MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
You should know that this author did not vote in the election because, in
essence, we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth, and we, being called to
the kingdom of heaven, don’t take part in the political things of the earthly
kingdom. Our trust is not in man, but in Yahweh. Daniel prayed, “Blessed be
the name of Yahweh for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he
changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and
setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and
knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret
things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him,”
Dan. 2:20-22.
The question is, did Yahweh have a hand in electing Donald Trump? I would
have to say “yes!” Look at all of the odds against him. The people, the
media, the politicians, Hollywood, the shadow government, Barak Obama, Hillary
Clinton, the elitists, all who have been involved in shaping the minds of the
people of this country and the world, LOST! Even the pompous leaders of the
Republican party, the party that he was voted to represent, were against him.
The media was crowing mightily that he was going to loose in a LANDSLIDE! The
heart, the middle, of the country didn’t follow their heads in New York or
California!
Don’t think I didn’t pray about the situation. My first prayer was for
Yahweh to please not put us under the spiritual Jezebel/Athaliah (Hillary
Clinton)! We are corrupting fast enough as it is under the supposed, Christian,
Muslim, Socialist, Communist administration of Barak Obama. (What is he,
really!? No one knew where he came from or what his life was like before his
election, and so much is still hidden from the view of the people.)
Furthermore, the chief proponents of this nation are the descendants of
Israel whose inheritance is eventually to be the kingdom of heaven, not the
socialist, humanistic, Communistic government of Esau/Amalek, or the forces of
the Ishmaelite, Moabite, Ammonite Islam!
Christianity, under the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Russian Orthodox
churches is practicing the religion of the Edomite kings of Europe. Atheistic
Communism is the spirit of the Amalekites who was the grandson of Esau through
his first son Eliphaz (my god is gold). Amalek feared not Elohim (Dt. 25:18).
The Communist doctrine has been known as the doctrine of the “Reds” from
its earliest beginnings. It just so happens that “Red” in Hebrew is Edom!
The Communists are descendants of Esau, as is the fourth kingdom of Daniel 2,
and the fourth beast of Daniel 7.
My prayer to Yahweh was also to remind Him that when Israel was to go
through Edom in their trek toward Canaan, that Yahweh told them, “Then we
turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as
Yahweh spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. And Yahweh spake
unto me, saying, Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you
northward. And command thou the people, saying, Ye
are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell
in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto
yourselves therefore: Meddle not with them; for I
will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a
possession,” Dt. 2:1-5.
You must understand, Esau sold his original birthright to Jacob (Israel) for
a bowl of “red” food, whence his nickname “Edom.” His original
inheritance would have included Yahweh’s kingdom, but his possession, his
kingdom then became that of Seir. The Hebrew Seir means, satyr, faun, goat, devil!
I reminded Yahweh that He had promised that He wouldn’t give so much as a
foot breadth of Esau’s possession, his inheritance, to His people Israel.
Seir’s (the devil’s) kingdom is a kingdom of great oppression. The true
people of Israel and Judah love liberty!
Now, we have so many people around the world and even here in this country
who will not give homage to the banner, the flag of this country. They want to
“burn” the flag, stamp on it, destroy it, but they, as well as our own
people are ignorant as to what it all means.
Thirteen, to so many people, is an unlucky number, and to many evangelists,
and Christian ministers, is the number of rebellion. This is because the people
of the land of Canaan, including the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, served the
king Chedorlaomer for 12 years, but rebelled against him in the 13th year (Gen.
14:4).
However, Jacob, upon adopting the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh as
his own, increased his sons to 13! (Gen. 48, esp. v. 5)
Look at the beginning of this nation. Yes, when the colonies became 13, they
rebelled against the oppressive king of England. The Israelites fought against
this king in earlier times in the guise of the war between the English king and
the Welsh who were called the Jacobites. Then the resistance turned to the Scots
who were called the Jacobites. Finally, it turned to the Irish who were also
called the Jacobites. The king of England eventually overcame them, excepting a
portion of the Irish, adding them to his kingdom and under his authority. But
the 13 colonies were victorious because Yahweh had a hand in establishing this
nation for the last days.
The original flag had thirteen stripes and thirteen stars. When this author
was born, it had increased to 48 stars/states. But stop to think about this,
thirteen is the equivalent to the Hebrew word “echad”, one! Echad is dxa in Hebrew. Aleph
(a) = 1, chet
(x) = 8, and dalet
(d) = 4. 1 + 8 + 4 = 13. The 13 colonies
rebelled and became one (echad)
nation!
But there is another very interesting Hebrew word that equals 13. That word
is the feminine Hebrew word for “love” (ahavah/hbha). Aleph
(a) = 1, hei
(h) = 5, beit
(b) = 2, hei
(h) = 5; 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 13.
Look at the odds that the colonists had to fight against! They were taking
on the greatest and most powerful army on the earth at that time, and England
was the most powerful kingdom in the world! The success of the Continental Army
had to have been by Divine intervention and design!
America is shown to this author to be the loving promise that Yahweh made to
his love, Abraham. The English Scriptures call Abraham Yahweh’s “friend,”
but the Hebrew word is the masculine word for “love,” “But thou, Israel,
art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend (ahav/bha
= love),” Isa. 41:8.
It is interesting that this masculine form of the Hebrew word ahav/bha/love
adds up to 8! Eight is the number for “new beginnings!”
Didn’t Yahweh make an unconditional covenant with Abraham to greatly bless
him and his posterity? America has been blessed to be that posterity. But our
people are ignorant of these things and maybe many of our blessings and gains
may have been ill-gotten, but have our leaders been like the leaders of Russia
(Lenin and Stalin), China (Mao), North Korea, or Cuba? Those leaders are/have
been so harsh, oppressive, and dictatorial that the people have been reduced to
starvation and poverty. (You should read of the histories of the nations, under
those leaders, and what the people went through!)
Atheistic Communism is the doctrine of demons! So is Islam!
Two more stars were added in the 1950’s when Alaska and Hawaii were added
as states to the Union (one/echad).
The number 50 is another quite important number to Yahweh and much is revealed
through it.
The alphabetical Hebrew letter nun
(n) is equivalent to 50. It looks like this n/n in the Pictorial and Paleo
Hebrew respectively. Look at the Pictorial version! It looks like a seed or
sperm! It has to do with a child, an heir! Therefore, you will find the greatest
preponderance of the heirs of Yahweh’s kingdom, both Israel and Judah in this
modern day nation of America!
Fifty is also the number of freedom, liberty, jubilee! Don’t we call this
land, the land of freedom and liberty? Of course, there is still too much
deception and ignorance in this country and that is because our people still
don’t know or love the TRUTH enough yet. Yahshua said, “You shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you free,” Jn. 8:32.
Yahshua is the truth, “Yahshua saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life,” Jn. 14:6. Since this
nation still doesn’t know the true Yahshua, then it isn’t totally free yet.
The Trump presidency appears to be encouraging and upbeat for this country,
but don’t forget, the subversives are still teaching in the colleges and
universities, filling the young minds of our young people with all kinds of
corruption and deceit.
There will be a firestorm of negative press (media) that will continue to
plague the country. Hollywood, and the politicians, especially the Democrats
will do everything they can to prevent the “good” designs that Mr. Trump may
have for this country. They will do everything that they can to “discredit”
him and his presidency. After all, they had this country on the road to
destructive Communism and Islam. Their designs have been “temporarily”
thwarted.
However, they don’t realize that Communism and Islam IS NOT Israel’s
inheritance. It may work for Esau, Ishmael, Moab, Ammon, etc., but not for
Israel, which includes Judah.
Will Mr. Trump be able to make America great again? That remains in the
hands of Yahweh. His triumph is similar to the victory of Ronald Reagan’s when
the country was in the hands of Democrat Jimmy Carter whose administration had
the economy in a tailspin similar to the present economic situation for most
people.
Ronald Reagan’s administration helped to turn this country around which
told the believers at that time, that there was more time left before the end of
the age, and the kingdom of heaven would arrive.
The current president has done much to weaken this country. His “open
door” policy has brought so many “illegal immigrants” into this country
who are receiving more economic support than its own people in need, including
the military (those serving and fighting to maintain the fewer and fewer
freedoms available).
The industrial might of this country is only a shell of its former self, and
he has done all he can to shut down much of the most vital oil and coal industry
in favor of “green” industry that simply doesn’t and can’t perform
efficiently and effectively.
The military has also been reduced in scope and power, with so many of the
more responsible and dedicated officers, generals, and soldiers forced into
retirement. Many of the remaining are foreigners, women, homosexuals,
transvestites, etc.
Furthermore, the “spiritual” condition of this country is at an all time
low! Our people have come to a worse condition than when Moses and Yahshua came
down and were shocked to see the golden calf and the people sitting down to eat
and drink and rising up to play (Ex. 32).
Moses was a type of Yahshua the Messiah, as well as Yahshua Ben Nun! When the true Messiah Yahshua returns, He will find His people doing the same things. They have been deceived to worship the “host of heaven," a thing that Yahweh hates.
Yahshua will destroy the evil leaders, and many of the people, but He and His disciples will begin to teach His people the truth and then they will truly be set free.
Even though Donald Trump may possibly reverse some things, and make conditions better for a little while, that is all it will be because bringing about better conditions to make America great again will only be superficial.
I
know that many people have "caring hearts" but they need leaders who
will lead them into "true values" that are based, founded on the
"spiritual" first. Scripture reveals that it won't be America,
but rather Jerusalem that will be made great again. JH
There is a chapter in the Scriptures that is
rarely referred to, but has deep meaning for our world today. Let’s take a
look at it and see what is being revealed.
By Jerry Healan
Before we get into
this chapter, let’s remember that the Scriptures are written and presented in
“parables, types, metaphors,” etc. Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of
Elohim to conceal a thing:
but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” Both
“thing” and “matter” are translated from the same Hebrew word, to wit, rbd
(dabar/davar) which is
generally translated as “word!” So it is the glory of Elohim to conceal (His)
word, and it is the honor/glory of kings to search out (His) word.
Yahshua, Himself, came speaking in parables to keep the
meanings hidden from all but His disciples, “1The same day went Yahshua out of the house,
and sat by the sea side. 2And
great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship,
and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3And he spake many
things unto them in parables…. 10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest
thou unto them in parables? 11He
answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall
have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even
that he hath. 13Therefore speak I to
them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand. 14And in them is
fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears
are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they
should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with
their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears,
for they hear. 17For verily I say unto
you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which
ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have
not heard them,” Mt. 13:1-3, 10-17.
The book of Hebrews also reveals that the tabernacle made
in the wilderness, along with its vessels, priesthood, sacrifices, etc., were a
“figure” for the time then present (See Heb. 9:1-9). The word “figure”
is translated from the Greek word parabole,
elsewhere translated as “parable!”
Therefore, we must search Yahweh’s word to discover the
hidden things! With this in mind, let’s begin our research in the book of
Zechariah.
“And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before
the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist
him,” Zech. 3:1. (KJV)
What isn’t revealed in the English is the Hebrew word
that “resist” is translated from. The name “Satan” is translated from !jf. So is the word “resist”! This would be
better translated into the English as, “And he shewed me AT-Yahshua (the
Hebrew reads “[vwhy-ta”) the high
priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to satan (satanize)
him!”
Who is this High Priest? He was the High Priest associated
with the rebuilding of the second temple upon the return of many of Judah to
Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity. But it is revealed later in the
chapter that he and the men with him are men of symbol, “8Hear now, O
Yahshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at:
for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. 9For behold the
stone that I have laid before Yahshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes:
behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Yahweh of hosts, and I will
remove the iniquity of that land in one day,” Zech. 3:8-9.
“For they are men wondered at” should be translated as
“for they are men of symbol!”
It is further revealed, “9And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying, 10Take of them of
the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from
Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of
Zephaniah; 11
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Yahshua the son of Yosedech, the high priest;
12And speak unto
him, saying, Thus speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, Behold
the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he
shall build the temple of Yahweh: 13Even he shall build the
temple of Yahweh; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his
throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall
be between them both. 14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to
Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the
temple of Yahweh. 15And
they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh, and ye shall
know that Yahweh of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if
ye will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your Elohim,” Zech. 6:9-15
Yahshua the son of Yosedech means “The
salvation of Yahweh son of the righteous Yahweh,” or “Yahweh the Savior, Son
of the Righteous Yahweh.” In other words, he is a type of Yahshua the Messiah
who is the only begotten Son of Yahweh, Who is High Priest after the order of
Melchizedek! (See Psa. 110:1-5; Heb. 5:1-11; 7:1-19.)
SATANIZING
How has Satan “resist-ed” (satanized) him? Let’s
continue reading, “2And
Yahweh said unto Satan, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Satan; even Yahweh that hath
chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 3Now Yahshua was
clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel,” Zech. 3:2-3.
“Filthy” is translated from the Hebrew word tsowim (~yaico) which is defined
as, soiled (as if excrementitious). (Strong’s
Exhaustive Concordance H6674). In other words, his garments have
been soiled with dung!
What does this mean? “1And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for
you. 2If
ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give
glory unto my name, saith Yahweh of hosts, I will even send a
curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them
already, because ye do not lay it to heart. 3Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall
take you away with it,” Mal. 2:1-3.
They refused to give glory unto His name, the name that we
must call upon for salvation, “30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in
the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible
day of Yahweh come. 32And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
name of Yahweh shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yahweh hath said,
and in the remnant whom Yahweh shall call,” Joel 2:30-32.
Peter, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, repeats
Joel’s statement, “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on
the name Yahweh shall be saved,” Acts 2:21.
And Paul writes, “For whosoever shall call upon the name
Yahweh shall be saved,” Ro. 10:13.
It is imperative that we consider how important Yahweh’s
name is! It is imperative that we treasure it! To not consider it important is
like turning away to DUNG and IDOLATRY!
Let’s take a look at the Hebrew word for “dung.” It
is peresh (vr,p,). It is defined as, from 6567; excrement (as
eliminated). (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance
H6569)
Since it’s from H6567, let’s take a look at that word;
vrp
parash,
a primitive root; to separate, literally (to disperse) or figuratively (to
specify); also (by implication) to wound. (IBID)
#H6567 is the very word from whence the word Pharisee is
derived! This is most important to understand! It is the Pharisees who have
forcibly removed the knowledge of the name Yahweh! While they haven’t removed
it from Scripture, they were careful to vowel point it so that either the words
Adonai, or Elohim were read instead of the true name. Today, they utilize the
term HaShem (the name). Their excuse is that it is “ineff-able” (unknowable,
unpronounceable) and thus, unknown. And besides, according to them, it is too
holy.
This is all “dung”! Yahweh blinded them so that they
would take the term Pharisee/Parash and have dung (vr,p,) on their faces and as their own term for
themselves. Modern day Rabbinic Judaism admits that they stem from the
Pharisees!
But now, even Christianity and Islam are
guilty of the same offences! They refuse to pay homage to the name of Salvation!
Many have coined the false “the Lord, God, Jehovah, Yehovah, Yahovah, Allah,
etc.” in place of Yahweh!
Furthermore, they refuse to even pay homage to the true name of the Savior
Yahshua! They have substituted Hesus, Yesus, Jesus, Isa (Eesah), etc., for His name!
CHANGE OF RAIMENT
Zechariah continues, “And he answered and spake unto
those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And
unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I
will clothe thee with change of raiment,”
3:4.
“Change of raiment” is the Hebrew word
machalatsot
twOcl̞x;>m;.
The root word is chalats
(xlc)
which is defined as, a primitive root; to pull off; hence (intensively) to
strip, (reflex.) to depart; by implication, to deliver, equip (for fight);
present, strengthen (Strong’s Exhaustive
Concordance H2502).
To pull off/to strip would have to do with changing from
the excrementitious garments of weakness/dung, departing from idolatry and
turning to Yahweh and His truth.
A look at this word and how it is utilized throughout
Scripture is quite revealing.
Hosea writes, “1Hear ye this, O
priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O
house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on
Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 2And the revolters are profound to make
slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. 3I know Ephraim,
and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest
whoredom, and Israel is defiled. 4They will not frame their
doings to turn unto their Elohim: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of
them, and they have not known Yahweh. 5And the pride of
Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and
Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
6They shall go with
their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they shall not find him;
he hath withdrawn (chalats)
himself from them. 7They have dealt treacherously
against Yahweh: for
they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their
portions. 8Blow
ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after
thee, O Benjamin. 9Ephraim
shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made
known that which shall surely be. 10The princes of Judah were like them that
remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 11Ephraim is
oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the
commandment. 12Therefore will I
be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 13When Ephraim saw
his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and
sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 14For I will be unto
Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will
tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. 15I will go and
return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in
their affliction they will seek me early,” Hos. 5:1-15.
Do you get the point here? The priesthood was supposed to
teach the people the truths of Yahweh, but they and the people desired to
worship the false pagan deities of the people around them. Then, as now, there
are few, so very few who truly desire to know Yahweh. They love the beast’s
Sunday rest and gatherings, as well as the holiday system rather than the
holyday of Yahweh. The name of salvation, Yahweh, and the true name of the
Savior , Yahshua, is forsaken and forgotten. His own Word has had the true names
removed from it, and substituted either common nouns, or false pagan names. If
the Israelite Levitical priesthood failed, then why do we think that any other
priesthood from the pagans would be any better? The only way for the truth to
prevail is through the Spirit of Truth, which is the Holy Spirit.
Yahshua told the Samaritan woman, “Yahweh is Spirit: and
they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in
truth,” Jn. 4:24. Furthermore, John writes, “I have not
written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that
no lie is of the truth,”
1 Jn. 2:21.
The
priesthoods and people have withdrawn (chalats) from Him, so He, in turn, has effectively withdrawn (chalats) from them until
the time that they will turn to Him and give Him the proper honor, worship, and
authority that belongs to Him in SPIRIT and TRUTH! This means that we must also
become involved in the process of changing His garments from that of paganism,
idolatry, dung to the purity that belongs to Yahweh through His own chosen High
Priest after the order of Melchizedek, Yahshua the Messiah!
DELIVERANCE
Scripture reveals that another meaning for chalats is “deliverance.” The filthy garments are
not garments of deliverance, but when the garments are changed (machalasot) then
“deliverance” (chalats) will take place.
David wrote, “1I will bless Yahweh at all times: his praise
shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul shall make her boast in Yahweh: the
humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3O magnify Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his name
together.
4I sought Yahweh,
and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and
their faces were not ashamed. 6This
poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of
Yahweh encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth (chalats) them.”
David was a Messiah, an anointed one. He did all of his
great feats in Yahweh’s name and Yahweh delivered him every time.
“7Hear,
O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am
Elohim, even thy Elohim. 8I
will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been
continually before me. 9I
will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. 10For every beast of
the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11I know all the
fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12If I were hungry,
I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13Will I eat the
flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14Offer unto Elohim thanksgiving; and pay thy
vows unto the most High: 15And
call upon me in the day of trouble: I will
deliver (chalats) thee, and thou shalt glorify me,” Psa. 50:7-15.
“3Blow
up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 4For
this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the Elohim of Jacob. 5This he ordained
in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I
heard a language that I understood not. 6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his
hands were delivered from the pots. 7Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered (chalats) thee; I answered
thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.
Selah. 8Hear, O my people,
and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 9There shall no
strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange elohim. 10I am Yahweh thy
Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I
will fill it,” Psa. 81:3-10.
“Because thou hast made Yahweh, which is my refuge, even
the most High, thy habitation; 10There
shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11For he shall give
his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12They shall bear
thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13Thou shalt tread
upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under
feet. 14Because
he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15He
shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will
deliver (chalats)
him, and honour him. 16With
long life will I satisfy him, and shew
him my salvation,” Psa. 91:10-16.
Yahweh testifies against His people because they have
departed from Him and His ways. No manner of animal sacrifice can now satisfy
Him. He has provided His own sacrifice, that of his only begotten Son Who is
Melchizedek who originally was, “Without father, without mother, without
descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto
the Son of Elohim; abideth a priest continually,” Heb. 7:3.
There are many other places which speak of
Yahweh’s deliverance (chalats)
of His people, but there are other avenues to explore.
ARMED
Chalats also has to do
with arming with weaponry for war, “1And
Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, 2Avenge the children of Israel of the
Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. 3And Moses spake
unto the people, saying, Arm
(chalats) some of yourselves unto the war,
and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge Yahweh of Midian. 4Of every tribe a
thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 5So there were
delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve
thousand armed (chalats) for war.
6And Moses sent
them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar
the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in
his hand. 7And
they warred against the Midianites, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they slew all
the males. 8And
they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely,
Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also
the son of Beor they slew with the sword. 9And the children of Israel took all the women
of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their
cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 10And they burnt all
their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 11And they took all
the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts,” Num. 31:1-10.
This would be a type of the war in the future when Yahshua
returns to vent His anger on the Babylonian system. All of the kings and leaders
will be overthrown for their participation in the great chaotic, false worship
that has aided the serpent Satan to keep the world steeped in deception. He has
deceived the leaders of the Babylonian system to cause the people, the sheep to
follow a false pagan system of worship of the sun (Sunday), moon (Allah), and
the host of heaven (the Jewish Masonic Kabbalists). All of the leaders have been
willing participants in this false idolatrous system for the purpose of
aggrandizing themselves and lining their pockets with the wealth of this world.
Yahweh is soon going to fulfill Zechariah 3:2, “Yahweh
said unto Satan, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Satan; even Yahweh that hath chosen
Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?”
It is revealed, “7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8And prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10And I heard a loud
voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of
our Elohim, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is
cast down, which accused them before our Elohim day and night. 11And they overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved
not their lives unto the death,” Rev. 12:7-11.
Satan is going to be rebuked. Yahshua, in His capacity as
Michael the Archangel (See our article entitled “Who
Is The Archangel Michael”), fight against, and will cast Satan into
the abyss for 1,000 years (Rev. 20:1-3).
Sadly, the overall preponderance of Christian ministers
realize that Christmas, Easter, Sunday, etc., are of pagan, idolatrous origin.
Sadly, the Jewish Rabbis reject Yahshua as the Messiah, and will not even
utilize the true name of the Creator, nor the Messiah. Sadly, the Muslim Mullahs
will only give credence to the moon god Allah who will bring “the curse” (Al
= the, Ilah = curse). Satan has deceived the world to clothe Yahshua in filthy
dung laden, idolatrous garments. Unless they repent, and that right soon, they
will pay the ultimate penalty.
For Yahshua’s followers, we must strip those filthy garments off of Him so that He will be clothed with the pure garments of Yahweh’s word of truth, and we must take Yahweh’s
So many of you have been writing and asking for our second
booklet of the Hebrew alphabet. Please be patient; it is still in the process of
being written. There are three more letters to explore after this one, which
means that we should have a complete version issue #2 around the end of 2017.
The Qof is the next letter for us to focus on so let’s get started so we can
see what revelations will be in store for us.
By Jerry Healan
The qof is the 19th letter of the
Hebrew alphabet and it looks like this q/q/q in Pictorial, Paleo, and Modern Hebrew
respectively. It would be equivalent to our Q. It serves numerically as 100.
While the more ancient Pictorial Hebrew pictures the sun crossing the
horizon, the Paleo and Modern versions picture the back of the head.
Robert Haralick writes, “...its energy intelligence is that of growth and
holiness. Growth and holiness are related to the pulsating unbridled force of
the letter a, whose numerical value is 1,
thrust into cosmic existence. And it is related to the energy intelligence of
spirituality, y,
whose numerical value is 10,” (The Inner Meaning of
the Hebrew letters, p. 269).
As we have discovered, the aleph (a/a)
is the mouth of El because the spelling of the word in the Pictorial Hebrew (pla) means exactly that.
The aleph (a) is that which is first,
chief, the head, the strength, etc. while
the lamed
(l) pictures the rod of
authority, shepherd’s rod, etc. Thus, the first two letters make up the Hebrew
El, which would mean “Mighty One, Strong Authority, Chief Shepherd, etc.,
while the peh (p) is the picture of a mouth.
Let’s understand this, “1Give
unto Yahweh, O ye mighty, give unto Yahweh glory and strength. 2Give unto Yahweh the glory
due unto his name; worship Yahweh in the beauty of holiness. 3The voice of Yahweh is upon the waters: the El
of glory thundereth: Yahweh is upon many waters. 4The voice
of Yahweh is powerful; the voice
of Yahweh is full of majesty. 5The voice of Yahweh breaketh the cedars; yea,
Yahweh breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6He maketh them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7The voice
of Yahweh divideth the flames of fire. 8The voice
of Yahweh shaketh the wilderness; Yahweh shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9The voice
of Yahweh maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his
temple doth every one speak
of his glory. 10Yahweh
sitteth upon the flood; yea, Yahweh sitteth King for ever. 11Yahweh will give
strength unto his people; Yahweh will bless his people with peace,” Psa.
29:1-11.
It is the voice of Yahweh Who
identifies Himself in this Psalm as the El (ha-El/lae) that does all these things
and much, much more. The voice, of course, comes from the mouth, thus the aleph (pla),
being the first letter, reveals the beginning of all things as we read in Psa.
33, “1Rejoice
in Yahweh, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. 2Praise Yahweh with harp: sing
unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 3Sing unto him a new song;
play skilfully with a loud noise. 4For the word of Yahweh is right;
and all his works are done in truth. 5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the
earth is full of the goodness of Yahweh. 6By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made; and all the host of them
by the breath of his mouth….9For he spake, and it was done; he
commanded, and it stood fast,” Psa. 33:1-6, 9.
The yod (y) is a picture of a hand of which it is said,
“12Hearken
unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the
last. 13Mine
hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned
the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together,” Isa. 48:12-13.
Here is the Word of Yahweh, the aleph
(a/a/a) bringing forth in power,
and the hand (y/y/i) sending forth for increase,
now the qof
(q/q/q) brings about “growth and
holiness”. As Psa. 102:25 proclaims, “Of old hast thou laid the foundation
of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.”
Thus, 1 (a) x 10 (y) x 10 (y)
= 100 (q)!
The modern aleph
(a) consists of two yods (y)
and a diagonal waw/vav (w). 10 (y)
+ 10 (y) + 6 (w) = 26 which is equivalent to the name Yahweh
(hwhy); 5 (h) + 6 (w)
+ 5 (h) + 10 (y) = 26.
The modern qof (q)
consists of a kaf (k) and a waw/vav
(w). k
= 20, w = 6; 20 + 6 = 26! Thus, we
see Yahweh in both letters in the Modern Hebrew! This is the reason this author
prefers to utilize all three Hebrew alphabet versions. The three together are
quite revelatory!
HOLY
One of the primary Hebrew words for holy is qodesh
(vd,qo). Utilizing the Paleo Hebrew version of
this word (cdq),
we can learn somewhat as to what this word means. The qof (q) is the picture of the back
on one’s head, the dalet
(d) is the picture of a door,
and the shin (c)
is a picture of teeth with which we eat, consume, destroy. Therefore, to become
“holy” (cdq)
we must turn our head away (q) from the door (d) to destruction (c).
Yahweh told Israel, “44For
I am the Yahweh your Elohim: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy:
neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth. 45For
I am Yahweh that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy,”
Lev. 11:44-45.
The Apostle Peter repeats this, “13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be
sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
revelation of Yahshua the Messiah; 14As obedient children, not fashioning
yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15But as he which hath
called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written,
Be ye holy; for I am holy,” 1 Pet. 1:13-16.
This author was in a group discussing this very word, because we found that
one version of this word is defined as; 1to be (causatively, make, pronounce or observe
as) clean (ceremonially or morally); but another version was defined as; 2a
(quasi) sacred person, i.e. (technically) a (male) devotee (by prostitution) to
licentious idolatry, and is generally interpreted as:- sodomite, unclean.
We understood the word in the first definition because of the Paleo Hebrew
version, but we couldn’t understand how it could also apply to the second
version. Our meeting ended in perplexity. Then about 3:00 a.m. the next morning
I was awakened out of my sleep thinking about the previous evening’s
discussion. I was led to think about the Pictorial Hebrew version of the qof (q),
and then the answer came.
The Pictorial version looks like the sun on the horizon q which occurs twice in a day,
of course, once in the morning and secondly in the evening. It just so happens
that Yahweh’s tabernacle that was built in the wilderness was always arranged
so the holiest place was positioned in the west with the only opening facing
east. A worshipper of Yahweh had to turn to the west to face Yahweh’s
habitation. This is a type of repenting of sun worship by turning from the
eastern sunrise worship, to turning to the west and to the worship of Yahweh.
The Prophet Ezekiel revealed, “1And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the
sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the
elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of Adonai Yahweh fell there upon
me. 2Then
I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of
his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance
of brightness, as the colour of amber. 3And he put forth the form of
an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between
the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of Elohim to Jerusalem,
to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat
of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. 4And, behold, the glory of the
Elohim of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. 5Then
said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So
I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate
of the altar this image of jealousy
in the entry. 6He
said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? Even the great
abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off
from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations. 7And he brought me to the door of the court;
and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 8Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now
in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 9And he said unto me, Go in,
and behold the wicked abominations that they do
here. 10So
I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping
things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 11And there stood before
them seventy men
of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah
the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of
incense went up. 12Then
said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of
Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? For they say,
Yahweh seeth us not; Yahweh hath forsaken the earth. 13He said also unto me,
Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations that they do. 14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of
Yahweh’s house which was toward the north; and, behold,
there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 15Then said he unto me,
Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16And he brought me into
the inner court of Yahweh’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of
Yahweh, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with
their backs toward the temple of Yahweh, and their faces toward the
east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
17Then he said unto me,
Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a
light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they
commit here? For they have filled the
land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger:
and, lo, they put the branch to their nose,” Ez. 8:1-17.
The point is that you can be considered to be holy by the world for
worshipping the sun, and the other abominable things listed here. You can be a
male prostitute, female prostitute, Sodomite (homosexual), etc. and still be
counted as holy by the world, but not by Yahweh. Those who are holy to Him are
those who worship Him and become holy as He is holy.
It says that because of the abominations, that the earth is filled with
violence. The Hebrew word for violence is “Hamas!” Hamas was raised up to
“violently” overthrow the modern day nation of Israel (Judah). The reason is
that they are still doing all of the abominations in the land! They still pray
to the east every morning utilizing the excuse that they are praying toward
Jerusalem, which is revealed to be Sodom and Egypt in the book of Revelation
11:8.
Of course, Christianity has been deceived
to also worship the sun, by changing the day of worship from the Sabbath to
Sunday. Easter is also the worship of Ishtar and her consort Tammuz as is
revealed by the Prophet Ezekiel above. This must all be repented of!
THE APES
Another interesting thing about
the full spelling of the letter qof
(@wOq) is that this word also means monkey, or
ape!
Scripture reveals that man was made in the image of Elohim. But man has
turned away from his great Creator and now, through the teaching of evolution,
he believes that he descended from apes!
Robert Haralick writes, “When man does not elevate himself beyond the
ordinary, when man does not act in a way to create sacredness, when man does not
endow his situation with holiness, man is no more than an ape,”
(The Inner
Meaning of the Hebrew Letters, p. 269).
Michael Monk writes, “The spelling of the letter @wq is the same as that of @wq, monkey.
Twice in Biblical times when men forfeited their own image of the Creator
and denied His existence, their physiognomy changed and they came to resemble
apes. The first time this occurred was in the generation of Enosh (Bereishis Rabba 23:5), when people began to
make idols and call them gods (Targum Yonasan,
Bereishis Rabba 4:26). The second time was when people built
the tower of Babel and tried to gain mastery over the entire human race (Chizkuni) and to dispense with God (R’ Hirsch). Subsequently they lost their potential
share in the World to Come and turned into apes, spirits, and demons (Sanhedrin 109a).
The fact that the same letter q
represents both kedushah
(holy) and an animal that is a parody of humanity offers a deep insight about
man’s role. Man is created in the image of God and is only a little lower than
the angels (Psalms 8:6). Though he can
never attain God’s holiness, he is charged with emulating Him and is assured
that he can scale celestial heights. If man acts as an “image of God,” his
potential is boundless. If he is merely a poor imitation of what man should be,
he is hardly better than a primate,” (The Wisdom
in the Hebrew Alphabet, p. 198).
Ytizchak Ginsburgh writes, “The Arizal explains that the monkey is the
intermediate state between animal and man. The Midrash states that the
descendants of Cain (who murdered his “human” brother, Abel)
“degener-ated” into monkeys.
A monkey is a false imitation or “copy” (from the Hebrew @wq) of man. The book of Ecclesiastes (Kohelet, tlhq, which begins with a kuf; the two subsequent letters lh, allude to lbh, “vanity”) begins: “Vanity of vanities
said Kohelet, vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” This alludes to the seven
vanities of this world (according to the principle: “the plural indicates at
least two,” “vanity of vanities” implies three vanities; “all is
vanity” brings the total number of vanities to seven).
According to one interpretation of the Sages, these seven vanities refer to
seven periods, or seven “worlds” through which one passes in life. In each
world one is likened to a different creature. First, when born and placed in a
crib, one is like a king, to whom all come to bow down and give homage. At the
age of two, one crawls the floor sticking his fingers into filth like a pig.
Later, at the age of ten, one jumps and plays like a goat. At eighteen one combs
his hair and runs after a mate like a horse. After marriage one bears the burden
of earning a livelihood as a donkey. Later, with a large family to support, one
barks after livelihood with insolence, like a dog. Finally comes the difference:
if, through one’s first six worlds of vanity, one remained close and devoted
to Torah, one ends his life on earth as a king, this time a real king (though, the Torah of this world, before
the coming of Mashiach, is itself considered “vanity” relative to the inner
truth of the Torah, the inner essence of malchut [kingdom] inherent in Torah to be
revealed by Mashiach).
If, however, one strayed from Torah, one ends his life like a monkey. Thus, the
monkey symbolizes the epitome of the vanity of this world,” (The Alef-Beit, p. 286).
Here is the point that Yahshua the Messiah tried to get across! The
Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes were trusting in themselves that they were
righteous, but that righteousness was only a vain “self-righteousness.” They
were trusting in themselves!
Yahshua said, “10Two
men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a
publican. 11The
Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, Elohim, I thank thee, that I am not
as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12I
fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13And the publican,
standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote
upon his breast, saying, Elohim be merciful to me a sinner. 14I tell you, this man
went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be
exalted,” Lk. 18:10-14.
He also said, “1I
am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit
he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may
bring forth more fruit. 3Now
ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can
ye, except ye abide in me. 5I
am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6If a man abide not in me, he
is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them
into the fire, and they are burned. 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8Herein is my Father
glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples,” Jn. 15:1-8.
Torah without the Messiah is vanity!
Sadly, our world today happily receives the teaching and belief that we
evolved from monkeys, apes. This is the evidence that most in our world are in
denial of their Creator and are in the process of losing out on the potential of
real fulfillment in this world, and possibly lose out on the world to come.
THE MARRIAGE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND HOLINESS
L. Grant Luton writes, “As holiness and righteousness are inseparable in
the life of the godly person, likewise kof
(q) is an integral part of the word qydc (tzaddik,
“righteous one”). Note that this word starts with tzaddi (c),
the letter of “righteousness”, and ends with kof
(q). Righteousness must be married to holiness.
When we try to be righteous apart from being holy, our righteous acts are but
filthy rags. (Isa. 65:6) By the same token, when we claim holiness but do not
live righteously, such “holiness” is fruitless and lukewarm at best and is
nauseating in God’s view. (Rev. 3:15-16)
Holiness that is a result of our relationship with God is pictured in the
construction of kof
(q). Kof
is comprised of a kaf
(k) suspended over a vav (w),
As you may recall, kaf
(k) means “palm” of the hand, and vav (w)
represents a man. The arrangement of these two letters forming kof (q)
creates the picture of a man under the covering of God’s hand. Could there be
a more apt picture of holiness than this? One who has forsaken worldliness so as
to unite with God has truly come under God’s protective hand. This may be the
picture the psalmist had in mind when he wrote of people being under the
“shadow of His wings.” (Psa. 17:8) In fact, the Hebrew word for wing—@nk (kanof)
- begins with the letter kaf
(k).
If we add the numerical values of these two letters—k (20) and w
(6) - we arrive at the number 26—the number of God’s name *YHWH (hwhy). This illustrates that God’s name and
presence dwell with the man who maintains a holy relationship with God.
*(NOTE: this man knows Yahweh’s name but, as the rest of the world,
refuses to utilize it.)
In Aramaic, the name of the letter kof is pronounced kufa (apWq),
which means “eye of a needle.” Yeshua said, “Indeed, it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom
of God. (Lk. 18:25) In speaking of the
“eye of the needle”, could Yeshua, who spoke and taught in Aramaic, have
been referring to the letter kufa
(q)? Could He have been saying the it is easier
for a camel to pass through a q
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God?- that a camel of “holiness”
has a better chance of entering God’s kingdom than a man of riches? It is
certainly something to ponder.” (In His Own
Words, pp. 194-195)
PSALMS 17
Psalms 17 has been somewhat misinterpreted and misunderstood. The KJV, verse
1 reads, “Hear the right, O Yahweh, attend unto my cry, give ear
unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned
lips.”
The Hebrew says, hwhy h[̞m.vi” qd,c,” (Remember that Hebrew reads from
right to left). In other words, David is praying, “Hear O righteous Yahweh.”
Yahweh is the “Righteous One!” David understood that, but men, trusting in
themselves that they can be, or are righteous, misinterpreted this verse.
The word “feigned” is translated from the Hebrew word mirmah (hm̞r.mi)
which should be translated as “craft.” It is rightly translated in Daniel
8:25, “And through his policy also he shall cause craft
(mirmah) to prosper in his hand; and he shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also
stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.”
Notice who is practicing this mirmah,
this craft! It is the little horn who we have identified to be Constantine
Caesar, the Roman Emperor, head of the BEAST!
Furthermore, mirmah
can be translated as “from Rome!” The first mem
(m) in the word mirmah
(hm̞r.mi) would give the idea of “from.” hmr is from #7411 in Strong’s Exhaustive
Concordance being ramah
and defined as; feminine active participle of 7311; a height (as a seat of
idolatry). This is exactly what Rome (Roma/romah)
became!
Verse 4 says, “Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”
Here again, is a word that is translated as “robber” elsewhere. It is
the Hebrew word periyts (cyrp), from whence we obtain the English word
“pirates!” The pirates (periyts)
are robbers (periyts) who ply the sea
under the banner of “Skull and Bones!”
Verse 7 focuses on Yahshua who is Yahweh’s right hand, “Shew thy
marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand
them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them!” Our
salvation and righteousness is in Him!
Verse 8 says, “Keep me as the apple (s/b pupil) of the eye, hide me under the shadow
of thy wings.”
“The Shadow” is translated from lceB.
(betzel). Furthermore, in verse 6, He is called
El (lae).
This hearkens to the man who Yahweh utilized to build the tabernacle and all
of its appurtenances. His name was Bezaleel (lalcB) which means “In the shadow of El!”
When all of the letters of the name Bezaleel are added up, the numerical
equivalent is 153! B
= 2, c = 90, l = 30, a
= 1, l = 30. 2 + 90 + 30 + 1 + 30 =
153.
It just so happens that if we add all of the integers of the number 17 (1 +
2 + 3 + 4 +…..17) the sum will be 153! Yahshua died on the 14th day of the
month. Three days and three nights later is the 17th when He was resurrected.
This is the lesson not only of Bezaleel, but of the 153 fishes that
Yahshua’s disciples caught after they had fished all night without catching
anything, but when He told them to cast the net on the RIGHT side of the boat,
they caught 153 fishes!
Yahshua is at the right hand of the Father (Psa. 110:1-5; Heb. 1:13; 1 Pet.
3:22). He is the One of whom Bezaleel was a type, a forerunner.
We must come under the shadow of His wing (kanaph/pnk). He is our righteousness (tziddeq/qdc).
Yahshua lamented, “37O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are
sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, (~ypnk/qanaphim) and ye would not! 38Behold, your house is
left unto you desolate. 39For
I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of Yahweh,” Mt. 23:37-39.
Verse 15 is the conclusion of the Psalm as well as the conclusion of the
life of those who trust in Yahweh through Yahshua, “As for me, I will behold
thy face in righteousness (qd,c,):
I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
This is the theme of “growth and holiness!” Peter encourages, “But
grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Sovereign and Saviour Yahshua the
Messiah. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
2 Pet. 3:18.
ISAAC
Yahweh, Himself, utilized the tzaddi
(c) and qof
(q) in a masterful and revelatory manner in
Abraham’s and Sarah’s son Isaac (qxcy).
“13For
the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to
his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness (qd,c,) of faith. 14For if they which are
of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15Because the law
worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16Therefore it is of
faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all
the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the

Their bodies were now dead for the purpose of reproduction, but Yahweh (y) restored their bodies to life (chay/yx [x]). Remember that the chet (x) is the eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and eight is the number for new beginnings!
