurym will work in harmony to produce the ultimate Shabuw’ah | Promise of the Shabat as Yisra’elites are emancipated, enriched, empowered, and enlightened – the vow of seven sevens fulfilled.

In this way, everything qodesh will be tsedeq | right again, including the ‘Am of Yisra’el, Yahuwdah and Yaruwshalaim, occurring ‘al Mowryah with the restoration of the Beyth for the Beryth through the Towrah and Miqra’ey so that we can enjoy the Shabat.

Therefore, the most set-apart individual, the man most frequently anointed, is returning to anoint the qodesh Kaporeth in the only qodesh qodesh place on Earth during the qodesh Miqra’ of Kipurym. That is too many qodesh to ignore. And therefore, the fulfillment of Chag Matsah with its wealth of qodesh designations in year 4000 Yah is what will enable the celebration of the Miqra’ of Kipurym with the Mashyach in year 6000 Yah.

Relative to the idea of being qodesh in this setting, there are three amazing references in the 89^th Mizmowr – with the entire Psalm written to affirm that the mashach qodesh qodesh is God’s beloved son, our returning Shepherd, Messiah, and King, Dowd | David. So with the tenth chapter, To Dowd or not to Dowd, of Coming Home devoted to painting the portrait of the man speaking to us on this occasion, a summation of its highlights will be added to the conclusion of this chapter. And along with it, we will be all the wiser to reconsider 2^ndShamuw’el 7 in 534light of what we have just read.

Before we move on to the next statement, I’d like to explain where we have just been. Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Courageous Man said…

“The many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with the vows pertaining to the things Seven represents (shabuwa’ym shib’iym) are determined and decreed, divided out and planned (chathak) on behalf of your people, the extended family (‘al ‘am ‘atah), and upon your set-apart city and its distinctly uncommon inhabitants (wa ‘al ‘iyr qodesh ‘atah) to bring an end to the religious rebellion, eliminating the revolting communal defiance and contrarian views (la kalah ha pesha’), to affix the signature which seals up the guilt associated with having missed the way, precluding ever being wrong again (wa la chatham chata’owth), to provide reconciliation for religious error, purging the perverse corruptions and twisted perversions (wa la kaphar ‘awon), to arrive with and bring that which is eternally right, always correct, forever accurate and honest, thereby attaining everlasting deliverance and vindication (wa la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation, confirming and completing these communications (wa la chatham chazown wa naby’), and to prophecy (wa naby’ – to the prophet), while also anointing the Most Set Apart (wa la mashach qodesh qodesh).” (Dany’el 9:24)

This is Dowd’s story, explaining why he was empowered and enriched, enlightened and enabled to fulfill the decree Yahowah had made to his people through the seven Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out. With his arrival in Yaruwshalaim during Kipurym, he will bring an end to religious rebellion and contrarian views. With him serving as our shepherd and counselor, God’s people will never stray again. With the relationship reconciled on this 535occasion, Yisra’el will be right forevermore, always correct and thus eternally vindicated. This is the summation of all prophecy, with the fruition of God’s promises occurring the moment Dowd anoints the Mercy Seat of the Covenant within the Qodesh Qodesh of God’s Home on Yowm Kipurym.

And in this light, shabuwa’ym shib’iym represents the seventy centuries of the seven Miqra’ey which encompass the rich history of God’s relationship with mankind.

Moving on, I suspect that you will be surprised as I was by what follows….

“Therefore (wa), know (yada’ – it is beneficial for you to be aware by coming to possess the information required to recognize (qal imperfect jussive)) and gain the insights to understand (wa sakal – realizing that the best option is for you to be prudent after learning, succeeding and prospering by being attentive, properly educated, intelligent, and wise, perceiving (hifil imperfect jussive)) that from (min) the going forth of the word (mowtsa’ dabar – the stage being set to begin the process in accord with the message) to return to restore (shuwb – to bring back to its original state), rebuilding (wa la banah – and reestablishing), Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Teaching and Guidance on Reconciliation) until the restoring testimony and eternal witness (‘ad – up to, as far as, for an extension of time to become victorious and receive the spoils evidenced by the witness) of the son of the Sovereign who is conspicuously making this known, and who will provide the leadership and counsel (nagyd – of the one who has officially obtained the status of being properly appointed, and who has expounded upon, announced, and proclaimed the message) of the Mashyach | the anointed Messiah (mashyach – the one who is set apart, anointed, and prepared to serve as authorized) are seven sevens (shabuwa’ym shiba’ah – are seven promises and contractual vows fulfilled in harmony with the 536promises of Shabuw’ah over seven periods of seven weeks).

Furthermore (wa), in sixty-two weeks (shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym – based upon the promise of seven, in sixty and two weeks), she will be restored (shuwb – she will return and recover), and rebuilt to reestablish (wa banah – she will develop and fortify) the way to grow and expand (rachob – opening the way by expanding where people can congregate; from rachab – to grow larger and expand) by being diligent and decisive (wa charuwts – by becoming sharper, more determined, increasingly judgmental, separated and defensive) in a troubled time of oppression (wa ba tsowq ha ‘ets – during a period of anguishing subjugation, restrictions, constraints, and persecution, being harassed and pushed into a corner; from tsuwq – to constrain and oppress).” (Daniel / My God is Judgmental / Daniel 9:25)

Gabry’el | God’s Most Confident and Capable, Courageous and Combative Man, the Almighty’s exceptionally proficient and powerful defender, an exemplar of character who confirms the truth, a particularly strong and resolute person who is aggressive and confrontational, a fighter who prevails with Almighty God, prefaced his prophecy with yada’ and shakal. That is to say, by prudently processing this information, we will gain the insights needed to understand.

We have given a starting point, one we will track down in a moment, pertaining to the announcement to return and restore Yaruwshalaim. However, what follows is initially addressing Dowd, the man who built Jerusalem into the City of David 3,000 years ago. He was the most prolific source of restoring testimony found within Yahowah’s eternal witness. Moreover, Dowd is the nagyd | Son of the Sovereign. He is the most conspicuous of Yisra’el’s leaders and the most profuse counselor. He is also the preeminent Mashyach, having been anointed three times on 537Yahowah’s instruction.

Regarding Dowd, and his counsel and leadership as the Messiah, he will be restoring Yaruwshalaim upon his return. And once again the timing, if we are to read it as such, is predicated upon shabuwa’ym shiba’ah | seven promises and contractual vows fulfilled in harmony with Shabuw’ah over seven periods of seven weeks.

Shabuw’ah, indeed. While Dowd will soon return to fulfill Kipurym, and then serve as the King of Sukah, the Son of God embodies Bikuwrym and is the product of Shabuw’ah – which occurs seven weeks later. He is Yahowah’s Bikuwr | Firstborn, the foremost beneficiary of Shabuw’ah | Seven Sevens. Yahowah has overtly empowered and enriched, enlightened and enabled Dowd.

This known, something special was going to occur in Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance Regarding Reconciliation in 7 + 62 weeks of years from the pronouncement to return. But the result has nothing to do with buildings, plazas, broad avenues, defensive walls, or moats, as other translators will claim. When we turn to the verbal root of the words Dowd selected, we discover that what is going to be shuwb | restored and banah | established is rachob | the way to grow and expand by charuwts | being diligent and decisive. What is being foretold is the fulfillment of the first four Miqra’ey in year 4000 Yah because they provide the benefits of the Covenant – the means to grow and expand – for those who are diligent and decisive regarding the terms of acceptance.

We also learn that this will occur ba tsowq ha ‘ets | in a troubling time of oppression, of anguishing subjugation, restrictions, and constraints. Dowd is speaking of Yahuwdym being persecuted and harassed by Imperial Rome and then pushed into a corner and confined by her Church.

While I’m anxious to do the math and verify the result, 538rather than interrupt the conclusion of this prophecy, let’s table the arithmetic until after we have listened to all Dowd has to share. After all, Dowd knew what was going to happen to himself and his people, and he warned us about it, and nonetheless, we allowed it to occur. Shame on us…

“And after (wa ‘achar – then at another time, following this in the end) the sixty-two weeks (ha shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym – based upon the promise of seven, in sixty and two weeks), the Anointed Messiah (mashyach – the one who was chosen, authorized, and anointed by God) will be cut down and uprooted to establish a covenant (karath – will be severed from the source and banished, removed and replaced to cut another agreement with stipulations (nifal imperfect – this will be done to him on an ongoing basis)), but not for himself (wa ‘ayn la huw’ – such that he is negated and replaced, his life for naught).

Then (wa) the people and nation (‘am – the army and institution) of the commanding officer and supreme leader who is making copious announcements and prolific declarations (nagyd – the absolute ruler conspicuously avowing, publishing, and confessing his message in your face) who is to come (ha bow’ – who will arrive (qal participle)) will attempt to corrupt and destroy (shachath – will seek to ruin and render useless, castrate and cast off, annihilating (hifil imperfect)) the city (ha ‘iyr – the largest population center) and the Set Apart (wa ha qodesh – those and that which are separated and distinct, uncommon and devoted, both as individuals and as a Sanctuary).

And (wa) its end, and his (qets huw’ – this completion of a duration of time to be chopped down and torn asunder (note: ‘iyr, qodesh, ‘am, and nagyd are all masculine singular and could be addressed by huw’)) outrageousness, will be wiped away by an overpowering force (ha sheteph – overbearing nature will be 539overwhelmed and inundated).

Also, to the very last moment (wa ‘ad qets – as far as the completion of this duration of time to chop off and tear asunder), it is certain (charats – it will be determined and decreed, spoken about and decided upon) that there will be devastating and desolating (shamem – destructive and ruinous, wasteful and astonishing, appalling and horrifying) war (milchamah – a state of constant and continuous fighting).” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Decide between Vindication and Condemnation / Daniel 9:26)

The first sentence and the last three are only tangentially related, so since they should not have been combined, let’s separate them.

As we discovered in the previous statement, at a time certain, 62 weeks of years after Yaruwshalaim is rebuilt, taking us forward in time to year 4000 Yah, or 33 CE, Yahowah was going to restore and reestablish the means for His children to grow should they be diligent and decisive while being oppressed by Imperial Rome. He did so by fulfilling the first four Mow’ed Miqra’ey, providing the benefits of the Covenant. However, after this time, the Roman Church, based upon Paul’s letters, would replace the Anointed Messiah to establish a new covenant. They would position “Jesus Christ” as the Son of God and the Messiah instead of Dowd | David, the man to whom Yahowah chose to receive both titles. Christianity’s New Testament is the result.

So this, rather than announcing the arrival of a Christian Messiah, who would die, but not for himself, says just the opposite. The actual Mashyach whom Yahowah anointed was removed and replaced to cut an entirely different agreement such that the promises God had made to him were abrogated to accommodate the emerging Church. The greatest life ever lived, Gabry’el | God’s Most 540Capable and Confident Individual, would be for naught – tossed aside to make the upstart religion possible. How’s that for unexpected but also profoundly important? The lone justification for calling “Jesus” the “Christ” has been negated, eliminating the claims made by Christians.

Paul and his Roman Church have conspired to corrupt and destroy Yahowah’s city and people. The ultimate expression of their desire will be manifest in the supreme leader who is to come. Verbose and authoritarian, his pronouncements and military interventionism will seek to negate and nullify Yaruwshalaim and Yahuwdym – even the remnant who have become Covenant.

Since both are true, we can see the Towrahless One as outrageous and overpowering and we can view Dowd overwhelming him in the end. But until that time, the world will be engulfed in war, devastating and desolating conflict. It will be so destructive and ruinous, indeed, astonishing, appalling, and horrifying that the prophet is predicting nuclear conflagration.

In this way, Yahowah is using the past to prepare His people for the future. Just as Yahuwdym were given the opportunity to recognize the Passover Lamb and the fulfillment of Chag Matsah during a troublesome time, so it will be in the end. Yahuwdym are being afforded one final opportunity to accept what Yahowah is doing for them with the arrival of the Messiah to enable the promise of Kipurym during the Time of Trouble.

But before the world goes up in smoke, a monstrous and demonic beast will gabar beryth | confirm and strengthen a prevailing agreement, affirming his covenant ha rabym | with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and numerous among the elite. This is an ode to the “Two-State Solution” or, as I refer to it, “The Final Solution.” He will impose the conditions of UN Resolution 242, thereby certifying 541Israel’s destruction.

What follows affirms what we have long known. While the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles will begin in the fall of 2026 and last 7 years, the worst of it will transpire during the last 3½ years – starting with Passover in 2030. The Shabat will be outlawed while celebrating Yahowah’s Pesach and Matsah sacrifices will become illegal such that God’s gift will seem out of reach. It is the most abhorrent and appalling of abominations, a monstrous religious edict designed to stun and stupefy people far and wide – sent out on a wing and a prayer. Robbed of their ability to be perceptive and think critically, the preponderance of people will die. And it will all happen quickly and decisively, paralyzing a world too traumatized to respond appropriately.

“And therefore (wa), he will confirm the prevailing (gabar – he will strengthen and empower, then triumph by imposing a self-aggrandizing and overbearing) covenant, an agreement and arrangement (beryth – a treaty, contractual compact, and binding pledge) with a great many (la ha rabym – including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and with numerous among the elite) for one week and based upon a single promise (‘echad shabuwa’).

But halfway through the week (wa chatsy shabuwa’ – at the midpoint of the seven years), he will stop the observance of the Shabat (shabath), the sacrifice (zebach), and the gift of an allocation (minchah).

Upon such an extreme act (wa ‘al kanaph – upon a flight to the far extremity of being separated and distant, this wing) of repulsive abominations and monstrous religious idolatry (shiquwtsym – of vile and repulsive edicts, detestable and abhorrent acts), which will astonish and desolate, incapacitate and mortify (shamem – stun and stupefy), there is an inability to be perceptive so that 542most will perish (wa ‘ad kalah – a great longing with all-encompassing anxiety, ushering in complete and utter destruction while many die).

It will occur quickly and decisively, with determination and decrees (wa charats – it is certain and decided) profusely poured out (natak – being brought forth and expressed without restraint) upon the astonished and stupefied, who will perish because they are too stunned to respond (‘al shamem – upon the devastated and destitute, the estranged and ravaged who are horrified and dismayed).” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Judge / Daniel 9:27)

And on that happy note, we conclude the 9^th chapter of Dany’el. It is as bad as bad ever gets.

Now that we have listened to all Dowd had to say, it’s time to fill in some of the gaps. And first among them is to return to the math itself. In this regard, it is helpful to know that a prophetic year isn’t equivalent to a solar year. And so to ascertain the number of days in “sixty-two weeks” of years, we should adjust our measurements to Yah’s prophetic process. This consists of twelve months of 30 days – not the 365.242 to which we are accustomed.

This duration of time also differed from the Babylonian method because they observed a luni-solar year which added an intercalary month every five to six years to prevent the shifting of seasons. They were aware that the solar year was 365¼ days long, but a lunar calendar remained the only practical timekeeping device before mass communication and mechanics. A luni-solar system gave everyone a reliable means to “set their clocks.” Every renewed moon marked the start of a new month.

The Jews used a different method with the same result. An intercalary month was added based on barley, the first grain to rise in the spring. Fruit harvested in the suburbs of Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem was tested as they approached 543the nearest renewed moon to the vernal equinox. If the grain was green and growing, still laden with water, it would dance in a hot pan placed above an open fire. In that case, the next renewing moon would designate the beginning of a new year. However, since this could lead to confusion over centuries of time, with no way to predict one year to the next in advance, the length of a prophetic year – 360 days – was established in Bare’syth / Genesis, where events related to the flood are given in both days and years.

The date of the “word which came forth to restore and rebuild Jerusalem” is presented in Nachemyah / Nehemiah. There we read…

“And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when…I [Nachemyah]…said to the king, ‘If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Yahuwdah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.’ …So it pleased the king to send me.” (Nachemyah / Yah Comforts / Nehemiah 2:1-6)

Now that archeologists have discovered and translated thousands of cuneiform tablets from the ruins of Babylon, we have come to learn that Artaxerxes was not able to assume the throne until 464 BCE. That would make the twentieth year of his reign, and thus the starting date of Dany’el’s | Daniel’s prophecy, the 1^st of ‘Abyb / Nisan, 444 BCE.

So, from the ‘Abyb 1, 444 BCE date, we must add 7 weeks of years (49 prophetic years) until Yaruwshalaim would be rebuilt. Then there would be another 62 weeks (434 prophetic years) for a total of 483 years until the one miscast by the Romans, but yet authorized by God, would fulfill Pesach.

To calculate his arrival then, we must multiply 483 (49 544+ 434) years by the 360 days in the Towrah’s prophetic calendar. This equals 173,880 days, or 476 solar years plus an additional 24 days, which we should then add to our starting date in 444 BCE. Since there was no year zero in the Julian or Gregorian calendars, the addition of 173,880 days to ‘Abyb 1, 444 BCE sets his arrival on Monday, March 28, 33 CE (Gregorian), Monday, March 30, 33 CE (Julian), the 10^th of ‘Abyb on the Hebrew calendar – the very day the Passover Lamb was to arrive that year.

What has been lost on so many is how exquisitely the detail of the prophecy matched its fulfillment. Yahowsha’s entry into Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem coincided with the day the paschal lamb would have been brought into the household, on the tenth day of ‘Abyb, when, just as they had in Chazaqyah | Hezekiah’s time, large crowds had gathered in Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation. He lived and walked among the people. They got to know him. And as the sun set, and the fourteenth day of ‘Abyb began, he observed the Passover feast with his disciples, even telling them that they should remember the role he would play to fulfill the promise.

Yahowsha’s sacrifice corresponded perfectly with the designated time of the sacrifice. It was just before sunset on the fourteenth day of ‘Abyb that he surrendered his mortal body and Yahowah’s Spirit.

The prophecy of the first Miqra’ | Invitation to be Called Out and Meet of Pesach | Passover was fulfilled literally, right down to the last detail. There should have been no mistaking what he had done – at least for those who “darash – consistently seek to know Yahowah, who read the Towrah to find the way to Him, who ponder the implications of the relationship He intended by diligently studying the Prophets.”

Showing our appreciation for what Yahowah has done, we should answer His invitation and observe the 545Miqra’ of Pesach, keeping this appointment with Yahowah. The 14^th day of ‘Abyb is not difficult to establish. Passover is marked by the full moon closest to the spring equinox.

We should observe Pesach | Passover by seeking to understand the intent of Yahowah’s instructions, doing as much of what the Towrah teaches as possible. This Chag | Feast should be celebrated with Yisra’el and the Covenant Family in mind. The menu is roasted lamb and unyeasted bread with olive oil and bitter herbs, consistent with that of the first celebrants.

While we are reminiscing over the promise of life eternal, we can focus on what occurred during the first Passover as Yahowah presents His story in Shemowth / Exodus 12 and 13. Then qara’ | read the prophecies in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 53 and Mizmowr / Psalms 22 and 88 – all of which are translated for your benefit within these volumes. They speak vividly of God’s intent and provisions for His People, Yisra’el, and for His Beryth | Covenant Family.

It is also instructive to contemplate the “coming leader” and his people, nations, institutions, and army. Should this be prophetic of Vespasian and Titus, using them as a harbinger of the Towrahless One, then we can examine the source of the Legions which were used to destroy the temple in 70 CE. These included the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris under the command of the future Emperors Vespasian and his son, Titus. And as an interesting comparison between good and evil, the precious metals contained in Yahowah’s Temple were used to fund the construction of the Colosseum in Rome – the ultimate showcase for all that ails humankind.

Since it is possible to extrapolate from the text that the “people” who destroyed the city and temple are “of the coming leader,” it behooves us to probe a little deeper if we 546want to know the country or region from which the Beast will emerge. Therefore, I have provided this quick historical review of the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris Legions.

Beginning with the V Macedonica, it was created by Octavian in 43 BCE. As the name implies, it was originally stationed in Macedonia, the home of Alexander the Great. Its symbol was the bull, identifying its spiritual allegiance. Around 6 CE, the V Legion was moved slightly northeast to Moesia, the Roman Province situated in the Balkans along the south bank of the Danube. This included the territories of the modern-day Republic of North Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Southern Moldova, and the Black Sea coastal region of Romania.

In 66 CE, Nero assigned the Macedonica Legion to Titus Flavius Vespasianus to counter the revolt in the Iudaea Province. After Galilee surrendered without a fight, the V^th conquered the Samaritans before camping in Emmaus, where tombstones dedicated to Macedonian soldiers remain to this day. Then after Nero’s suicide, and the proclamation of Vespasian as emperor, his son, Titus, concluded the final siege and utter destruction of the city and temple. The Macedonian Legion returned home, eventually falling under the command of Emperor Hadrian. Ultimately the V^th Legion would be incorporated into the Byzantine army. But it is safe to say that its “people” at the time designated in the prophecy were principally Macedonians under the control of Rome.

The XII Fulminata Legion, whose emblem was the thunderbolt, was created by Julius Caesar in 58 BCE. He deployed it during the Gallic wars. Sixty years later, the XII^th was dispatched to guard the Euphrates River crossing near Melitene, in what is today Eastern Turkey. Six hundred years before Muhammad and his creation of Islam, and twelve hundred years before the Mongol subjugation of Anatolia gave rise to the Ottoman Empire, 547this region was populated by Assyrians and Kurds. It was a hotly contested swath of earth along a great river at the intersection of Asia, Africa, and Europe, a land that was controlled over the centuries by the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and then Romans. But eventually the Byzantines, Ottomans, and Turks would claim dominion – oppressing both Armenians and Kurds in the process.

The Fulminata Legion’s most famous battle was Caesar’s campaign against Pompey and the Roman Senate in Pharsalus, Greece in 48 BCE during the Roman Civil War. It was by way of the XII^th that General Julius Caesar defeated the Roman Republic. A century later in 58 CE, the XII^th Legion was used by Nero to defeat the Parthians, restoring Armenia to Roman control. But just four years later, the Fulminata was defeated by the Parthians and Armenians and forced to retreat from the region.

Then in 66 CE, after the Zealot revolt had destroyed the Roman garrison in Jerusalem, the XII^th Legion was sent to retaliate. But it was immediately rejected by Gaius Gallus, the Legatus of Syria, when he saw that the XII^th Legion was too weak to fight. Proving him right, while marching out of the region, the Legion was ambushed and defeated by the Galilean Zealot Eleazar ben Simon at Beit-Horon (named after a Canaanite deity) in Yisra’el. However, the XII^th would be reformed and rearmed, ultimately fighting so ruthlessly in support of Flavius Vespasian in the war, its soldiers avenged their defeat and facilitated their general’s successful bid for the imperial throne. To a large degree, this fateful outcome occurred because the Jews were divided as various religious parties, landlords, and warlords vied for power.

After the destruction of the city and its temple, the Fulminata Legion was briefly sent back to guard the Euphrates border at Melitene, before being reclaimed by Vespasian, this time in the Caucasus to support the allied 548kingdoms of Iberia and Albania. The XII^th was deployed by Trajan to annex Armenia. So the “people” marching under the banner of the Lightning Bolt were originally Romans who were gradually outnumbered by Assyrians and Kurds.

This brings us to the third Legion used to destroy Jerusalem: the XV Apollinaris. It also was recruited by Octavian. They bore the emblem of Apollo. The XV^th was initially deployed in Sicily but was garrisoned in Illyricum – a Roman Province which overlapped much of Macedonia and today’s Albania, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Kosovo. In 6 BCE, the Legion fought for Emperor Tiberius against the Marcomanni in Pannonia – a region that is now Southern Hungary, Eastern Austria, Northern Croatia, Northwestern Serbia, Slovenia, and Bosnia. The Apollinaris remained in this region, fighting in Carnuntum along the Danube not far from Vienna until it was deployed to Syria by Nero in 61 CE to battle the Parthians.

The XV^th Legion was sent to Alexandria briefly before engaging in the First Jewish Revolt. The XV Apollinaris defeated the towns of Jotapata in Northern Israel and Gamla in the Golan Heights. Under Titus’ command, they captured the Jewish traitor-turned-historian Josephus. Then after successfully suppressing the Jewish Revolt, the XV^th returned to Carnuntum along the shores of the Danube. Therefore, the “people” of Apollo were a blend of Macedonians, Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats.

Collectively then, Macedonians are the most prevalent among the “people of the coming leader.” But we cannot exclude Romans, Armenians, and Kurds or, to a lesser degree, completely discount the possibility of Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats. All together, this scenario fits beautifully with other revelations found in Dany’el which suggest that Satan’s destructive messenger will hail from the intersection of the areas conquered by Alexander of 549Macedonia and later controlled by Imperial Rome. While the ultimate bad boy of history might emerge from the Balkans, it is likely that the Beast will call Macedonia home before he rises up to influence three of the following: Greece, Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy, en route to beguiling the whole world to submit to his dictates.

Bringing this all together, the 9^th chapter of Dany’el opens by asking us to recalibrate our perspective on what is being revealed…

“In the first year of (ba shanah ‘echad la) Darius (Daryawesh), the son of (ben) Xerxes (‘Achashwerowsh), a descendant of (min zera’) Maday (Maday), who (‘asher) reigned as king over (malak ‘al malkuwth) the Chaldeans (Kasdym), (Dany’el 9:1) in the first year of his reign (ba shanah ‘echad la malak huw’), I (‘any), Dany’el (Dany’el), by being perceptive and discriminating, came to understand (byn) in (ba) the written scrolls (ha sepher) that the number of years (misphar ha shanah) which will transpire (‘asher hayah) in the Word (dabar) of Yahowah (Yahowah) to (‘el) the Prophet (naby’) Yirma’yah (Yirma’yah) for the destruction (la charbah) of Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) to be fulfilled and completed (la male’) was seventy years (shibi’ym shanah). (Dany’el 9:2)

I offered myself (wa nathan ‘eth paneh ‘any) to the Almighty, my Lord and Upright One (‘edon ‘any ha ‘elohym), to request (la baqash) intervention and while pleading for intercession or to be set apart as discriminating (taphilah) while longing for a favorable outcome (wa tachanuwn), abstaining from food in coarse common clothing (ba tsowm wa saq) and humility (‘epher). (Dany’el 9:3)

So I chose to assess the situation and contemplate the implications because I sought a way to intervene 550that could be justified (wa palal) concerning and approaching (la) Yahowah (YaHoWaH), my God (‘elohym ‘any).

And I expressed my appreciation, acknowledging my familiarity with the factors associated with knowing (yadah). I said (wa ‘amar), ‘I think that this is vital (‘ana’), my Upright One (‘edon ‘any), Almighty God (ha ‘el), regarding the immensely important, especially intense, and mighty man (ha gadowl), who is respected (wa ha yare’) for having closely examined and carefully considered (shamar) the Covenant (ha beryth), and who demonstrates loyal love and devotion (wa ha chesed) to those who appreciate and prefer him (la ‘achab huw’), as well as for those who approach by observing (wa la shamar) the instructive conditions pertaining to what He has offered and expects in return (mitswah huw’). (Dany’el 9:4)

We have missed the way (chata’) and we are guilty of perverse corruptions and distortions (‘awah). We have violated the standard (wa rasa’) because (wa) we have rebelled (marad). We have turned away from (wa suwr min) the terms and conditions of Your relationship agreement (mitswah ‘atah) and also from (wa min) Your means to make informed and rational decisions regarding the way to justly resolve disputes (mishpat ‘atah). (Dany’el 9:5)

We have not listened to (wa lo’ shama’ ‘el) Your coworkers (‘ebed ‘atah), the prophets (ha naby’), who, to show the way to receive the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), communicated the Word (dabar) in Your name (ba shem ‘atah) to our leaders (melek ‘anachnuw), to our societal, military, and economic elite (sar ‘anachnuw), to our forefathers (‘ab ‘anachnuw), and also to all (wa ‘el kol) the people (‘am) of the Land (ha ‘erets). (Dany’el 9:6)

551Approaching You (la ‘atah) are those who are right (ha tsadaqah), but for us (wa la ‘anachnuw) is the presence of confusion and shame (bosheth ha paneh). It is the same to this day (ka ha yowm ha zeh) for the people of Yahuwdah (la ‘iysh Yahuwdah) and the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim (wa la yashab Yaruwshalaim), even for all Yisra’el (wa la kol Yisra’el), those who are nearby (ha qarowb) and those who are far away (wa ha rachowq) in all of the places (ba kol ha ‘erets) which You have scattered them (nadach hem sham) due to their disloyalty and their fraudulent claims (ba ma’al hem). This makes them untrustworthy and unreliable, as well as in violation of the agreement (‘asher ma’al) with You (ba ‘atah). (Dany’el 9:7)

Yahowah (Yahowah), on us (la ‘anachnuw) is the presence (paneh) of confusion and humiliation as a result of our improper attitude (bosheth ha paneh), from our political and religious authorities (melek ‘anachnuw) to our leaders’ representatives (wa la sar ‘anachnuw), as well as our forefathers (la ‘ab ‘anachnuw), because we have erred, missing the way (‘asher chata’) to approach You (la ‘atah). (Dany’el 9:8)

According to (la) my Lord and Upright One (‘edown ‘any), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), the exceedingly merciful (ha rachamym), compassionate, and forgiving (wa ha rachamym), indeed (ky), we have rebelled (marad) against Him (ba huw’). (Dany’el 9:9)

In addition (wa), we have not listened to (lo’ shama’) Yahowah’s (Yahowah), our God’s (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), voice (ba qowl) by having our steps guided by (la halak ba) His Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah huw’) which (‘asher) He provided (nathan) in our presence (la paneh ‘anachnuw) through the hand (ba yad) of His servants (‘ebed), the prophets (ha naby’). (Dany’el 9:10)

552And all (wa kol) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el) has passed over (‘abar) Your Towrah (‘eth Towrah ‘atah) and have turned away (wa suwr), refusing to listen (la bilty shama’) to the sound of Your voice (ba qowl ‘atah).

As a result (wa), the curse of Allah (‘alah) will be poured out (nathak) upon us (‘al ‘anachnuw) in addition to (wa) the sworn promise (ha shabuwa’) which (‘asher) was written (kathab) in the Towrah (ba Towrah) of Moseh (Mosheh), the one working with (‘ebed) the Almighty (ha ‘elohym), because (ky) we have been wrong and have missed the way (chata’) according to him (la huw’). (Dany’el 9:11)

He confirmed (wa quwm) with (‘eth) the words he revealed (dabar huw’), and which he spoke against us (‘asher dabar ‘al ‘anachnuw), in opposition to our judgment regarding our political and religious leaders (wa ‘al shaphat ‘anachnuw), who (‘asher) have ruled over us (shaphat ‘anachnuw), to bring (la bow’) great (gadowl) misery and suffering (ra’ah) upon us (‘al ‘anachnuw) which has not occurred (‘asher lo’ ‘asah) in any other place under (tachath) the whole of the heavens (kol ha shamaym) similar to what has and will occur (ka ‘asher ‘asah) in Yaruwshalaim (ba Yaruwshalaim). (Dany’el 9:12)

Consistent with what is written (ka ‘asher kathab) in the Towrah (ba Towrah) of Moseh (Mosheh), all of this suffering and misfortune (kol ‘eth ra’ah ha zo’th) has and will continue to come upon us (bow’ ‘al ‘anachnuw). And yet, we neither request nor seek (wa lo’ chalah) the presence of Yahowah, our God (‘eth paneh Yahowah ‘elohym ‘anachnuw).

We cannot return because we have not changed (lo’ shuwb) from (min) our depravity and corruptions (‘aown / ‘awon ‘anachnuw), and that is because they affect our ability to be prudent and thus understand 553(wa la sakal) the breadth of Your support and verifications of Your reliability (ba ‘emeth ‘atah). (Dany’el 9:13)

Therefore (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) was vigilant, and He did not hesitate (shaqad) to bring these difficult circumstances and consequences upon us (‘al ha ra’ah wa bow’ hy’ ‘al ‘anachnuw). Obviously (ky) Yahowah (Yahowah), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), is right (tsadyq) in everything He does (‘al kol ma’aseh huw’), including when He acts for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher ‘asah). Therefore, it is we who have not listened to Him speaking to us (wa lo’ shama’ ba qowl huw’). (Dany’el 9:14)

And so then (wa ‘atah), wanting to provide the benefits of the proper way (‘asher), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw) descended to withdraw (yatsa’) your people (‘eth ‘am ‘atah) from the land of subjugation by religious and political tyrants (min ‘erets Mitsraym) with a firm and unyielding, resolute and uncompromising hand (ba yad chazaq).

Since then (wa), you have made (‘asah) a reputation for yourself (la ‘atah shem) which is similar to today (ka ha yowm ha zeh). We have been mistaken and have gone astray (chata’), having condemned ourselves (rasha’). (Dany’el 9:15)

O my Lord and Upright One (‘edown ‘any), in a manner consistent with all that makes You worthy and right (ka kol tsadaqah ‘atah), withhold (shuwb na’) Your frustration (‘aph ‘atah) and Your displeasure and antagonism (wa chemah ‘atah) toward Your city, Jerusalem (min ‘iyr ‘atah Yaruwshalaim), Your Set-Apart Mountain (har qodesh har), even (ky) toward our offenses (ba chete’ ‘anachnuw) and our guilt (wa ba cheta’ ‘anachnuw), in addition to the misdeeds and religious perversity (wa ba ‘awon) of our ancestors (‘ab 554‘anachnuw).

Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem (Yaruwshalaim) and Your people (wa ‘am ‘atah) are dishonored and seen as contemptible (la cherphah) among all who surround us (la kol sabyb ‘anachnuw). (Dany’el 9:16)

This being so (wa ‘atah), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), choose to listen and be receptive (shama’) to this plea for intercession and desire to be set apart as discriminating (‘el taphilah) made by Your servant (‘ebed ‘atah), along with his longing for mercy and compassion (wa ‘el tachanuwn huw’), for the light of Your presence to shine (wa ‘owr paneh ‘atah) upon Your Set-Apart people and place (‘al miqdash ‘atah) for the benefit of the deserted (la ma’an shamem), my Lord (‘edown ‘any). (Dany’el 9:17)

My God (‘elohym ‘any), incline Your ear (natah ‘ozen ‘atah) and listen (wa shama’). Open Your eyes (paqach ‘any ‘atah) and see (wa ra’ah) our ravaged and deserted places (shamem ‘anachnuw) and the city (wa ha ‘iyr) which (‘asher) invites and calls out (qara’) in Your name (shem ‘atah ‘ah hy’).

However (ky), not upon our righteousness (‘al tsadaqah ‘anachnuw) because we would fail (naphal). Our plea for mercy (tachanuwn ‘anachnuw) in Your presence (la paneh ‘atah) is because of (ky ‘al) Your compassion (rachamym ‘atah) which is great (ha rab). (Dany’el 9:18)

My Lord (‘adony), I am emphatic in wanting You to listen (shama’). My Lord (‘adony), I am insistent and emotional in my appeal for You to remove the guilt and forgive (salach). My Lord (‘adony), on my own initiative, I believe that it is essential that You pay attention and become responsive (qashab) because it is vital that You act (wa ‘asah). Do not remain inactive, be hesitant, or delay and do not wait any longer or even do 555something different (‘al ‘achar) for Your own sake (la ma’an ‘atah), O my God (‘elohym ‘any), because indeed (ky), Your name (shem ‘atah) is called (qara’) over and above Your city (‘al ‘iyr ‘atah) and upon Your people (wa ‘al ‘am ‘atah).’ (Dany’el 9:19)

Then (wa) I was continually speaking (‘owd ‘any dabar) and pondering questions and contemplating their answers, while also making enquiries (wa palal) and (wa) expressing my gratitude over casting aside (yadah) my pardonable offenses for having missed the way (chata’ah ‘any) and the consequence of my people, Yisra’el, going astray (wa chata’ah ‘am ‘any Yisra’el), presenting (naphal) my earnest and humble request for favor and mercy, as well as to receive favorable treatment (tachinah) to approach the presence of (la paneh) Yahowah (YaHoWaH), my God (‘elohy), on (‘al) the set-apart (qodesh) mountain (har) of my God (‘elohy). (Dany’el 9:20)

While I was continuing to (wa ‘owd ‘any) converse, (dabar), pleading for intercession with the intent of being distinct and different (‘el taphilah), then (wa) the individual, this man, (ha ‘iysh), Gabry’el | God’s Most Confident and Capable, Courageous and Combative Individual (wa Gabry’el), whom, to reveal the proper path (‘asher), I had seen (ra’ah) during the initial prophetic revelation (ba ha chazown ba ha tachilah), offering advice while preoccupied with the destruction of existing militaries, maneuvering quickly between battles (ya’aph ba ya’aph), reached out to make contact with me (naga’ ‘el ‘any) around the time of the evening (ka ‘eth ‘ereb) offering, the apportionment which is bestowed as a gift (minchah). (Dany’el 9:21)

So (wa) he made the connections to encourage understanding (byn). He spoke with me (wa dabar ‘im ‘any), and he said (wa ‘amar), ‘Dany’el (Dany’el), now at this time in this sequence of events (‘atah), I have 556come forth (yatsa’) to provide insights and instruction which, if you are circumspect and considerate, will promote (la sakal ‘atah) understanding through discernment (bynah). (Dany’el 9:22)

In the beginning, the sickening and wearisome (ba tachilah) matter (dabar) of your desire for favors and your pleading for mercy (tachanuwn ‘atah) was brought up (yatsa’). So, I, myself, have come (wa ‘any) to conspicuously report an informative announcement, making this known (la nagad), because (ky) you are overly needy (chamadowth ‘atah). Therefore (wa), you will want to consider and understand after a diligent and systematic evaluation (byn) of this message (ba ha dabar), choosing to make the connections needed to comprehend (wa byn) what is being revealed (ba ha mar’eh). (Dany’el 9:23)

The many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with the vows pertaining to the things Seven represents (shabuwa’ym shib’iym) are determined and decreed, divided out and planned (chathak) on behalf of your people, the extended family (‘al ‘am ‘atah), and upon your set-apart city and its distinctly uncommon inhabitants (wa ‘al ‘iyr qodesh ‘atah) to bring an end to the religious rebellion, eliminating the revolting communal defiance and contrarian views (la kalah ha pesha’), to affix the signature which seals up the guilt associated with having missed the way, precluding ever being wrong again (wa la chatham chata’owth), to provide reconciliation for religious error, purging the perverse corruptions and twisted perversions (wa la kaphar ‘awon), to arrive with and bring that which is eternally right, always correct, forever accurate and honest, thereby attaining everlasting deliverance and vindication (wa la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation, confirming 557and completing these communications (wa la chatham chazown wa naby’), and to prophecy (wa naby’ – to the prophet), while also anointing the Most Set Apart (wa la mashach qodesh qodesh). (Dany’el 9:24)

Therefore (wa), know, because it is beneficial for you to be aware by coming to possess the information required to recognize reality (yada’) and gain the insights needed to understand, realizing that the best option is for you to be prudent after learning, succeeding and prospering by being attentive, properly educated, intelligent, and wise, perceiving (wa sakal) that from (min) the going forth of the word (mowtsa’ dabar) to return to restore (shuwb), reestablishing (wa la banah), Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Teaching and Guidance on Reconciliation (Yaruwshalaim) until the restoring testimony and eternal witness (‘ad) of the son of the Sovereign who is conspicuously making this known, and who will provide the leadership and counsel (nagyd) of the Mashyach | the anointed Messiah (mashyach) are seven sevens, and thus seven promises and fulfilled vows (shabuwa’ym shiba’ah).

Furthermore (wa), in sixty-two weeks (shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym), she will be restored (shuwb) and rebuilt to reestablish and fortify (wa banah) the way to grow and expand (rachob) by being diligent and decisive (wa charuwts) in a troubled time of oppression (wa ba tsowq ha ‘ets). (Daniel 9:25)

And after (wa ‘achar) the sixty-two weeks (ha shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym), the Anointed Messiah (mashyach) will be cut down and uprooted to establish a covenant, removed and exchanged in the new agreement (karath), but not for himself and such that he is negated and replaced, his life for naught (wa ‘ayn la huw’).

Then (wa) the people and nation, even the army 558(‘am) of the commanding officer and supreme leader who is making copious announcements and prolific declarations (nagyd) who is to come (ha bow’) will attempt to corrupt and destroy (shachath) the city (ha ‘iyr) and the Set Apart (wa ha qodesh).

And (wa) its end, and his (qets huw’) outrageousness, will be wiped away by an overpowering force (ha sheteph). And yet, to the very last moment (wa ‘ad qets), it is certain (charats) that there will be devastating and desolating (shamem) war (milchamah). (Dany’el 9:26)

Thereupon (wa), he will confirm the prevailing (gabar) covenant, this agreement and arrangement (beryth) with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and with numerous among the elite (la ha rabym), for one week and based upon a single promise (‘echad shabuwa’). But halfway through the week (wa chatsy shabuwa’), he will stop the observance of the Shabat (shabath), the sacrifice (zebach), and the gift of an allocation (minchah).

The most extreme aspect (wa ‘al kanaph) of the repulsive abomination and monstrous religious idolatry (shiquwtsym) will astonish and desolate, incapacitate and mortify (shamem) such that there is an inability to be perceptive, a great longing, and all-encompassing anxiety, even complete and utter destruction when most will perish (wa ‘ad kalah).

It will occur quickly and decisively, with determination and decrees (wa charats) profusely poured out (natak) upon the astonished and stupefied who will perish because they are too stunned to respond (‘al shamem).’” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Judge / Daniel 9:27)

559There are many scores of prophetic pronouncements which serve to affirm that Dany’el 9 was both orchestrated by Dowd and is descriptive of his return. And so as promised, I would like to share some of my favorites with you. I will do so in summary form and with minimal commentary since they are amplified elsewhere.

We will cover these in chronological order beginning with Shamuw’el – which is the first prophecy I attempted to translate some 20 years ago. The last time we contemplated its significance was following this statement in the midst of Zakaryah’s pronouncements regarding Dowd’s role in the fulfillment of Yowm Kipurym…

“Say to him (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’ la ‘amar), ‘Thus says Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the heavenly messengers (tsaba’), by communicating (la ‘amar), “Behold, look now and see (hineh), the individual (‘ysh) who is known as and is named (shem huw’) Tsemach | the Branch (Tsemach) will branch out and grow in his place (wa min tachath huw’ tsamach), and he will build at that moment in time (wa banah) the Royal Residence and Temple (hykal) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH). (Zakaryah 6:12)

He will build (banah) the Royal Residence, the Temple (‘eth hekal), of Yahowah (YaHoWaH) while his authority, honor, and countenance (howd) are lifted up and upheld (nasa’). Then (wa) he will sit and remain (yashab) upon his throne (‘al kise’ huw’) and he will govern with symbolic narratives, showing leadership by explaining things in a memorable way by making the kind of comparisons which lead to understanding (mashal).

Additionally (wa), he will be (hayah) adorned in priestly garments (kohen) upon his seat of honor (‘al kise’ huw’). Advice and counsel (‘etsah) on peace and prosperity, satisfaction and contentment, and the 560blessings of reconciliation and freedom (shalowm) will exist (hayah) to encourage understanding by making the connections between both of these responsibilities (bayn shanaym hem).”’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:13)

Then, as now, this becomes especially relevant in determining who is the Son of God, who is returning as King, and who will restore Yahowah’s Home…

“It came to pass (wa hayah ky) when the king sat down and relaxed in his home (ha melek yashab ba beyth huw’), because Yahowah (wa YaHoWaH) had given him comforting respite (nuwach la huw’) from his adversaries and rancorous foes (min sabyb min kol ‘oyeb huw’), (Shamuw’el 2 7:1) that the king said (wa ‘amar ha melek) to Nathan, the prophet (‘el Nathan ha naby’), ‘Please look around (ra’ah na’). I live (‘anoky yashab) in a house of cedar (ba beyth ‘erez), but the Ark of God (wa ‘arown ha ‘elohym) sits within curtains (yashab ba tawek ha yarya’ah).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:2)

So, Nathan said to the king (wa ‘amar Nathan ‘el ha melek), ‘Choose to go and do all that is in your best judgment (kol ‘asher ba lebab ‘atah) because, surely (ky) Yahowah is with you (Yahowah ‘im ‘atah).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:3) However, that evening (wa hayah ba ha laylah ha huw’) the word of Yahowah came to Nathan (dabar Yahowah hayah ‘el Nathan). He conveyed (la ‘amar), (Shamuw’el 2 7:4) ‘Go and tell (halak wa ‘amar ‘el) Dowd, My coworker (Dowd ‘ebed ‘any), that this is what Yahowah says (koh Yahowah ‘amar). “Why should you build Me a home to live in (ha ‘atah banah la ‘any beyth la yashab ‘any)? (Shamuw’el 2 7:5)

Indeed (ky), I have not lived (lo’ yashab) in a house (ba beyth) since the time (wa min yowm) that I lifted up to be with Me (‘alah ‘any ‘eth) the Children of Yisra’el (beny Yisra’el) out of the crucibles of oppression in 561Mitsraym(min Mitsraym). Then as an ongoing witness to the restoring testimony, up to (wa ‘ad) this day (ha yowm ha zeh), I have been moving about (wa hayah halak) in a tent dwelling as a tabernacle and home (ba ‘ohel wa ba mishkan). (Shamuw’el 2 7:6)

During any of that time, when showing the way to the benefits of the relationship, that (ba kol ‘asher) I traveled (halak) with all of the Children of Yisra’el (ba kol beny Yisra’el), did I say a single word (ha dabar dabar) to one (‘eth ‘echad) of the leaders of the tribes of Yisra’el (shebet Yisra’el), whom I instructed (‘asher tsawah) to shepherd (la ra’ah) My people (‘eth ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (Yisra’el), to say (la ‘amar), ‘So why not (la mah lo’) build for Me a house of cedar (banah la ‘any beyth ‘erez)? (Shamuw’el 2 7:7)

Now, therefore (wa ‘atah), this is what you should say (koh ‘amar) to My associate, Dowd (la ‘ebed ‘any la Dowd), as a result (koh) Yahowah of the spiritual implements (Yahowah tsaba’) says (‘amar), “I took you (‘any laqach ‘atah) from the sheepfolds (min ha neweh), from chasing after lambs (min ‘achar ha tso’n), to be the conspicuous and informative leader (la hayah nagyd) among My People (‘al ‘am ‘any), over Yisra’el (‘al Yisra’el). (Shamuw’el 2 7:8)

I have been with you (wa hayah ‘im ‘atah) throughout it all (ba kol) revealing the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) as you journeyed through life (halak). I have cut off (wa karat), accordingly, all of your enemies (‘eth kol ‘oyeb ‘atah) from your presence (min paneh ‘atah). And I have engaged on your behalf to make for you (wa ‘asah la ‘atah) an exceptionally important name, the greatest designation, and the most distinguished reputation (shem ha gadowl), when compared to the most glorified designations (ka shem ha gadowl) pursuant to the relationship (‘asher) on the Earth (ba ha ‘erets). (Shamuw’el 2 7:9)

562Furthermore (wa), I will appoint and establish (sym) a dwelling place (maqowm) for My People (la ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (la Yisra’el). I will plant them (wa nata’ huw’) such that they may abide (wa shakan) below throughout a less chaotic time than this (tachath huw’) and no longer be agitated, anguished, or terrorized (ragaz ‘owd). They will not continue to be (wa lo’ yasaph) afflicted or degraded, disparaged or denigrated (‘anah), by unjust and harmful sons, perverted and violent descendants of evil (beny ‘awlah), as will have formerly been the case (ka ‘asher ba ha ri’shown). (Shamuw’el 2 7:10)

From the day (wa la min ha yowm) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), I appointed and instructed (tsawah) Judges (shaphat) on behalf of My people (‘al ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (Yisra’el), I will provide a respite (wa nuwach la ‘atah) from all of your enemies (min kol ‘oyeb ‘atah). In addition (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) is boldly and publicly announcing to you (nagad la ‘atah) that, indeed (ky), He will act, engaging with you to create the family and home of Yahowah (beyth ‘asah la ‘atah Yahowah). (Shamuw’el 2 7:11)

Surely (ky), your time will be thoroughly proclaimed and completely fulfilled (male’ yowmym ‘atah). Then after your relaxing rest (wa shakab) with your fathers (‘eth ‘ab ‘atah), I will rise up and take a stand to bring to fruition (quwm) with your offspring what you have sown (‘eth zera’ ‘atah), something more in the end without hesitation for you (‘achar ‘atah). For the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), it will be extracted and withdrawn (yatsa’) out of a small particle of your physiological nature (min me’eh).

And so (wa) I will establish (kuwn) his reign over his kingdom (‘eth mamlakah huw’). (Shamuw’el 2 7:12) He, himself, shall restore and rebuild (huw’ banah) the family home (beyth) for (la) My name (shem ‘any). And 563(wa) I will prepare and establish (kuwn) the throne (‘eth kise’) of his kingdom (mamlakah huw’) forevermore as a continuing witness (‘ad ‘owlam). (Shamuw’el 2 7:13)

I was, I am, and I always will be (‘any hayah) for him (la huw’) as a Father (la ‘ab) and (wa) he was, is, and always will be (huw’ hayah) for Me as (la ‘any) a son (la ben).

So when that which is associated with him is warped and perverted, twisted such that it is contrary to what has been stated (‘asher ba ‘awah huw’), I will resolve the dispute against him, vindicating him, deciding with him to expose and issue a condemnation (wa yakah huw’) against the weapons and staves wielded by rulers of the nations (ba shebet) of men (‘ishym) and against (wa ba) the fungus and plague that has fallen (nega’) upon the descendants (ben) of ‘Adam (‘adam).” (Shamuw’el 2 7:14)

And therein is a perfect explanation of the religious crusade to transfer the promises made to the Messiah to create a Christ. God was not a fan…

“Therefore (wa), My steadfast devotion, enduring love, commitment to the relationship, and unmitigated favor (chesed ‘any) will not be removed from him, be disassociated or diminished regarding him, nor replaced, substituting another for him (lo’ suwr min huw’) as was the case when (ka ‘asher) I turned away from and completely rejected (suwr min) associating with (‘im) Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl) whom, to show the proper way (‘asher), I removed (suwr) from your presence (min la paneh ‘atah). (Shamuw’el 2 7:15)

And so (wa) your family (beyth ‘atah) and (wa) your position of authority, your kingdom and reign (malakah ‘atah), are assured, as it is trustworthy and dependable, firmly established, credible, and enduring (‘aman) forever as a continuing witness (‘ad ‘owlam) in My 564presence (la paneh ‘atah). Your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) will be (hayah) established and sustained (kuwn) forevermore as restoring testimony (‘ad ‘owlam).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:16)

Consistent with all of these words (ka kol ha dabarym ha ‘eleh) and in accord with (wa ka) the entire revelation (kol ha chizywon ha zeh), in this manner, Nathan accurately conveyed this (ken dabar Nathan) to Dowd (‘el Dowd).” (Shamuw’el / Listen to Him / 2 Samuel 7:17)

Let’s continue to reinforce what should have been obvious and yet has been misappropriated and misrepresented in Dany’el 9 to create a god named “Christ” and a religion called “Christianity.” We can correct these errors and reinforce the truth by turning to the 2^nd Mizmowr which was written by the very prophet who has been speaking to us. He asks…

“For what reason, one should ask (la mah), do noisy and confused throngs of scheming and rebellious Gentiles gather together to conspire in open defiance (ragash gowym)?

The people of such places who are transformed while massing under an antiquated and unifying religious, political, and / or conspiratorial leader (wa la’om) choose to plot and speak (hagah) in vain, deluded in their fantasies (ryq). (Mizmowr 2:1)

The rulers (melek) of the Earth (‘erets), solely on their own initiative, continually set themselves up (yatsab). Those who govern (rozen) conspire and rebel (yasad) altogether (yachad) against (‘al) Yahowah (Yahowah) and (wa) against (‘al) His Mashyach | Anointed (mashyach huw’).” (Mizmowr 2:2)

Yahowah perceives Christianity as an attack on His son, the Mashyach, Dowd, because these titles were 565removed from him to create the illusion of Jesus.

“Let us choose of our own volition to break away and pull off (nathaq) their bonds which trap and ensnare (‘eth mowserah hem). We should want to reject and throw away (wa shalak) from us (min ‘anachnuw) their twisted and interwoven threads which bind and immobilize (‘aboth hem). (Mizmowr 2:3)

He who inhabits, establishing His dwelling place (yashab) in the heavens (ba ha shamaym) holds them in contempt and will pulverize them (sachaq). Yahowah (Yahowah) ridicules their foreign behavior and mocks their unfamiliar and irrational statements (la’ag la hem). (Mizmowr 2:4)

At this time and place (‘az), He will communicate, expressing Himself (dabar) toward them (‘el hem) showing His frustration and resentment (ba ‘aph huw’) and in His burning indignation (ba charown huw’), will overwhelm and bewilder them (bahal hem). (Mizmowr 2:5)

I, myself, have offered leadership (wa ‘any nasak) providing counsel through my governance (melek ‘any) upon (‘al) Tsyown | the Signs Posted Along the Way (Tsyown), my Set-Apart Mountain (har qodesh ‘any). (Mizmowr 2:6)

I will choose to account for, proclaiming in writing (saphar) the decree, serving as a clearly communicated prescription for living (choq) of the Almighty (‘el) which Yahowah (Yahowah) conveyed (‘amar) to me (‘el ‘any), ‘You are My son (ben ‘any ‘atah). This day (ha yowm) I (‘any) bring you forth as your Father (yalad ‘atah).” (Mizmowr 2:7)

So why are billions confused, denying Dowd and accrediting Jesus with a title Yahowah clearly delineated long ago?

566“Feel free to ask questions about this, seeking to learn the answers because literally out of Me and from Me (sha’al min ‘any) there will be an inherited share of the land of the gentile nations that will be given to you and to successive generations (gowym nachalah ‘atah), even unto (wa) the distant reaches of the Earth and the material realm (‘ephes ‘erets) becoming your property (‘achuzah ‘atah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 2:8)

Demonstrating that Dowd’s life serves as a metaphor for Yisra’el, consistent with its depiction in Shamuw’el’s prophecy regarding him, Yahowah refers to Dowd | David as His Bakowr | Firstborn in Mizmowr / Psalm 89. It affirms many things, all of which are germane to properly interpreting Dany’el 9…

“I have established (karat) the Beryth | Covenant, the Home for the Family (Beryth) with My Chosen One, the man I personally selected (la bachyr ‘any). I have sworn this oath (shaba’) to Dowd (la Dowd), My authorized agent who works on My behalf (‘ebed ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:3)

I will establish (kuwn) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah) as an eternal and restoring witness (‘ad ‘owlam). In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr). Pause now and contemplate the implications (selah).” (Mizmowr 89:4)

This not only affirms our rendering of Dany’el 9, it is consistent with the 2^ndMizmowr and 2 Shamuw’el 7. Now speaking to Yahowah on Dowd’s behalf, the Psalmist prescribes a title far more important than Mashyach…

“Beside You and on Your behalf (la ‘atah) the Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd (zarowa’ – the Productive Ram who shepherds the flock, who prevails because he is 567effective and strong, fully resolved with the overall ability to accomplish the mission, the remarkably important and impactful individual of action who, as a leader and fighter, is engaged as a shepherd among his sheep, especially when sowing the seeds of truth while advancing the purpose of the arm of God) with tremendous power and awesome ability (‘im gabuwrah – with the will to fight and the capacity to perform, who accomplishes what needs to be done; from gibowr – a mighty warrior, valiant soldier, and capable defender, a hero worth noting) will be Your strong hand (‘azaz yad ‘atah) raised up high (ruwm) at Your right side (yamyn ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:13)

Delighted to show the way and blessed (‘ashry) are the family members (ha ‘am) who are aware of and acknowledge Yada (yada’) and Taruw’ah (Taruw’ah – Trumpets, the 5^th Miqra’ey, serving as the time to expose corruptions while sharing the truth, the day Yada’ was called by Yahowah to awaken His people in 2001), who walk (halak) with the light into Your presence (ba ‘owr paneh ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah). (Mizmowr 89:15) In Your name (ba shem ‘atah) they rejoice (gyl) every day (kol ha yowm). And (wa) in Your justice and vindication, by being right (ba tsadaqah ‘atah), they are lifted on high (ruwm). (Mizmowr 89:16)

Indeed (ky), Your power (‘oz ‘atah) is their adornment (tiph’erth hem) and (wa) our status and radiance (qaran ‘anachnuw) which is lifted up (ruwm) by Your desire to be accepting (ba ratsown ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:17) For (ky) our deliverance and protection (magen ‘anachnuw) are from (la) Yahowah (Yahowah). Accordingly (wa la), the Set-Apart One (qadowsh) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el) is our King (melek ‘anachnuw).” (Mizmowr / Psalm 89:18)

Let there be no doubt as to the identity of the Set-Apart One of Yisra’el. He is Yahowah’s choice to be our Shepherd, Messiah, and King, His Son, Dowd.

568“At the time (‘az) You spoke (dabar) in a revelation (ba chazown) to those whose love for You and commitment to You is unwavering (la chasyd ‘atah), saying (‘amar), ‘I have provided (shawah) assistance, supplying what is needed (‘ezer) on behalf of (‘al) the one with the strength to prevail (gibowr – the mightiest of men, the strong and effective fighter, the valiant and brave warrior, the one who battles; from gabar – to prevail, to be powerful, mighty, and strong, to prove one’s valor and to champion a virtuous cause). I have raised up and exalted (ruwm) the Chosen One (bachar) from (min) the people (‘am).’” (Mizmowr 89:19)

It is from this statement that I readily deduced that Gabry’el was Dowd. Gibowr, gabar, and geber stand out as an exemplary family of words directing us to the subject of this Mizmowr – to Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent and Capable Individual. Moreover, Yahowah said as much…

“I discovered and then made known (matsa’) Dowd (Dowd), My coworker (‘ebed ‘any). Out of (min) My set-apart oil which uniquely distinguishes (shemen qodesh ‘any), I have anointed him as the Mashyach / Messiah (mashach), (Mizmowr 89:20) to show the way to the relationship and that (‘asher) My hand (yad ‘any) will be steadfast and unwavering (kuwn) with you (‘im ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:21)

In addition (‘aph), My Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd (zarowa’ ‘any) will empower and embolden you, strengthening you, helping you grow, expanding your horizons, and elevating your status (‘amets ‘atah).” (Mizmowr 89:21)

By referencing this Mizmowr, Dany’el 9 is easily understood. And there is more to it than just the realization that our hero is Dowd because God also addresses the role of the villain. And this is especially true with regard to the 569point Yahowah was making about Christians replacing the Messiah Dowd with their Christ.

“The Adversary (‘oyeb) will not nullify him (showa’ – will not negate his value nor annul his position or purpose) and (wa) the Son of Evil (ben ‘awlah) shall not deny him nor denigrate him (lo’ ‘anah huw’ – shall not silence him nor stop him, will not obfuscate his answers nor nullify his responsive declarations). (Mizmowr 89:22)

And so (wa) I will rebuke and incarcerate (kathath) his foes, especially those who seek to constrain and restrict him (tsary huw’). Then (wa) because of his presence and appearance (min paneh huw’), I will plague (nagaph) those who shun him by attempting to decrease his status (sane’ huw’). (Mizmowr 89:23)

Therefore (wa), My steadfast commitment is resolute and unwavering (‘emuwnah ‘any; from ‘emuwn), so My love and devotion, My enduring favoritism and unfailing affection (wa chesed ‘any) will remain with him (‘im huw’). In My name (wa ba shem ‘any) his light will radiate and enlighten (qaran huw’). (Mizmowr 89:24) He shall call out to Me and welcome Me, announcing (huw’ qara’ ‘any), ‘You are my Father (‘ab ‘any ‘atah)!’ (Mizmowr 89:26)

I (‘any), likewise (‘aph), will appoint him (nathan huw’) My Firstborn Son (bakowr ‘any), the highest of all (‘elyown) of the kings and rulers (la melek) of the Earth (‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:27)

For all eternity (la ‘owlam) I will keep watch over him, paying very close attention to him (shamar la huw’). My unwavering love, unrelenting devotion, enduring affection, and generosity (chesed ‘any) as a part of My Family-Oriented Covenant (wa beryth ‘any) are truthfully presented and will reliably endure with him (‘aman la huw’).” (Mizmowr 89:28)

570There is only one Covenant, and it is reliably presented through Dowd – not Sha’uwl | Paul or the other Towrahless One who will come.

“And I will establish (wa sym) his seed, that which he sows, and his offspring (zera’ huw’), as an eternal witness forever (la ‘ed | ‘ad). And (wa) his throne (kise’ huw’) will be equated to the time of heaven (ka yowm shamaym). (Mizmowr 89:29)

However, if (‘im) his descendants and offspring (beny huw’) continue to forsake, ignore, or reject (‘azab) My Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah ‘any) and (wa) make a habit of failing to walk (wa lo’ halak) according to My means to exercise good judgment and justly resolve disputes (ba mishpat ‘any), (Mizmowr 89:30) if (‘im) they perpetually view My clearly communicated prescriptions for living with contempt (chuqah ‘any chalal), and further (wa), if they consistently fail to observe the instructive terms of the relationship considering what is being offered and expected in return (mitswah ‘any lo’ shamar), (Mizmowr 89:31) then (wa) I will hold them accountable (paqad) for the full measure (ba shebet) of their rebellion (pesha’ hem). The consequence of their deviation from the way and of their corruptions (‘awon hem) will be a pestilence which causes widespread death (ba nega’). (Mizmowr 89:32)

Accordingly (wa), My unwavering love and devotion (chesed ‘any) I will never remove from him (lo’ parar min ‘im huw’) because I will never communicate something which is not true nor will I ever contradict (wa lo’ shaqar ba) My steadfast commitment (‘emuwnah ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:33)

I will never dishonor or make commonplace (lo’ chalal) My Covenant (beryth ‘any) nor will I ever alter, change, or rearrange (wa lo’ shanah) that which has 571gone forth from (mowtsa’) My lips (saphah ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:34)

There is only one (‘echad) to whom I have affirmed the truth by having made a promise (shaba’) by My Set-Apart nature (ba qodesh ‘any). If not to (‘im la) Dowd (Dowd), I will be proven a liar (kazab).” (Mizmowr 89:35)

And therein dies any chance that Jesus is the Messiah or the Son of God. The preceding rendering of Dany’el 9 stands affirmed.

“His offspring and that which he sows (zera’ huw’) shall exist and endure (hayah) forever (la ‘owlam). And (wa) his place of honor, his throne, seat of authority, and sovereign leadership (kise’ huw’), shall be as (ka) brilliant and powerful as the sun (ha shemesh) before Me (neged ‘any).” (Mizmowr 89:36)

Unfortunately, very few have done what we are doing, and that is to closely examine the evidence Yahowah has provided and then go where His words lead. Had rabbis done so 2,000 years ago, Christianity would not have emerged in their midst to plague God’s people. Once one accepts that Dowd is the Messiah and Son of God, there is no room for an anti-Semitic religion based upon Jesus Christ and Replacement Theology.

“But now (wa), you have refused to accept (zanach) and (wa) you have rejected by diminishing the merit of, even over time becoming averse to (ma’as) your Messiah (Mashyach ‘atah), improperly, and on your own initiative, meddling while presumptuously passing over (‘abar) any association with him (‘im huw’)! (Mizmowr 89:38) You have repudiated and renounced (na’ar) the Covenant (beryth) with your coworker (‘ebed ‘atah), dishonoring and defiling (chalal) his dedication and preparation, even his consecration and crown (nezer huw’). (Mizmowr 89:39)

572What’s worse (‘aph), you have deliberately turned away from (shuwb) what he has chiseled in stone (tsuwr chereb huw’) such that (wa) you do not stand with him or support him (quwm huw’) in this conflict (ba ha milchamah). (Mizmowr 89:43) His brilliance (tahar huw’) and his position (wa kise’ huw’) you have truncated (shabath) because (min) you have hurled it to the ground (la magar ha ‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:44)

You have cut short, curtailing the ability to accomplish the mission (qatsar) during the days (yowmym) of his youth (‘aluwmym huw’). You have shamefully covered him over, dishonoring him (‘atah ‘al huw’ buwshah). Take a moment and consider the implications (selah). (Mizmowr 89:45)

For how long (‘ad mah), Yahowah (Yahowah), will You remain hidden and unknown to so many (sathar)? Will Your displeasure and antagonism (chemah ‘atah) burn like a fire (ba’ar kamow ‘esh) forever (la netsach)? (Mizmowr 89:46)

What man (my geber) can live (chayah) and (wa) never see (lo’ ra’ah) death as a result of the plague (maweth), saving his soul (malat nepesh huw’) from the hand (min yad) of Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl – Question Him, the Benjamite wolf in sheep’s clothing who as a result of being demon-possessed changed his name to reflect his affinity with Rome, becoming Paul, the principal author of the Christian New Testament, the Father of Lies and the Son of Evil)? Pause now and consider what this implies (selah). (Mizmowr / Psalm 89:48)

Where (‘ayeh) is Your unwavering love and enduring mercy (chesed ‘atah) which was expressed first and foremost in the beginning (ri’shown) which You promised (shaba’) to Dowd, the Beloved (la Dowd), in harmony with Your steadfast commitment to being trustworthy and reliable (‘emuwnah ‘atah)? (Mizmowr 57389:49)

Choose to remember, and elect to be mindful of (zakar), the contemptible and condescending taunts and the dishonorable and deplorable decrees which were determined (cherpah) by all of the many nations and the preponderance of the people (kol rabym ‘am) against those who work with You (‘ebed ‘atah) which I have now brought to bear (nasa’ ‘any) in my best judgment (ba heq). (Mizmowr 89:50)

That is because (‘asher) those in open opposition to You (‘oyeb ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah), are insulting with their bewildering derision and improperly discerned contempt (charaph) which is why (‘asher) they are confusing, responding improperly by ridiculing and defying (charaph), the beneficial and trustworthy footsteps (‘aqeb / ‘eqeb) of Your Messiah (mashyach ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:51)

Blessed and benefited by kneeling down in love to uplift is (barak) Yahowah (Yahowah) forever (la ‘owlam). This is trustworthy, verifiable, and reliable (‘aman wa ‘aman).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 89:52)

This is game over for Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The truth has been presented as bluntly and boldly as words allow. It is well past time that Yisra’el and Yahuwdah discard the myths of old, tear off the controlling shackles of their religion, and that of the gentiles, and come to embrace the truth regarding Dowd. God’s Son and our Messiah has one name and many titles: Ben ‘Elohym, Ha Mashyach, Bakowr, Ra’ah, Bachyr and Bachar, Tsemach, ‘Ebed ‘Any, Zarowa’, Qadowsh, ‘Elyown Melek, Gibowr and Gabry’el, et al.
