OUR COVER:  We chose the picture of a baby goat for this quarter’s issue. This is to highlight the upcoming Passover in the month of March. Israel was commanded to take a lamb of the sheep, or a kid of the goats for the Passover sacrifice. It was to be kept in their household beginning on the 10th day of the month until the afternoon of the 14th when it was to be sacrificed. Such a young animal of the first year is sweet and innocent. It can quickly become a part of one’s family. To sacrifice it would have been a difficult thing. This is only a small example of the preciousness of Yahshua’s sacrifice.

FROM THE EDITOR

DO YOU LOVE TRUTH OR LIES?

Here we go again! We have just finished the Christmas season, and the beginning of Caesar’s year. While I look about me, I see people decorating their homes, having a spirit called the spirit of Christmas, which does appear good in some cases, and then the observance of one year’s end and the beginning of another. It was reported that there were 54 Christmas trees in the Whitehouse alone! But the point of the matter is that it is all based on lies. It is all based on man’s fabrication under the influence of the prince of the power of the air (breath), the god of this world!

The truth of the matter is that December 25th IS NOT the anniversary of the birth of the Savior. Neither is January 1st the beginning of the Creator’s annual cycle (year). People, themselves, perpetrate the lie to their young children by teaching them that there is a Santa Claus, a fairy tale figure who lives at the north pole and spends the whole year with elves busily making presents to be delivered on Christmas eve.

January is named after the Roman god Janus who was two-faced (deceptive). He was the god of thresholds or the entrance to homes. The true new year should begin close to the vernal equinox (spring).

The Apostle Paul writes, “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Sovereign Yahshua the Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of the Messiah is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Elohim, or that is worshipped; so that he as Elohim sitteth in the temple of Elohim, shewing himself that he is Elohim. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Yahweh shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness,” 2 Thes. 2:1-12.

How strong is the delusion? Christmas is a lie, Santa Claus is a lie, January 1st is a lie, Caesar’s calendar is a lie, the Savior’s name was never Jesus, the Creator’s name is not God, Easter is not Passover, Yahshua’s death had nothing to do with a pagan goddess named Easter/Ishtar, bunny rabbits, colored eggs, Yahshua was in the grave for three days and three nights, not a day and a half, the seventh day Sabbath is Yahweh’s day of rest, not Sunday, the day of the pagan sun god. The list goes on and on.

The fact of the matter is that these things point to the strong delusion. Yahshua said that Yahweh is spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth (Jn. 4:24). There is no truth to the things that I have just pointed out. They have to do with deceit, falsehoods, outright lies, but the world loves them because it can’t believe the truth. As it says in another place, men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil (Jn. 3:19).

Iniquity has to do with lawlessness, living without law, or outside the law. The mystery of iniquity has to do with the Christian teaching that the law is done away. This is another great lie. The truth of the matter is that the New Covenant (New Testament) has to do with Yahweh’s promise to write His law on His people’s heart (Jer. 31; Heb. 8).

We have just revealed the difference between fact and fiction, truth and lies. We have just revealed many points of the strong delusion that Yahweh has sent so that those who love lies rather than truth will come under condemnation.

Scripture reveals that Satan has deceived the whole world (Rev. 12:9). If you practice the things enumerated above, then you have been deceived and are living a lie. The question now is, do you really love truth enough to change your way of living, repent of the lies and deception, embrace the truth, live in the way of truth, love the truth, and inherit Yahweh’s kingdom?

Those who have read this commentary have been warned. Now, what are you going to do about it?

Back to the top

The Tsar? You might ask. What do you mean by this word? This is a Hebrew word that few people have looked into, but is mentioned throughout the Old Testament. It is very important to know just who, or what the Tsar is, and how this word should be applied.

By Jerry Healan

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; 2The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 3From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of Yahweh hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. 4And Yahweh hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 5They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: 6And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. 7Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Yahweh; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. 8Therefore thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 9Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Yahweh, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. 11And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 12And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 13And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands,” Jer. 25:1-14.

  Now you might say that this prophecy of Jeremiah only applied to the nation of Judah back in the ancient days. It has nothing to do with our world today. You will be so wrong in your assumption. Yes, it was for them back then, but take a look at the situation back then compared to today, and even further back. Wasn’t Noah an 8th preacher of righteousness that Yahweh sent to the world to warn the people before the flood to repent or be destroyed? According to the Biblical and geological record, the flood did take place. But the third generation after the flood had already fallen away from Yahweh. After all, they were born into a new world, and it was hard to believe that such things had taken place, so the people were deceived into following a great hero named Nimrod.

  The children of Israel had been taken into slavery by the Egyptians. When Yahweh intervened and brought them out by fantastic miracles, they couldn’t even follow Yahweh with a believing heart, but moaned, griped, and complained during the whole trek in the wilderness, even though Yahweh had to perform so many mighty miracles for them for their provision and sustenance.

  When they came into the land, they fell away from Yahweh, and He had to send various judges to intervene and deliver them from various oppressors sent by Yahweh to get their attention. They were eventually amalgamated into a most powerful kingdom by the hand of King David, but his son Solomon turned away from Yahweh and the kingdom was divided between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.

  The northern kingdom fell away from the worship of Yahweh and were destroyed and removed from the land. Judah, the southern kingdom, saw what had happened to Israel, and continued to serve Yahweh for a while, but now….in Jeremiah’s day….they had fallen away to the worship of the host of heaven, and the works of their own hands.

  What about our world today? Look about you. While the word of Yahweh has been preserved… somewhat….although man has changed it to take the true names out and give credit to other elohim…. (Hmmmm……isn’t that what Yahweh was warning Judah about in their day?), the fact of the matter is that the word of Yahweh is a living, breathing word that applies to all generations. Our world today has principally forgotten the warnings of Yahweh upon His people. So many in our world today, turn a deaf ear to anything that the Scriptures say. Others who supposedly believe, will only embrace the New Testament Scriptures and relegate the Old Testament to having been completed, finished and just use it for history lessons if even that.

  Will our world believe? Maybe a few, but most will continue on the road to oblivion, casting the Word of Yahweh and His faith aside for the falsehoods that they love to embrace. Let’s face it, we live in a world of unbelief today, just as great as the unbelief of the Israelites who wandered in the desert until their carcasses fell there.

  Let’s see if we can work a thread through these Scriptures that will bring us down to our world today.

  BABYLON

  Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon who Yahweh warned would bring destruction upon Judah for their unfaithfulness. Israel had been established in Jerusalem as Yahweh’s light for the rest of the world to see. During the first part of Solomon’s reign, the blessings, greatness, and peace of the kingdom was breathtaking. The queen of Sheba said so herself, “And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her,” 1 Ki. 10:4-5. Spirit in Hebrew is ruach. The word ruach not only has to do with spirit, but breath, air, wind, etc. This is just another way to say that she had a breathtaking experience.

  But now, because of their infidelity to their great Elohim, King, and Creator Yahweh, Judah, the remainder of the children of Israel in the land of promise, was going to have to be destroyed. The glory of the kingdom was gone.

  Babylon now was to become the glory of the kingdoms of the world. Babylon had originally been the kingdom that Nimrod established after the flood. There had also been other great kingdoms, Egypt, Assyria, etc. But from the time that Israel was no longer to be a kingdom, a succession of kingdoms were going to arise to rule the Mediterranean world. Babylon was the first kingdom and she had a great master and king in the form of Nebuchadnezzar. Yahweh was eventually going to restore the kingdom to Israel, and still is, but in the meantime, four world ruling kingdoms would rise up whose history would be recorded in the Scriptures and focused on by the world. Nebuchadnezzar was shown this fact in a dream that had to be interpreted by the Hebrew prophet Daniel (Daniel 2).

  He was shown a great image that had a head of gold (representing him and his kingdom of Babylon), breast and arms of silver (Medo-Persia), belly and thighs of brass (Mace-donian-Greek), legs of iron (Rome), feet part of iron and part of clay (Rome-New Rome[Constantinople]), and toes part of iron and part of miry clay (Rome-The Third Rome [Moscow, Russia]). (Dan. 2:1-47) This would be the history of these world ruling kingdoms in a nutshell; a thumbnail sketch of their greatness, characteristics, and corruption. I certainly don’t want to leave out the part where a stone is cut out without hands that smites the image on its feet destroying the image and becomes a great kingdom that fills the whole earth. This kingdom, of course, is yet future (near future). This stone is not a part of the world’s kingdoms, but is the much longed for and desired kingdom of heaven that will be ruled over by Yahshua the Messiah.

  Babylon was not only the beginning of the power of these kingdoms, but she was a great kingdom of idolatry. Of course, the idols, and idolatry are nothing, empty, vain, only Yahweh is true, but since the Hebrews turned to idolatry, Yahweh sold them and the rest of the world into idolatry. Babylon worshipped a great medley of false gods including Nebo, Marduk, Bel, etc.

  This image that Nebuchadnezzar dreamed of was all one image meaning that these kingdoms are all the same body, just different parts, phases, and stages of the same system. Thinking about the head, this is where the eyes, ears, mouth, and brain are. It is the brain (in the head) that controls the rest of the body, therefore the spirit of Babylon has always lived on in the rest of the kingdoms.

  Daniel chapter seven gives a beastly description of these four kingdoms. The first kingdom is like a lion with eagle’s wings. The lion is king of beasts, while the eagle is king of birds. Nebuchadnezzar was told that he was a king of kings (Dan. 2:37). Thus, the first kingdom of Daniel seven is Babylon.

  The wings of the eagle are plucked off, the lion is made to stand like a man, and a man’s heart is given to it. What does Yahweh say about man’s heart? “And Yahweh smelled a sweet savour; and Yahweh said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done,” Gen. 8:21. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jer. 17:9.

  This is the beginning of the Gentile kingdoms. Even though Yahweh is the one who set them up, they are idolatrous, deceitful, evil, and desperately wicked.

  The Babylonian god Bel, is identical to the Ba’al of the Canaanites, which the Israelites turned to worship in the process of turning away from Yahweh.

MEDO-PERSIA

  The next kingdom after Babylon was the kingdom of the Medes and Persians. Their religion was basically Zoroastrianism. One of their chief deities was a sun god named Mithra (-s), whose special day of the week was the first day of the week (now called Sunday). His birthday was December 25th. This author has been able to associate him with Adam as he was born of a rock (Yahweh is the Rock). He was naked when he was born. Adam, of course, was created naked. He went to a fig tree and ate of its fruit and then CLOTHED HIMSELF WITH ITS LEAVES! (Information from Encyclopedia Britannica 14th Edition.)

  Does this all sound familiar? We hope so, because it does show that the customs of Babylon, and its replacement Medo-Persia, are still in practice in today’s world. Medo-Persia was the second kingdom, the kingdom represented by the breast and arms of silver. As our body automatically performs what our brain tells it to, the breast and arms of Medo-Persia followed the lead of its head, Babylon.

  Do you not see that this has come down to our present world which uplifts Sunday, the first day of the week, as well as annually celebrates December 25th (Christmas) as the birth of the Savior, even though the Savior was not born on this day!

MACEDONIA-GREECE

  The third kingdom to follow in succession was the Macedonian-Greek kingdom of Alexander the Great. They, of course, worshipped a pantheon of deities of whom Zeus was the chief god. His headquarters was Mount Olympus. The Olympic games were dedicated to him, wherein the young athletes performed their various games, especially the marathons in the nude.

  Zeus was the son of Cronus and Rhea. Cronus, in turn was a Titan, but he was also an agricultural god. The sickle was his emblem; in Rome, he was Saturn. Cronus utilized the sickle to castrate his father Uranus (the elohim of heaven). Cronus, therefore, is none other than Cain who slew his brother Abel, of whom the Roman God Saturn is also a type. Both Cronus and Saturn were agricultural gods and the sickle was their emblem. Cain was a tiller of the ground, while Abel was a shepherd. When Yahweh banished Cain because of the murder of his brother, Cain declared that He would be hid from the face of Yahweh (Gen. 4:14). Interestingly, the Hebrew word for “hid” is esater (rtsa). The numerical value for this word is 661, but if we place a hei (h) in front of the word to make it say “the hidden” (rtsaeh) then the word adds up to 666.

  If Zeus is the son of Cronus, Cronus being Cain, then Zeus is Cain’s son Enoch. Cain was banished to Nod, the land of wandering, but in his defiance against Yahweh, he built a city and named it after his first son Enoch. Enoch means to “initiate.” Cain is the founder of the mysteries of freemasonry into which a person must be “initiated.”

  According to Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Enoch founded sun worship. But freemasonry has syncretized or blended Cain’s wicked son Enoch, and the Scripturally righteous Enoch together into one person, so that the system appears to come from the antiquity of righteousness.

  Cain’s descendant Tubalcain was an artificer of brass and iron. He was a founder who manufactured weapons of war, and also most likely metallic idols and images. Brass and iron are the metals associated with the third (Greece) and fourth (Rome) world ruling kingdoms of the Mediterranean. The name Tubalcain is shown by Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry to have transpired into Vulcan, the Roman fire god, who was in a Trinitarian relationship with Jupiter, and Hesus.

ROME

  Rome was to be the fourth world ruling kingdom, and this is true in both Biblical and secular history. There was a famous saying, “All roads lead to Rome.” This is not only true in the physical world, but also in the spirit realm. The religions of Babylon, Persia, and Greece were brought into the Roman Empire under the Caesars. When Rome defeated her enemies, she took their priesthoods and gods and goddesses captive to Rome, either building temples for them, or inculcating those gods into the temples of existing similar Roman gods. The Arch of Titus shows the artifacts of Yahweh’s temple in Jerusalem being taken into captivity to Rome upon the destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE.

  As stated, the Roman God Saturn was associated with the Greek god Cronus, and the sickle tying them together with Cain who slew Abel, in effect, destroying the righteous line from the earth, and castrating the Elohim of heaven known as Uranus. It was the son of Adam, Seth, through whom the righteous line would now come. Seth means “substituted.” Yahweh substituted him for the righteous line instead of the line of Abel who was cut off from the land of the living.

  Here is what Alexander Hislop says about the Roman god Saturn in his book The Two Babylons, “The name of the system is "Mystery" (Rev 17:5). Here, then, we have the key that at once unlocks the enigma. We have now only to inquire what was the name by which Nimrod was known as the god of the Chaldean Masteries. That name, as we have seen, was Saturn. Saturn and Mystery are both Chaldean words, and they are correlative terms. As Mystery signifies the Hidden system, so Saturn signifies the Hidden god. *

  To those who were initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was hidden. Now, the name Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus--Stur. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666:--

S = 060
T = 400
U = 006
R = 200

  The Hebrew letters for Satur would be rfts (Stur) with the exact numerical equivalents. Samek (s) = 60; tau (t) = 400; waw (w) = 6; and resh (r) = 200. 60 +400 +6 + 200 = 666.

  Hislop traced the mystery religion back to Nimrod, a descendant of Noah’s son Ham, who raised up the mystery religion after the flood, however, he failed to trace it all the way back to Cain and his descendants before the flood.

  According to Ovid, Rome’s original name was Saturn, or Saturnia.

  The Roman Caesars became Pontifex Maximus over all religion (paganism). In other words, they were the priests, the mediators between heaven and earth.

THE TSAR

  The Roman Emperors not only took the title Caesar in order to associate themselves with Julius Caesar, who was deified as god by Augustus, but they also preferred the title Augustus because it had to do with the worthiness of being worshipped as the “son of the god Caesar”, and therefore, worthy of worship as god. The Emperors of the East (Constantinople, and later Moscow) also preferred the title of “TSAR.”

  Tsar, in Hebrew, is defined as; narrow; (as a noun) a tight place (usually figuratively, i.e. trouble); also a pebble (as in 6864); (transitive) an opponent (as crowding). It is variously translated as; adversary, afflicted(-tion), anguish, close, distress, enemy, flint, foe, narrow, small, sorrow, strait, tribulation, trouble, etc.

  Let’s take a look at what the Scriptures say about the Tsar, and how he has been the adversary, the enemy who brings in trouble and tribulation.

  We started this treatise with warnings from the Prophet Jeremiah that Judah and Jerusalem would be destroyed if they didn’t repent and turn to Yahweh in accordance with the covenant that He made with them. The book of Lamentations is the end result of their refusal to pay heed to Yahweh:

  Lam. 1:1-22, “How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary! 2She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies. 3Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits. 4The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. 5Her adversaries (tsars) are the chief, her enemies prosper; for Yahweh hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy (tsar). 6And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. 7Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy (tsar), and none did help her: the adversaries (tsars) saw her, and did *mock at her sabbaths. 8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. 9Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O Yahweh, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself. 10The adversary (tsar) hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation. 11All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O Yahweh, and consider; for I am become vile. 12Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith Yahweh hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 13**From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. 14The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, Yahweh hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up. 15Yahweh hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: Yahweh hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress. 16For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. 17Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: Yahweh hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries (tsars) should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. 18Yahweh is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. 19I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls. 20Behold, O Yahweh; for I am in distress (tsarar): my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death. 21They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me. 22Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.”

  *NOTE: The adversaries (tsars) mock at her Sabbaths. This is exactly what the Tsar Constantine the Great did when he entered into the New Testament assembly, took over as Pontifex Maximus decreeing Sunday worship in lieu of the seventh day Sabbath. The Tsars, therefore, made a mockery of the Sabbath by substituting another day of worship.

**NOTE: From above comes from the Hebrew word marowm (mwrm), which could, or probably should have been interpreted as “from Rome”! The Latin word for Rome is Roma, which is similar to the Hebrew ramah or high place. Rome (originally Saturn, or Saturnia [city of Saturn]), or Roma is the high place and high city of the Roman empire, which is in the line of successors to the Gentile kingdoms that would rule over the Middle East. It was the Roman general Titus who burned Jerusalem and Yahweh’s temple with fire in 70CE. But it was the Tsar Constantine (emperor of Rome and Constantinople [Roma Nova]) who cast fire into the assembly (Yahweh’s spiritual temple) by taking over decreeing Sunday worship and attributing salvation to Yesus (Hesus) who was in a Trinitarian relationship with Jupiter and Vulcan, the Roman fire god. Sunday is worship of the sun and fire. I know that these may be things that are difficult to understand, but we must remember that the prophets prophesied warnings not only to people of their day, but to all ages. Yahweh knows the future. It is men who, in interpreting the Scriptures, do not, and cannot understand the deep spiritual implications without the Spirit of Yahweh. Therefore, things become hidden and must be searched out.

  Psa. 74:1-11, “O Elohim, why hast thou cast us off forever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 4Thine enemies (tsarar) roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ***ensigns for signs. 5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 7**They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of Elohim in the land. 9***We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 10O Elohim, how long shall the adversary (tsar) reproach? ****Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck it out of thy bosom.”

***NOTE: The words “ensigns, and signs come from the Hebrew word owth (twa), which were the seventh day Sabbath and annual Sabbaths. Again, the Roman Emperors from Constantine onward, replaced the Sabbath with Sunday, and the annual holy days with pagan holidays.

****NOTE: The world simply does not understand, but the names Yahweh and Yahshua have been replaced with “the LORD,” “God,” “Jesus,” etc. This is, in effect, the blaspheming of the names, or in other words, introducing names of blasphemy.

  Psa. 89:38-51, “But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 42*****Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries (tsar); thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 46How long, Yahweh? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 49Yahweh, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 50Remember, Yahweh, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Yahweh; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.”

*****NOTE: The right hand of Yahweh is Yahshua, His salvation. The right hand of the Tsar is one named Yesus, Jesus.

  The succession of the Roman Empire was legs of iron, feet part iron and part potter’s clay, toes part iron, part miry clay. This promotes the idea of division, and sure enough Rome was divided. Old Rome would have been represented by the legs of iron. But then came along New Rome (Roma Nova) situated at Constantinople. This would be the iron and potter’s clay. But a third Rome was raised up which was located in Moscow, Russia headed by the infamous Russian Tsars. This would be the iron and miry clay.

  The western half of the Roman Empire was Latin, but the eastern half was Greek. Of course, the third Rome (Moscow) was Russian.  It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word for “miry clay” is tiyn, but the Hebrew word for miry is yaven. “Yaven” is #3121 in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and is defined as; from the same as 3196; properly, dregs (as effervescing); hence, mud.

  Yaven consists of the very same characters as Yavan, which is #3120 in Strong’s, being defined as; probably from the same as 3196; effervescing (i.e. hot and active); Javan, the name of a son of Joktan, and of the race (Ionians, i.e. Greeks) descended from him, with their territory; also of a place in Arabia.

  Yaven (Nfi) is a Hebrew word for “miry”, while Yavan (!ywi)is the term for Greek, Greece. Both come from Hebrew word #3196 which is yayin. Yayin is defined as; from an unused root meaning to effervesce; wine (as fermented); by implication, intoxication.

  It is the Greek influence on the world and also the Scriptures that produces the “miry” clay.

THE WINE CUP

  I started this treatise by quoting Jeremiah 25:1-14, but let’s continue in Jeremiah now to see what he was told to do, “For thus saith Yahweh Elohim of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17Then took I the cup at Yahweh’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom Yahweh had sent me: 18To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; 19Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, 21Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 22And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, 23Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, 24And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, 25And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 26And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. 27Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 28And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. 29For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Yahweh of hosts 30Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Yahweh shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for Yahweh hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith Yahweh. 32Thus saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33And the slain of Yahweh shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground,” Jer. 25:15-33.

  Again, Jeremiah writes, “Babylon hath been a golden cup in Yahweh’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad,” 51:7.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR

  The very name Nebuchadnezzar tells us a lot when we explore into its make-up and meanings. Nebuchadnezzar in Hebrew = rucandkwbn

  This name can be broken down into four (4) distinct Hebrew words. The first is wbn (Nebu), which is #5015 in Strong’s and is defined as: probably of foreign derivation; Nebo, the name of a Babylonian deity, also of a mountain in Moab, and of a place in Palestine:--Nebo

  The next Hebrew word is dk (kad), which is #3537 in Strong’s and is defined as: from an unused root meaning to deepen; properly, a pail; but generally of earthenware; a jar for domestic purposes:--barrel, pitcher.

  The next Hebrew word is can (nets/na’ats), which is #5006 and is defined as: a primitive root; to scorn; or (Ecclesiastes 12:5) by interchange for 5132, to bloom:--abhor, (give occasion to) blaspheme, contemn, despise, flourish, X great, provoke.

  And finally rc (tsar) which is #6862 and is defined as: or tsar {tsawr}; from 6887; narrow; (as a noun) a tight place (usually figuratively, i.e. trouble); also a pebble (as in 6864); (transitive) an opponent (as crowding):--adversary, afflicted(-tion), anguish, close, distress, enemy, flint, foe, narrow, small, sorrow, strait, tribulation, trouble.

  Putting it all together in the Hebrew, we would get the idea that he is the vessel of the abominable Babylonian god Nebo who is the adversary bringing distress and tribulation.

  However a visit to several online dictionaries also yielded these definitions:

1. (Old Testament) king of Chaldea who captured and destroyed Jerusalem and exiled the Israelites to Babylonia (630?-562 BC)

2. A very large wine bottle holding the equivalent of 20 normal bottles of wine; used especially for display.

    A very large wine bottle holding the equivalent of 20 normal bottles of wine!? Isn’t this interesting as well as eye-opening? Notice that the word tsar is also incorporated into his name. From beginning to the end of Babylon, the world has been imbibing the wine of idolatry.

THE HARLOT

  Do you think that we can read Revelation 17 with a little more clarity and understanding? “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration,” Rev. 17:1-6.

  All nations and peoples have drunk, and are drinking of the cup of this wine of fornication. Yahweh judged His own city and temple to be destroyed twice because of their idolatries. He has said that since He has judged her in that manner, He will also judge the rest of the earth likewise.

  The harlot Babylon has continued to promote her idolatrous gods and ways throughout history. She continues to do so today. The kings of the earth and the harlot have been working together to keep the world bound in idolatry. The kings demanded that the people practice their faith on pain of torture and death. People even had to flee the wrath of the king of England to the new world of America. But they still only practiced their own brand of idolatry.

THE ADVERSARIES

  There is a spiritual adversary and there is a physical adversary. The spiritual adversary, of course, is Satan the devil. He is the prince of the power of the air and the god of this present evil world. The word Satan means adversary.

  But then there is the physical adversary, the Tsar. Both Hebrew words (Satan and Tsar) have to do with an adversary. The Tsars have lived in an adversarial relationship against Yahweh, even while they look like they are His servants to their people and the people influenced by them.

  There is the Latin Rome, Greek Rome, and Russian Rome. They have been the seats of Christianity after the Tsar Constantine came into the assembly and began to dictate the rituals of worship and belief.

THE FALL

  It is proclaimed, “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies,” Rev. 18:1-3.

  Did you know that this has happened? Do you know when it happened? Germany ended up having the authority of the western half of the Roman Empire under the Kaiser. Kaiser is the Latin and German way to say Caesar. The Russian Czar (also called the Tsar) had the power and authority of the eastern half of the Roman Empire. Czar is the Russian word for Caesar. Both the eastern and western halves of the Roman Empire fell at the close of World War I. Thus, the glory of Rome (Babylon) came to an end. But it also says that they became the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

  What rose out of the ashes of WWI was the doctrines of Socialism, Humanism, and Communism. Look at the evil inflicted in World War II not only by the Germans, but by the Russians, Communist Chinese, and the Japanese. During WWII the Germans and Japanese were very cruel and heartless. In the aftermath of WWII the Russians and Chinese slew as many of their own people as perished in the war.

YAHWEH IDENTIFIES MODERN BABYLON

  Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Yahweh. 15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of Yahweh: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. 16Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land….How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!” Jer. 50:14-16, 23.

  Remember that the sickle is the emblem of Cronus, Saturn, Cain. The hammer and sickle is the emblem of Communism, especially the Communism that pours forth from Moscow, Russia. The spirit of Cain is in the land of the Tsar. In these last days, he has and will continue to slay the righteous of Yahweh in order to try to castrate the Heavenly Father again.

  If you have read anything at all about the tactics of the Humanistic, Socialistic, Communists, then you know that they are very deceitful (a tactic of the serpent Satan). They eliminate any resistance, or suspected resistance through false accusations, imprisonment, torture, and death. They utilize the tactics of terrorism in order to obtain and maintain their control.

  There is yet to be another rise to power of a great scarlet colored beast and false prophet who will be defeated by the return of the true Heavenly King of Kings Yahshua the Messiah. He is the stone cut out without hands Who will smite the image on its toes.

  YAHWEH’S VENGEANCE

    Yahweh decrees His vengeance against Babylon. Most people have misunderstood the book of Daniel chapters 7 and 8. Chapters 2 and 7 reveal the succession of the world ruling kingdoms after the fall of Judah. Babylon is the first kingdom (head of gold in chapter 2; lion with eagle’s wings in chapter 7). Babylon is succeeded by Medo-Persia (chest and arms of silver in chapter 2; bear with three ribs in chapter 7). Medo-Persia is succeeded by the Grecko-Macedonian (belly and thighs of brass in chapter 2; leopard with four wings and heads in chapter 7). Then comes the fourth and final kingdom Rome (legs of iron in chapter 2; the great and terrible beast of chapter 7). But the fourth kingdom goes through the phases of iron, iron and potter’s clay, and iron and miry clay.

  While miry clay in Aramaic is tiyn (miry) chacaph (clay), in the Hebrew miry clay would be yaven (miry) tiyt (clay). As David cried out, “I waited patiently for Yahweh; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry (yaven) clay (tiyt), and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings,” Psa. 40:1-2.

  Again David cried, “Save me, O Elohim; for the waters are come in unto my soul. 2 I sink in deep mire (yaven), where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me,” Psa. 69:1-2.

  This is important to understand because the word yaven (miry) is associated with Yavan (Greek/Greece). What Daniel chapter 8 is revealing is the transfer of the power of the fourth kingdom, the iron kingdom, the dreadful and terrible kingdom, to the second Rome, Roma Nova by the emperor Constantine the Great (the little horn of Daniel 8). Constantine moved the power of the empire from old Rome to Constantinople, which is in the territory of Macedonia/Greece. Thus the kingdom was converted from iron to iron and clay (Roman/Greek).

  It is also interesting to note that the Hebrew words yaven/Yavan are associated with the Hebrew word yayin (wine). Constantine supposedly converted to the faith of the Messiah, but in reality, he entered into the corrupted remnants of the faith, took over as the Pontifex Maximus (high priest) and converted the faith to pagan sun worship. This would be the transfer to iron and clay of the feet.

  The power of the eastern kingdom was transferred one more time when the Ottoman Turks captured and destroyed Constantinople in 1453 CE. The power was transferred the Czars/Tsars of Moscow, Russia (the iron and miry clay). The Russian Orthodox Church is just an offshoot of the Greek Orthodox Church. Almost all Bible scholars uphold the belief that the New Testament was originally written in Greek, but the truth of the situation is that the Scriptures were first written in Hebrew and then converted to the Greek, Latin, Aramaic, etc. However the Greek spirit (Yavan/yaven) continues to this day.

  Chapter 8, of course, follows chapter 7 in chronology, but so does the change from iron to iron and potter’s clay, and this is what chapter eight is focusing on. Chapter 7 reveals a little horn that comes up among 10 horns which plucks up three of the horns by their roots (Dan. 7:8). This reveals the change of the Roman Republic to an empire under the hand of the Caesars. Augustus Caesar is this little horn. He speaks blasphemies because he is exalted to the position of the son of god, therefore the successive Caesars were all declared to be god.

  Interestingly, Yahshua, the true Son of Elohim was born during the reign of Augustus, the imposter son of god. The Caesars from Augustus were all declared to have the right of divinity through the office of Augustus. It was the agents of the imposter son of god who slew Yahshua.

  Now, let’s get to some of the prophecies that reveal Yahweh’s wrath against the fourth kingdom, which has inherited the power of Babylon.

  “Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee. 15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because Yahweh did drive them. 16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. 17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed. 18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is Yahweh of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant,” Jer. 46:14-19.

  “Oppressing” in the above verse is translated from the Hebrew word Yonah, but it is spelled hnwy in Hebrew. The Septuagint (LXX) translates this word as “GRECIAN!” Why would they translate it as Grecian? This is not revealed in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, but it is revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures; the spelling is yod (y), waw (w), nun (n), hei (h). The Hebrew characters (nwy) has caused them to translated it as Grecian. The last letter hei (h) simply makes it feminine.

  Again, Jeremiah records, “Jer 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. 7All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries (tsar) said, We offend not, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of justice, even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers. 8Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. 9For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. 10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith Yahweh. 11Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; 12Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. 13Because of the wrath of Yahweh it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. 14Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Yahweh. 15Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of Yahweh: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. 16Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land,” Jer. 50:6-16.

  Also, once again the word “oppressing” is translated from the Hebrew word Yonah (hnwy), which is translated as GRECIAN in the Septuagint (LXX).

    The prophet Zechariah also deals with this time of Yahweh’s wrath, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. 11As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 12Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; 13When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. 14And Yahweh shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and Adonai Yahweh shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 15Yahweh of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. 16And Yahweh their Elohim shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. 17For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids,” Zech. 9:9-17.

  Do you see that!? Do you understand that this event will take place when Yahshua returns on the day of Trumpets? Who does He identify as the enemy, the adversary, the Tsar? Isn’t it Greece? Babylon was transferred from Babylon to Medo-Persia, to Greco-Macedonia, to Rome, to Constantinople, to Moscow, Russia. The eastern half of the Roman Empire was Greek, not Latin. The adversary, the Tsar ruled over the eastern half of the empire.

  The Tsar Constantine has caused all people to descend into a pit or mire (yaven/Yavan). If you are following the edicts of Constantine and his successors, then you are sunken deeply into the miry pit! The adversary’s (Tsar’s) edicts go directly against the edicts, commandments of Yahweh. You must either pay heed to the adversary (Tsar) and suffer the consequences, or Yahweh and be delivered from the miry (yaven/Yavan) pit.

  Today, Yahweh decrees, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yahweh hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her
