Stand Out and Be Noticed
In the Spirit of Yah…
Dowd | David represents far more than one man. He is Yahuwdah and Yisra’el. Here is proof…
“A Song (shyr – lyrics and melody with instrumentation for singing) for the thoughtful ascent (ha ma’alah – for the steps of those walking up the stairway on the ultimate journey of the mind to the most elevated destination; from mah – to ponder the implications of ‘alah – ascending).
During troubling circumstances, while being confined and diminished by the pen of a vexing rival (ba ha tsarah – in times of anguish and distress over being limited by a direct competitor, having my scope and purpose narrowed by the foe) of mine (la ‘any), I summoned and called out (qara’ – I invited and welcomed, I met with and encountered, I read aloud and recited) to (‘el) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), and He answered me (wa ‘anah ‘any – and He replied, responding to me).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:1)
This is the first time we have heard of it, and yet, just as we should have expected, Dowd wrote a song for us to sing as we thoughtfully ascend to Heaven. Throughout our journey of discovery through the Word, we will sing his Songs as we explore life, dimensions, and time. And at any 569point along the way, should we find ourselves in troubling circumstances, we can call upon Yahowah and expect Him to answer.
Enduring tsarah places Dowd in Yisra’el’s shoes, as we quickly approach the Time of Ya’aqob’s Tsarah | Troubles in which the tiny nation will be tsarah | diminished in size, constrained and restricted. In Dowd’s case, it is a tsarah | vexing rival named Sha’uwl | Paul who would impose these limitations, attempting to reduce Dowd to a mere sperm donor.
When we qara’ | invite Yahowah into our lives, He ‘anah | responds. The reciprocal should also be true. It is in our interests to ‘anah | answer each of God’s seven annual qara’ | invitations to meet with Him.
However, should we prefer the siren song of another, and have our vessel lured to its demise, there are less credible options. But be aware, in this prophetic supplication, the lip, the liar, the treacherous tongue, and the source promoting false beliefs is singular. Dowd was inspired to write this about one extraordinarily duplicitous and deceitful, albeit popular, individual.
“Yahowah (YaHoWaH), You and I are in accord because it is my decision and Your will to deliver and spare (natsal – You want what I desire which is for You to rescue, defend, and save (hifil imperative paragogic he cohortative second-person masculine singular)) my soul (nepesh ‘any – my consciousness, my ability to be observant and respond, my inner nature including my attitude and attributes) from the misleading and deceptive lips of the liar (min saphah seqer – from false and mistaken speech, from the language of the irrational and unreasonable one, and from the mouth that that utters vain, fraudulent, and incorrect statements) and from the treacherous tongue promoting false beliefs (min lashown ramyah – away from the dimwitted and sloppy 570words, from the tongue which is uncontrolled and undisciplined).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:2)
There is no excuse for the toxic implications of Christianity because tens of millions of Yahuwdym | Jews suffered abuse and death as a result of the religion. What began with Sha’uwl | Paul would become the world’s most lethal plague.
Having written four volumes exposing and condemning Paul, I can attest that his every word was misleading. He penned irrational letters and spoke in unreasonable fashion. He knowingly perpetrated a deliberate fraud.
Sha’uwl was also undisciplined and dimwitted. He constantly contradicted himself and committed all manner of logical fallacies. By using seqer and ramyah, Dowd correctly assessed his foe.
These questions also pertain to one individual man…
“What will be set forth and appointed because of you (mah nathan la ‘atah – who and what will be presented and offered by you, placed and put before you, and appointed and brought about concerning you)?
Why are you carrying on this way, how much more of this will be added by you in your repeated desire to create another edition (wa mah yasaph la ‘atah – so what additionally will come from you and what is the basis of your increases, why are there different people associated) with your undisciplined and deceitful tongue (lashown ramyah – on account of your treacherous statements and false beliefs, because of your misguided and misconstrued words, even your spoken deceptions and outright fraud)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:3)
It is a perplexing question. Why would a Jew create a religion designed to degrade and demonize Jews? Of all people, why rob God’s Son, the Messiah, Savior, and 571King? Why misquote the Towrah to justify a religion based upon contradicting and disparaging Yah’s testimony? Why would anyone put their faith in a religion when its most prolific author claimed that God authorized him to negate all of His previous promises?
How did a religion so obviously fabricated upon irrationally misappropriating what Yahowah said of Dowd and Yisra’el deceive billions? Life's greatest enigma is the enduring popularity of Sha'uwl | Paul, who lied through his teeth and was obviously demon-possessed. This is why rabbis sought to counter the irrational appeal of Sha’uwl’s religion with lies of their own instead of simply disproving it.
It had to be disappointing and embarrassing for the Messiah and Son of God. His people denied his courageous achievement of providing their very salvation.
“The divisive projectiles (chets – the weapons and missiles which create separation along with the piercing darts which divide; from chatsats – to divide and separate) of the Gibowr | Competent and Courageous Defender (gibowr – of the empowered champion who is an impactful leader, the manly man and hero of God’s story) are sharp, piercing (shanan – cutting), and burning, like a bolt of lightning (‘im gachal – with hot embers and live coals), to bind up and sweep away (ratham – to attach to a broom).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:4)
Dowd is the Gibowr | Courageous and Competent Defender of Yisra’el. And his most chets | divisive projectiles are words like these. No one wielded them with greater aplomb. His rhetoric is piercing and his wit sharp, collectively as focused, powerful, and explosive as a bolt of lightning.
As for ratham, we have insufficient data to be definitive in deducing its intended meaning. However, 572based upon its infrequently used actionable root, after piercing his foe and incinerating his absurd proposition, Dowd intends to collect the resulting carnage and sweep it away.
This next line is also thought-provoking…
“This distressing warning from me (‘owyah la ‘any – this is troubling and intensely sorrowful to me and it serves as notice from me) is because (ky – expressly for the reason and as a result of the fact), for a period of time, I have endured as an alien to be conspired against (guwr – I dwelt as a stranger and experienced attacks (qal perfect – literally at some point in time)) by being seized control of and dragged away (meshek – by being drawn out and pulled away over a prolonged period of time, being taken possession of, son of Yepheth, grandson of Noach) such that I have dwelt (shakan – I closely associated with foreigners; from shakab – to lie with in the sense of having sexual relations and shakah – to lustfully copulate (qal perfect)) among (‘im – with and near) the tents (‘ohel) of Qedar | Darkness and Mourning (Qedar – to be dimmed and darkened, grieving as a result of having no access to the light, son of Yshma’‘el | Ishmael, a nomadic tribe from the Arabian Desert serving as a harbinger of Islam).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:5)
Meshek is mentioned in Bare’syth / Genesis 10:2 as one of Noach’s grandsons through Jepheth. His brothers included Magog and Tubal who were immortalized in Ezekiel – Satan’s autobiography. Satan would fantasize that Gog from Magog would wage war against Israel just prior to his triumphant arrival in Jerusalem as the peacemaker. During the Devil’s grand celebration, which I have dubbed the Feast of the Beast, Dowd is on the menu. The participants are encouraged to eat his flesh and drink his blood in keeping with the Roman Catholic Eucharist. Therefore, this distressing warning from Dowd is an 573admonishment encouraging Yisra’elites to avoid becoming entangled in Ezekiel’s wicked web.
Apart from Ezekiel, the other mention of Meshek is found in a retelling of Noach’s genealogy in 1 Chronicles 1:5. Therefore, Meshek isn’t a place but, instead, a clue.
The verbal root, mashak, speaks of seizing control of someone, drawing them out, dragging and pulling them away from something over a prolonged period of time and then acquiring it, taking possession of it for oneself. And curiously, mashak is listed immediately after Mashyach | Messiah in each of the many Hebrew lexicons in my possession. And that’s one hell of a clue since this is precisely what Peter and Paul did when founding the Christian religion.
Even if we were sufficiently ignorant to take Ezekiel’s bait and pretend that Meshek described a geographical location associated with Noach’s grandson, it would have been in Anatolia (modern Turkey) and likely in the region between the shores of the Black Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. These are places where Dowd never tread.
Qedar | Darkness and Mourning is a bit more complicated because, while it makes an appearance in Ezekiel, it describes a location in Arabia in both Yasha’yah and Yirma’yah. However, it is obviously another clue because being a descendant of Ishmael, causing grief, personifying darkness, and coming out of Arabia collectively scream Islam, where Satan is worshiped as God and Jews are hunted as prey. Therefore, Qedar is a dire warning.
Nonetheless, should you prefer to limit Qedar to an unknown place in Arabia, Dowd was never there. And this means that we must translate the word to understand its intent.
574To explain Dowd’s whereabouts, it is germane to state that his battles on behalf of Yahuwdah and Yisra’el were defensive and thus limited to enemies trying to invade his nation. He was not a conqueror seeking to expand his realm. Accordingly, he had no reason to chase nomads through the Arabian Desert nor seek to subdue the Hittites, who likely controlled the area attributed to Meshek at this time.
That said, by tracing the migration of Yisra’elites using DNA to affirm our findings, we discover that Jews have not only lived in Anatolia and Arabia, but those who hate them occupy both today. Therefore, if we were to view these as places, Dowd has become synonymous with his people, Yahuwdym | Jews, and is serving as a harbinger of the one attacking them during the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles.
When we put the clues together, we find Dowd warning Yisra’el about Ezekiel, Christianity, and Islam. He is saying that Christians will attempt to steal his Messiah title and that Muslims will seek to kill them.
“For too long (rab – among far too many) I had remained (shakan – I had been closely associated with foreigners; from shakab – to lie within the sense of having sexual relations and shakah – to lustfully copulate (qal perfect) [from 4QPs vs. MT ‘my soul lived for itself’]) among (‘im – with and around) those who oppose (sane’ – of those who shun and abhor, who refuse and hate (qal participle)) reconciliation, even the peace and prosperity enjoyed in a harmonious relationship (shalowm – salvation or satisfaction, companionship or safety, even contentment from a more favorable circumstance).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:6)
It is exasperating that Father and Son would so meticulously lay out such a marvelous means to reconcile our relationship, only to have mankind reject it and then 575replace their plan with one in conflict with it. Worse, the religious would either usurp God’s title and label their approach “Torah,” or they would tack their contrarian propositions onto the conclusion of Yahowah’s book, having the audacity to claim that God inspired their contradictions.
This pronouncement is as damning to Judaism as it is to Christianity. By denying the fulfillment of Chag Matsah, by dissociating Dowd from it, and by upending the intent of Kipurym, rabbis deceitfully robbed Jews of the opportunity for reconciliation while estranging all who believe them from Yahowah. And yet, rather than admitting to their actions in opposition to Father and Son, they continue to justify their malfeasance throughout the Talmud – now called “Torah.”
Over his three lifetimes, Dowd came to epitomize many things, from Yisra’el to the Beryth, from poet to prophet, from the Messiah to King, and from warrior to savior. High among these equivalencies, Dowd is all about shalowm – of which he is both a proponent and contributor.
“I am restitution, restoration, and reconciliation in a completely satisfying and harmonious relationship providing salvation and contentment (‘any shalowm – I am for favorable treatment and contentment, companionship and friendship, peace and prosperity), and yet, when (wa) I speak, sharing my message (dabar – I verbalize or write these words (piel imperfect)), they are combative and promote conflict (hem la ha milchamah – they are prone to draw up battle lines and fight as if going to war).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:7)
Dowd is the means to restitution, restoration, and reconciliation. He is our Savior. When we accept what he has accomplished, we enter into a completely satisfying and harmonious relationship with our Heavenly Father. He stated His intentions and then delivered as promised. This 576message reverberates throughout the Mizmowr and Naby’, and yet, rather than being enthusiastically accepted, the religious are combative, promoting conflict in lieu of shalowm.
The opening phrase, ‘any shalowm | I am restitution, is bereft of a verb, such that Dowd is simply equating himself with all that shalowm represents. And while shalowm is rich in meaning and entirely positive and beneficial, we gain a better appreciation of our Messiah’s offer when we consider shalam – its actionable root. Shalam speaks of providing recompense and restitution, of restoring a fractured relationship by paying the debt of another, thereby, making amends.
I have accepted his generous offer while the religious have rejected it. As a result, I am included in the Covenant and assured of entering Heaven while the adherents of Judaism and Christianity exclude themselves from both. I am supportive while they are combative. I know and love Yah, just as they promote gods conceived in their image. I serve by revealing the truth without monetary compensation and they expect the faithful to pay for their lies. While I have illuminated the way Home on behalf of Father and Son by sharing their message to mankind, they remain combative, in abject conflict with the words God inspired.
This is, indeed, a thoughtful presentation on how to ascend into the spiritual realm and live with our Father…
“A Song (shyr) for the thoughtful ascent (ha ma’alah).
During troubling circumstances, while being confined and diminished by the pen of a vexing rival (ba ha tsarah) of mine (la ‘any), I summoned and called out (qara’) to (‘el) Yahowah (Yahowah), and He answered me (wa ‘anah ‘any). (Mizmowr 120:1)
577Yahowah (YaHoWaH), You and I are in accord because it is my decision and Your will to deliver and spare (natsal) my soul (nepesh ‘any) from the misleading and deceptive lips of the liar (min saphah seqer) and from the treacherous tongue promoting false beliefs (min lashown ramyah). (Mizmowr 120:2)
What will be set forth and appointed because of you (mah nathan la ‘atah)? Why are you carrying on this way, how much more of this will be added by you in your repeated desire to create another edition (wa mah yasaph la ‘atah) with your undisciplined and deceitful tongue deliberately perpetrating this outright fraud (lashown ramyah)? (Mizmowr 120:3)
The divisive projectiles (chets) of the Gibowr | Competent and Courageous Defender (gibowr) are sharp, piercing (shanan), and burning, like a bolt of lightning (‘im gachal), to bind up and sweep away (ratham). (Mizmowr 120:4)
This distressing warning from me (‘owyah la ‘any) is because (ky), for a period of time, I have endured as an alien to be conspired against (guwr) by being seized control of and dragged away over a prolonged period of time (meshek) such that I have been associated with foreigners (shakan) among (‘im) the tents (‘ohel) of darkness and mourning (qedar). (Mizmowr 120:5)
For too long (rab) I had remained associated with foreigners (shakan) among (‘im) those who oppose (sane’) reconciliation, even the peace and prosperity enjoyed in a harmonious relationship (shalowm). (Mizmowr 120:6)
I am restitution, restoration, and reconciliation in a completely satisfying and harmonious relationship providing salvation along with the means to favorable treatment, companionship, and contentment (‘any shalowm). And yet, when (wa) I speak, sharing my 578message (dabar), they are combative and promote conflict (hem la ha milchamah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 120:7)
There are additional prophecies pertaining to Dowd that I would like to reconsider at this time. The first of these we contemplated while composing Observations. It is different from the others because it reveals that Yahowah chose someone to trumpet Dowd’s accolades and achievements on behalf of His people. It begins…
“Then a Choter | a shoot or sucker from the stump (wa choter – a stem or secondary branch, a pliable instrument who is a secondary source of growth serving as a living entity delivering progeny, an observant individual who is willing to listen and who is committed to thinking and sharing what is most valuable) will be extended for a limited time (yatsa’ – he will be brought forth to serve (qal perfect active sequential third-person masculine singular)) by means of (min – out of) the stock (geza’ – the original stump and root from which new growth emerges, the trunk which has been cut down and yet is capable of supporting new shoots) of Yshay | to Stand Out and Be Noticed (Yshay – To Draw Attention to the Substance of Existence; from yesh – to exist and become substantial, to stand up and be noticed), as (wa) an observant branch (netser – a secondary stem or shoot which extends from a primary limb; from natsar – to observe, watch over, and preserve, to closely look after, focus on, and protect) by means of (min) his roots, and that which keeps him anchored, steadfast, and nourished (sheresh huw’ – his base and foundation, that which keeps him firmly established), such that he will continually bear an abundance of fruit, being productive while encouraging productivity in 579others (parah – so that he will be consistently fruitful while causing and enabling prosperity on behalf of successive generations (qal imperfect)). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:1)
When initially exposed to the concept of a Choter | Secondary Branch growing out of the main limb of the Tree of Lives extended through Dowd, we considered a number of possibilities, the most reasonable of which addresses a future individual deployed at a very specific moment in time – one who mirrors the depictions in the prophecy. This person would be rooted and nourished by that which came forth from Yshay, i.e., Dowd – and thus grafted into God’s Branch. He would be noticed for advocating Dowd’s Mizmowr on behalf of Yisra’el.
Also interesting, especially in the context of a stump: the olive is the tree most representative of the Promised Land. It is very long-lived, firmly rooted, and produces the oil used to anoint the Mashyach. When an olive tree ceases to be productive, as was the case with Yisra’el, and is cut down or pruned, choter | shoots and suckers sprout out of the ground and off of the truncated branch to bring the sun’s energy to the roots of the tree. Choters rejuvenate the neglected and unproductive tree, such that the title serves as an apt depiction of Yahowah’s intent.
Digging deeper, September is the best time to reestablish an olive tree from root suckers or stem cuttings, which corresponds to the time of Taruw'ah and, generally, Kipurym. The best results come from finding a sprout or sucker that is the size of the most common of writing implements – a pencil. While suckers already possess roots, pruning shears should be positioned eight inches from the end of a shoot growing from an otherwise unproductive branch. The best results occur when the shoot’s lower third is dipped in bee’s wax (bee is the feminine of dabar | word in Hebrew: dabarah) and then inserted into familiar soil (representing Yisra’el), with a 580transparent wrapping enveloping it (symbolic of the Spirit’s protection). For the best results, each choter should be planted where it absorbs plenty of light. With support, a supply of water and nourishment, the shoot or sucker will produce an abundant harvest of olives.
Our initial search for the identity of the Choter was quickly resolved when we discovered that Solomon had a great deal to say about what he called a Nakry | Observant Foreigner. Standing atop Mowryah with the recently completed Temple in the background, Shalomoh / Reconciliation / Solomon, told Yisra’elites what to expect in the future. Speaking of the promises Yahowah made to his father to guide his people’s footsteps, he encouraged the Children of Yisra’el to listen to this individual who would speak to them in Yahowah’s name and on behalf of His Zarowa’.
While this prophecy speaks of a singular Choter, it explains how every member of the Covenant can serve as a choter on behalf of God’s people. The Ruwach, as our Spiritual Mother, is ever ready to enlighten and empower every sheep in Yah’s flock.
The entire purpose of the Choter is to encourage Yisra’elites and even Gowym to consider the words of Yah’s prophets, and especially Dowd’s message on behalf of the Beryth and Miqra’ey. We can, indeed, claim the promises Yahowah made to Dowd for ourselves – not by taking them away from him but, instead, by allowing him to share them with us.
“This is because (wa) the Spirit (ruwach – the Divine power, influence, and energy, the discernable feminine essence of manifestation and understanding, the Maternal acceptance and support with the protection and light) of Yahowah (Yahowah) will settle and remain on him (nuwach ‘al huw’ – She was placed upon him, She energizes him and restores him, She is in an alliance with 581him, dwelling and residing within him, never departing his abode while She enriches the association and assures the most favorable outcome for him, enabling him to be composed and prevail no matter the challenge (qal perfect third-person feminine singular and third-person masculine singular)), the Spirit (ruwach) providing the capacity to comprehend and then teach (chakmah – offering the mental aptitude and wisdom to learn and instruct, to comprehend and communicate, providing the technical expertise to be discerning and educate) while (wa) enabling understanding by making the proper connections to reveal insights (binah – facilitating the propensity to ponder and process information by being perceptive and discerning, discriminating and judgmental, making intelligent associations which lead to a conceptual comprehension, revealing how to respond after thoughtful consideration; from byn – making connections between and among things so as to find patterns and relationships which enlighten), the Spirit (ruwach) of advice and counsel (‘etsah – of pertinent directions regarding how to properly reply, providing prudent consultation on the purpose of the proposal, delivering effective mentoring on how to deliberate relevant decisions) and of being emboldened and inspiring (wa gebuwrah – on how to be a confident and courageous leader who is empowering, able to accomplish the mission and perform until it is complete, providing the aptitude and capability to confirm what is true, offering the mental discipline to be unwavering, championing the cause with integrity and character, always fighting to defend God’s people and affirm their rights), the Spirit (ruwach) of knowing and knowledge (da’ath – of recognizing where to look for answers and acquiring information, of being aware of the evidence and being able to discern what is relevant and accurate, of discriminating between fact and fiction and right and wrong, so as to recognize and acknowledge the truth; from yada’ – to learn and to know, to recognize and 582acknowledge, to consider and comprehend, to become acquainted and personally familiar) so as (wa) to respect and revere (yira’ah – to appreciate the awesome nature, outstanding character, superlative ability, and astonishing greatness and be inspired by) Yahowah (Yahowah). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:2)
The Ruwach of Yahowah would provide the Choter everything needed to know to understand the Word of God, educating him so that he might teach. And you’ll notice that everything She is offering, including the strength of his conviction, is cerebral. God’s people are given the opportunity to think their way Home. This is because of…
1) The Ruwach of Yahowah – the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit would be actively engaged in doing for the Choter as She had done for Dowd – providing a direct connection with Yahowah. There would be no intermediaries.
2) The Ruwach of Chakmah – with the Spirit providing the mental aptitude and wisdom needed to learn and then instruct, comprehension would come in an orderly, diligent, and systematic manner, with the technical expertise needed to be a good student and effective teacher.
3) The Ruwach of Binah – the Spirit would enable understanding by making appropriate connections that reveal insights, facilitating the propensity to process information in a logical manner, offering the ability to be perceptive and discerning, discriminating and judgmental, so as to reveal how to respond to God after thoughtful consideration.
4) The Ruwach of ‘Etsah – the Spirit of advice and counsel concerning pertinent directions regarding how to properly reply to Father and Son, providing prudent consultation on the purpose of their proposal, delivering effective mentoring on how to deliberate relevant decisions.
5835) The Ruwach of Gebuwrah – the Spirit to be like Dowd, competent and courageous, confident and bold, a leader who is empowering and inspiring, able to accomplish the mission and perform until it is complete, providing the aptitude and capability to confirm the truth, offering the mental discipline to be unwavering, excelling by being upright, always fighting to defend God’s people and affirm their rights.
6) The Ruwach of Da’ath – the Spirit of recognizing where to look for answers and how to acquire relevant information, of obtaining knowledge, of being aware of relevant evidence and being able to discern what is applicable and accurate, of discriminating between fact and fiction and right and wrong, so as to recognize and acknowledge the truth.
7) The Ruwach of Yira’ah Yahowah – the Spirit of respecting and revering Yahowah, appreciating His awesome nature, outstanding character, superlative ability, and astonishing greatness.
You will notice, there was no…
- Spirit of faith, because it is irrelevant;
- Spirit of compromise, because God doesn’t;
- Spirit of prayer, because we benefit from listening;
- Spirit of being good, because being right matters;
- Spirit of obedience, because the goal is liberation;
- Spirit of worship, because it is not relevant to family;
- Spirit of fear, because it’s a loving relationship;
- Spirit of charity, because work is a virtue;
- Spirit of meekness, because we are called to be bold;
- Spirit of a pure heart, because our thoughts matter;
- Spirit of healing, because our bodies aren’t relevant;
- 584Spirit of miracles, because God does not show off.
Yahowah makes it abundantly clear: the Choter is an inspired and enabled witness and not a prophet. Through the Spirit, he will learn from Yah’s Naby’. God has already revealed far more than we need to know to capitalize upon what He is offering. We just need to listen and respond…
“Additionally (wa – in addition), by accepting the offer and responding appropriately, he will be perceptive (ryach huw’ – his acceptance and perceptiveness, his nose for the truth, his willingness to respond and supply answers after his virtual meeting will be pleasing, bringing him very close (hifil infinitive perfect)) with regard to developing a profound admiration and respect for (ba yira’ah – with the ability to appreciate the awesome wonderment and astonishing greatness so as to be inspired by) Yahowah (Yahowah).
Therefore (wa), it will not be by an appearance or vision (lo’ la mare’ah – not through visual means or spiritual revelation, miraculous vision, or supernatural phenomenon) seen with his eyes (‘ayn huw’ – of his own perceptions or perspectives, appearances or personal understanding) that he will decide (shaphat – that he will confront the evidence and should judge, making decisions).
Also (wa), it will not be by hearsay (lo’ la mishma’ – not by rumors or innuendo, not by word of mouth or that which is passed around person to person, nor by heeding unverifiable information; from my – to question and shama’ – listening) heard with his ears (‘ozen huw) that he will make judgments or prove his arguments (yakach – should he offer advice or seek to resolve disputes, should he make decisions regarding vindication, complain, or hurl accusations, should he chide, attempt to disprove, or determine who is right, nor debate). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:3)
585When there are no others who are willing, just being responsive goes a long way. When God introduces Himself, we should answer the invitation, accept His offer, and engage accordingly. Those who do, develop a profound respect for Yahowah.
It is reassuring that Yahowah affirmed that the Choter would not be a prophet, but would, instead, rely upon them. It is so much better than being a prophet at this late date because there just isn’t enough time left to prove Divine inspiration. Moreover, by having the Choter rely upon the prior prophets, his witness is easily validated and verified. It also leaves the rabbis without excuse since the insights he's revealing have been available to them for thousands of years.
It is also clear that the Choter will be judgmental, and that he will prove his conclusions. His advice will be consistent with Yahowah’s counsel because God will serve as the sole source of his guidance.
Yahowah has invariably revealed Himself to humankind through either a personal appearance, as was the case with Moseh and the Towrah, or to His prophets through visions and spoken words. Neither would occur in this situation because everything the Choter would share had already been revealed.
If Yahowah did not intend to enable the Choter with His Spirit, and then use this implement in a profoundly important way, this prophecy regarding his nature and purpose would not have been revealed. But since it not only exists, but is prolific in its explanations, we ought to use it to appreciate what Yahowah is offering and expecting in return. We should contemplate our role in all of this, evaluating what we can contribute to his mission – to make the olive tree that is Yisra’el blossom, rooted and fruitful in the Land. That is why he is depicted as a Choter | stem. It is what this is all about.
586“He will exercise good judgment (wa shaphat – he will decide, judging and adjudicating the matter, arguing to resolve disputes) by (ba) seeking to be accurate, honest, and forthright (tsedeq – being fair and correct, in accord with the truth, avoiding any conflict or inconsistency with the established standard) with regard to opening the doorway for the discerning (dal – with advice on providing a way in for the few, using spoken words to disclose the entrance on behalf of the unpretentious and societally disenfranchised; from dalah – to draw conclusions and thus be discerning).
He will provide proof using sound arguments (yakach – he will use evidence and reason to decide, judge and correct, engaging in dialog to resolve disputes while criticizing, accusing, and condemning, making the case to vindicate or convict (hifil perfect)) with (ba) everything out in the open, doing so fairly (myshowr – by putting everything on the table, on the level, nothing hidden, justly and equitably in a very forthright and direct manner; from yashar – to be right, approved, and candid) on behalf of (la) the sincere and responsive who are seeking straightforward answers (‘anaw – those who are willing to reply but who want some assistance from a witness with answers to their questions who is constantly thinking about making such declarations; from ‘anah – to respond after receiving answers, testifying as a witness) of the Land (‘erets – of the material realm).
Then (wa) he will strike, verbally attacking and disabling (nakah – he will confront, crippling and incapacitating, sarcastically mocking, chastising, and judging, while pointing out the irony of it all to ravage and defeat, ending lives within (hifil perfect masculine singular – he will use the staff to strike a debilitating blow for a time at the direction of another)) the material realm (‘erets – those on the earth) with the rod and staff (ba shebet – on 587behalf of the nation and tribes with the implement) of his mouth and, thus, his voice (peh huw’).
And with (wa ba – along with) the Spirit (ruwach) of his lips and resulting language (saphah huw’ – his speech), he will devastate (muwth – he will destroy, even kill) the wicked and the wrong (rasha’ – the Godless whose thoughts, words, and deeds are criminal and evil, of those deserving condemnation for violating the standard, of those guilty of creating disunity and disharmony [translated from 1QIsa]).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:4)
The Choter will wield the words of God on behalf of those seeking answers. He will do so accurately and honestly. His assessments, conclusions, and insights will be presented in a forthright manner. His arguments on behalf of Yah will be sound, as they will be based upon evidence and reason. But more than anything, His presentation of Yahowah’s Word will be consistent with the standard God has established. Every thought-provoking statement will lead to the same place, striving for the same result: directing our attention to the doorway Yahowah has provided such that it is opened for those seeking entry.
But it is not only about life. The Choter will be deployed to do as Dowd has done. He will aggressively and openly expose and condemn everyone contrary to Yahowah and Yahuwdym. For those open to listening to the words of Yah, his oratory will bring life, and for those in opposition, they will bring death.
Based upon the choice of verbs, there will come a place and time when the Choter will be asked to defend Yahowah’s flock. His words will become protective weapons. Just as they bring life to those who accept the Father and Son who spoke them, they will be fatal to those who would deny them.
588Since Yahowah is continuing to speak of His Choter, this is a powerful pronouncement. With his assessments as a matter of life and death, of reconciliation or extermination, this suggests that he will serve with ‘ElYah as one of the two Witnesses during the worst of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. This is one of the rare occurrences in which God is granting this responsibility and authority to an individual.
In the Great Isaiah Scroll found hidden in the bluffs above Qumran, the text reveals that the wicked and wrong will cease to exist as a result of the words spoken by the Choter – as he is empowered and influenced by the Spirit. But in the Masoretic Text, we read, “He will kill the wicked.” While the result is the same, the process is considerably different – and telling.
Not only is the Ruwach feminine, not masculine, making the Masoretic Text incorrect, but there is also no reason for Yahowah to do anything beyond what He has already stated. The wicked and wrong will cease to exist the moment they are addressed by the Spirit and confronted by the Word of God. Their demise is a consequence of their choices. Having chosen to mislead and abuse His people, they are not fit to live with God or Yisra’el. Their souls, unlike those in the Covenant who are the beneficiaries of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah, will not endure in Yahowah’s presence. They are not properly adorned. They have not answered His Invitations to Meet. They have not accepted the conditions of the Covenant, and thus, they will not receive its benefits. As a result, they will die.
When I first read these words, I was not prepared for them. And in my initial translation, I did everything I could to weaken the implications of “nakah – strike and disable” and “muwth – ending a mortal life.” It is one thing to verbally expose and condemn those who are wrong – it is another to extinguish their lives. But fortunately for the 589Choter, the Ruwach | Spirit will guide this process because the only things the Choter will be wielding are words.
As I mentioned previously, there is a precedent for this power. ‘ElYah ended the lives of those within Yisra’el who advocated on behalf of Ba’al | the Lord and ‘Asherah | the Beneficial. And since Mal’aky reveals that ‘ElYah | Elijah will be one of the two witnesses presented in Zakaryah 4, serving Yisra’elites in the final days of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, this suggests that the Choter will be the other. If so, ‘ElYah will condemn the wayward among Yisra’el and Yahuwdah, while the eseshoter may be there to hold Christians, Muslims, Progressives, and the Conspiratorial accountable.
“Being right, correct, and honest (wa tsedeq – being accurate, righteous, upright, fair, and just, redeemed, vindicated, and innocent, rational and in accord with the standard) will be (hayah) the belt around his waist (‘ezowr mothenym huw’ – the sash, band, and cloth around his midsection, supporting his back while protecting his core). And (wa) the trustworthy and reliable nature of the witness (‘emuwnah – the integrity and dependability of the individual and his testimony, by keeping it real and genuine, steadfast and truthful, honest and valid; from ‘aman – to support and confirm that which is trustworthy and reliable, upholding and verifiable) will serve to gird him (‘ezowr chalats huw’ – the belt and sash around his manhood, virility, and loins; from chalats – to be rescued and delivered, withdrawn and invigorated).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:5)
Being right matters. Honesty and reliablity are vitally important. And while the standard for a witness is different than that of a prophet, in the case of the Choter there is so much at stake and so little time remaining, the margin for error is very small. Should his journey through Yahowah’s testimony lead to new discoveries, it is essential that he invest the time to set the record straight. Therefore, while 590this is the first rewrite of Coming Home, other volumes within the Yada Yahowah series have been edited eight times. Currently, I am correcting everything that does not properly account for the roles of Father and Son in the fulfillment of the Mow’edym.
As the Choter heralds Yahowah’s message as we approach Dowd’s return on Kipurym, Yahowah uses some rather intriguing word pictures to describe the world we will experience on the cusp of Sukah. Nothing will be the same.
“Then the wolf (wa za’eb – the predatory mammal (representing the most infamous Benjamite, Paul, the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, responsible for Christianity)) will be an alien, stirring up trouble and strife with his quarrelsome and insidious plans (guwr – will sojourn as a stranger, congregating with the flock while leading them astray, conspiring while scheming a harmful, treacherous, and deceitful response by being rebellious, picking a fight by instigating an attack (qal perfect – doing so for a finite period of time)) against the lamb (‘im kebes – in opposition to the dominant ram (used in the Towrah in conjunction with the Passover Lamb and Pesach and, thus Dowd as the Zarowa’)).
And the leopard (wa namer – a spotted and camouflaged predator (symbolic of Nimrod and Babylon)) will stretch out ready to pounce (rabats – or will lie in wait, crouched and prepared to leap) in association with (‘im) the goat (gady – a young kid; from an unused root meaning: to cut off (thus symbolic of those on the wrong side of judgment)).
The adolescent calf (wa ‘egel – a weaned cow; from ‘agol – to revolve, coming full circle (symbolic of Yisra’el and those responsible for the Golden Calf)) and the young lion (wa kaphyr – used as a metaphor for Yahuwdah; from kaphis – to connect and kaphar – be covered) who have 591been rebellious and recalcitrant (wa mary – who have been resistant and in opposition, displaying animosity, resisting God’s authority) will be together at the same time (yachdaw – will be in one accord with Yah, alike and in one place).
And so, this less distinguished steward who is easily determined and known as a servant (wa na’ar qaton – the attendant of a lower social status who can be readily known on behalf of the scattered sheep) shall motivate, lead, and guide them (nahag ba hem – will be direct and influential among them as he attempts to direct their voluntary movements (qal participle active masculine singular – meaning that one man will literally and demonstrably influence them)). (Yasha’yah 11:6)
The cow, representing the fruitful and flourishing (wa parah – the abundantly productive fruit; from para’ – fruitful), and the bear, representing the empowered and capable (wa dowb – a protective and motherly omnivore; from dobe’ – to be strengthened and become powerful, able to capitalize on all life has to offer, living a favorable existence in a peaceful state), will be shepherded (ra’ah – will be led to nourishing pastures and flowing waters, protected and guided).
Together (yachdaw – as one, unified and alike, in the oneness of Yah), their youth (yeled henah – their young children) will lie down (rabats – will lie and wait ready for action).
The lion, as a wild carnivore (wa ‘aryeh – the powerful and regal, meat-eating predator, one of seven Hebrew words for lion; from ‘arah – to gather together and pluck away, symbolic of Yahuwdah) like (ka – similar to) the ox, as a domesticated herbivore (ha baqar – a large herd of grass foraging animals, especially bulls or oxen; from baqar – to seek, inquire, and consider), shall consume (‘akel – shall eat and be fed) straw (teben – the 592stock of the grain between the ground and the head, used as fodder for livestock and as a building material).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yah / Isaiah 11:7)
I have pored over and contemplated every symbolic metaphor in this list, doing what I could to present each with as much insight as possible, but I cannot definitively attest that it precisely expresses Yahwowah's intent. But in the end, my take on all of this is that the worst of times will lead to the best of days. The killing will stop, and living will commence, with the fiercest predator becoming an herbivore.
Admittedly, given the options at our disposal, I'm rewriting much of what I composed years ago. In light of the many surprising and unexpected findings, the Choter's role is to adapt and reconsider his previous assessments. Nonetheless, our mission is always to strive for accuracy and then go where the words lead.
What we know is that life will no longer be red in tooth and claw. The toxins have all been removed. The Earth will be much like ‘Eden six thousand years ago.
Life is good for many reasons, one of which is that the Serpent will no longer be in residence. In a world transformed in Yahowah's image, children will exemplify the nature reflected in the name He gave to Yitschaq | Isaac – Laughter and Playfulness.
“An infant (wa yowneq – a suckling child and tender shoot at the early stages of life) will play (sha’a’ – will be delighted, finding great pleasure and enjoyment having fun) over the hole (‘al chur – over the den) of the serpent (pethen – a poisonous snake or venomous viper; from an unused root meaning to twist). And upon (wa ‘al) the nests (ma’uwrah – the cavities in the ground where reptiles of a lesser light dwell) of snakes (tsiph’ony – of the poisonous vipers; from an unused root meaning to extrude toxins, a mythical beast akin to a dragon), the reared who 593is now accountable (gamal – those raised to be accountable for their actions) shall place his hand (yad huw’ hadah – will stretch out and put his hand).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:8)
In a world without Satan, and at a time when there is no longer any religious venom, it will be safe to roam around and play. In this climate, even the youngest will be safe playing independently.
The Earth will become the happiest place in the universe, just as Yah intended. Full of life and joyfulness, the entire Family will exude a harmonious attitude, being in one accord.
The absence of evil, corruption and deception is only half of the future equation. For there to be abundant life, a life worth living, goodness, truth, and wholesomeness must prevail.
“They shall not perpetrate evil (lo’ ra’a’ – they will not be harmful or troublesome, and will not mistreat or distress anyone, they will neither ruin nor destroy, no longer be bad, injurious, or displeasing (hifil imperfect)) and they shall not corrupt (wa lo’ shachath – they will not pervert or spoil, ravage or ruin, mar or blemish) anything in association with (ba kol [kol not present in 1QIsa]) My Set-Apart (qodesh ‘any) Mountain (har) because (ky – for the express reason) the Land (ha ‘erets – the Earth and material realm) shall fully and completely proclaim (male’ – shall fully accomplish the goal, totally satisfying the requirement, fulfilling and finishing what shall be confirmed [feminine in 1QIsa vs. masculine in the MT]) the information which can be known about (de’ah ‘eth – the knowledge required to exercise good judgment regarding the nature of [from 1QIsa]) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – restoration), just as (ka) the 594waters (ha maym) cover (kasah – overwhelm and conceal or adorn) the sea (la ha yam).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:9)
Truth will abound. For the first time since ‘Adam walked in the Garden, we will all be right. Equally wonderful, with ha Satan permanently incarcerated in She’owl, there will be no one around to misconstrue God’s message, to lead a rebellion, or to degrade our relationship.
We shall all know Yahowah on this day because His towrah | guidance will be placed inside of all who survive to enjoy it with Him. The Choter’s job will be complete. Even the gowym | gentiles, represented by the sea, will either be covered and adorned in the Word of God or overwhelmed by it and concealed from sight.
Since it has been reemphasized, it bears repeating – nothing matters more than Yahowah’s name. Without it, there is no relationship, no life beyond our mortality, and no salvation. Jesus, Christ, Allah, HaShem, G-d, Adonai, and the Lord are no more God than is navel lint. The universe has only one Creator, the One who conceived life, the Author of the Towrah, the inspiration of the prophets, and Dowd’s Father.
And yet, before our return to the Garden, it appears that the Choter will have one last hurrah. It will serve as affirmation, a tangible recognition that Yahowah fulfilled His promise to His people. It will also reveal a charming aspect of Yah’s nature. Even in the big things, He uses the least impressive among us and then shares the credit with His chosen implements. Therefore, based upon what follows, the Choter will be given the honor of serving as the voice heralding the returning Son, Branch, Messiah, Shepherd, Lamb, and King he has so long admired.
And perhaps, even though it would be embarrassing, after performing as instructed and surviving the worst the religious and political could throw at him, Yah might be 595allowing those, who benefited from what He did through His Choter, to express their appreciation. Should this be so, before the Choter fades into obscurity, he will stand out and be noticed for the banner he and the Spirit scribed for the Family.
“Then (wa) it will occur (hayah – it will actually happen, albeit briefly (qal perfect)) in that day which is his time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), that the root which anchors and nourishes (sheresh – the base and foundation, the source and family line, that is steadfast and focused on the root of the matter) of Yshay | to Stand Out and Be Noticed (Yshay – To Draw Attention to the Substance of Existence; from yesh – to exist and become substantial, to stand up and be noticed, to draw attention and to be enriched), who showed the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher – who served as a guide, leading and directing others to the correct path to walk to give meaning to life and to experience the greatest blessings and joy), through (la – regarding and concerning by producing and approaching with) the Nes | Banner (nes – sign), will take a stand and be present (‘amad – will stand before someone who is superior, presenting the means to evaluate the One who appointed and sustains him, providing the means to assess the evidence and make a thoughtful decision, being evaluated himself while standing and unbowed (qal participle)) for the Family (‘am – for the people who are related (describing the Children of Yisra’el and the Covenant)).
Through him (‘el huw’ – toward him as he leads, providing direction to God (nes is masculine singular)), non-Yisra’elites (gowym – people unrelated to or living outside of Yisra’el) have learned what was not previously known about the relationship and they will continue to be inquisitive (darash – they will have inquired about, searched for, and investigated, expecting to find a responsible presentation about engaging in the 596relationship with ongoing implications throughout time as they strive to investigate and learn all that can be known, always inquiring and caring (qal imperfect active – literally and continuously search)).
And so therefore (wa), his restful residence (manuwchah huw’ – his place of repose and reflection, his comfortable habitation; from nuwach – spiritual contentment and nawah – living in a spiritual dwelling where sheep abide) will exist as (hayah – will be) a reward and a source of enrichment and empowerment (kabowd – a valuable and dignified gift, existing as a place of abundance, as a manifestation of power, and as an attribution of an inheritance of impressive splendor).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yah / Isaiah 11:10)
Even when we do not seek attention, we all want to be appreciated for something well done. And what could be better than knowing that many of those who have become Covenant will have made their decision based upon what they learned through Yada Yahowah. There will be some appreciative smiles, handshakes, hugs, and words exchanged as we realize just how far we have come together.
Those who sought to know Yahowah along with the Choter will now spend eternity exploring the universe with the rest of the Family. Eternity’s purpose and the source of its joy are derived from “darash – seeking to know.” And yet, after each new adventure, we will return home to rest and reflect upon what we have discovered along life’s way. The Choter will be the same in this regard as the rest of Yah’s children in that he will live an empowering and enriching existence as a result of his inheritance. It’s good to be one of God’s kids.
Having told us what He is going to do, and having told us how He is going to do it, Yahowah inspired Yasha’yah 597to describe the result. There will be a second exodus as Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym are called out of the world.
“So (wa), it will happen (hayah – it will have occurred (qal perfect)) in that day, during his time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), my Upright One (‘edowny – the Upright Pillar of my Tabernacle) will once again associate (yasaph – will increasingly add, again joining (hifil imperfect active)) His hand (yad huw’ – His influence, power, and control) a second time (sheny) to reacquire, bring forth, and redeem (qanah – to provide rebirth to, recover, and obtain) the remnant (‘eth sha’ar – the remainder and direct relatives who are genetically similar) of His family (‘am huw’ – His people (the Children of Yisra’el)) who remain (‘asher sha’ar – which to show the way to the benefits of the relationship) out of (min – away from) ‘Ashuwr | Northern Iran & Iraq (‘Ashuwr – To Tread Upon / Assyria), from (wa min) Mitsraym | Lower Egypt (Mitsraym – the Crucibles of Oppression / Northern Egypt), out of Pathrows | Upper Egypt (wa min Pathrows – Subject to a Deceptive Interpretation / perhaps the Copts and Bedouins from Southern Egypt), from (wa min) Kuwsh | Arabian Peninsula (Kuwsh – Dark and Unknown), out of (wa min) ‘Elam | Southwestern Iran (‘Elam – Conceal / Persia), from (wa min) Shin’ar | Iraq / Babylon (Shin’ar – Confluence of Rivers / Babylonia), out of (wa min) Chamath | Syria (Chamath – Military Fortress / Syria), and from (wa min) the coastlands (‘y – the inhabited shores of countries between or surrounded to some extent by large bodies of water / notably: Lebanon, the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Western, Southern, and Northern Europe, Turkey, India, New Zealand, Australia, and North and South Africa) of the sea (ha yam – of the gentiles).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:11)
Prior to mentioning ‘y ha yam | inhabited coasts, or lands surrounded by water, God appeared to be describing 598what we have referred to as “Geographic Babylon.” These are places infected with Islam today. That’s interesting because DNA research is now revealing a very high concentration of Jews living in these places. And in most cases their forefathers converted to Christianity and then Islam under threat of death. It would be in distinction to “Religious” and “Political” Babylon, represented by the Roman Catholic Church and the United States – both replete with vestiges of Rome and home to countless Yahuwdym.
Now that we know that Yahowah will be calling Yahuwdym out of Northeastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and from throughout ancient Babylon, we can use the dominant male haplogroup (Y DNA) as our guide to assess the percentage of these peoples who are Jewish on their father’s side. But first this disclosure: DNA testing has not been done randomly, and only on a small percentage of these people. Further, we are relying exclusively on the dominant male haplogroup in our extrapolations. As a result, while the tests are conclusive and accurately portrayed, it is very likely that only those with innate personal curiosity who are most open to scientific inquiry among Muslims would have allowed themselves to be tested, artificially skewing the result by a factor of ten or more. Therefore, in our quest to be reasonable, I’ve downgraded the results across the board tenfold.
- Iranian Persians: 38% of 81 million = 30.8 and thus:
3.1 million Jews - Iranian Kurds: 60% of 6 million = 3.6 and thus:
0.4 million Jews - Egypt: 21% of 97 million = 20.4 and thus:
2.0 million Jews - Assyrians: 12% of 1.6 million = 0.2 and thus:
0.02 million Jews -
599Iraqi Sunni Arabs: 64% of 11 million = 7.0 and thus:
0.7 million Jews - Iraqi Shia Persians: 35% of 22 million = 7.7 and thus:
0.8 million Jews - Iraqi Kurds: 18% of 5 million = 0.9 and thus:
0.09 million Jews - Syria: 33% of 18 million = 6.0 and thus:
0.6 million Jews - Saudi Arabia: 40% of 33 million = 13.2 and thus:
1.3 million Jews - Qatar: 58% of 2.5 million = 1.5 and thus:
0.2 million Jews - UAE: 34% of 9.5 million = 3.2 and thus:
0.3 million Jews - Kuwait: 33% of 4.1 million = 1.3 and thus:
0.1 million Jews - Oman: 38% of 4.6 million = 1.7 and thus:
0.2 million Jews - Yemen: 72% of 28 million = 20.2 and thus:
2.0 million Jews
Only a tiny fraction of these ten million individuals know that they are Jewish. If more were to know, it would be a shock due to the anti-Semitic nature of Islam. After the Muslim conquests, having had their forefathers convert to Islam rather than die, most are far too corrupted by their satanic religion to hear Yah’s voice.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, after reading Prophet of Doom and then Yada Yahowah, An Introduction to God, Observations, Questioning Paul, Babel, and Coming Home, thousands of Yisra’elites emerged from geographical Babylon to become part of the Covenant Family? The combination of the internet, smartphones, social media, and our numerous sites and pages make this possible.
600Moving elsewhere, there are many inhabited coasts around the world – too many in fact to list. Smaller in number is the list of nations completely surrounded by water. It would include the UK, Ireland, and Crete, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Indonesia, along with New Zealand and Australia. While there are many countries mostly enveloped by the sea, some of the most relevant include India, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, the United States and Canada, along with the Central American nations.
There are also several intriguing implications associated with ‘y which may help us in our quest to understand. It serves to “negate a statement” and thus may include those whose lives “are negated because of their statements.” This could include Christians, Muslims, and Secular Humanists.
‘Y depicts a “carnivorous nocturnal animal, like a jackal or hyena which is prone to howl.” It is also used to describe “demonic spirits, ghosts, and goblins,” even “the walking dead from distant lands.”
‘Y is an interrogatory which asks: “Why and for what purpose?” Especially revealing, ‘y is another way to express “howy – woe,” making it synonymous with the United States, in that it was subject to the ultimate woe prophesied in Yasha’yah 18. In fact, ‘y was used to describe America in that prophecy. Of those who acknowledge that they are Jewish, over 7 million reside in the United States.
Strong’s Lexicon suggests that ‘y is derived from ‘awah, meaning “to covet and desire, longingly waiting and greedily expecting.” It can also convey “lust.” Now there is an interesting word study with fascinating implications.
Yah’s comments on the Choter’s contribution conclude with…
601“So (wa), He will lift up (nasa’ – He will at a point in time raise and bring forth, He will bear and carry (qal perfect)) a signal and banner (nes – sign, banner; from neses meaning to lift up) for the gentiles and their nations (gowym – for ethnicities, people, and places other than Yisra’el).
Then (wa), He will gather together and remove (‘asaph – He will collect and assemble as in a harvest, bringing together and withdrawing (qal perfect)) the straying and scattered (nadach – the banished of the diaspora who were expelled and forced to live in a different place) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God).
And (wa) the dispersed (puwts – the scattered who are away from home and shattered) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved and Related to Yah) He will gather up and obtain (qabats – He will collect, assemble, and relocate as a result of the relationship, harvesting them (piel imperfect)) from (min) the four (‘arba’) extremities (kanaph – distant places, corners, or borders; from kanaph – to be thrust aside and hidden from view, to be cornered) of the Earth (‘erets – material realm).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 11:12)
This will be the last call before the curtain drops. Yah is calling His people home and along with them receptive Gentiles. We do not know how many will have read the Nes | Banner, but it is certain that they all concur with its contents.
This is all so picturesque and poignant. When Yahowah invited Yasha’yah to Shamaym and opened Heaven’s Door, the great prophet lamented because there was no one standing outside ready to enter. But God’s story was far from over. For the solace of His prophet and benefit of His people, Yahowah revealed how, in a distant place and time, an implement described as a choter would be 602enlightened and emboldened by His Spirit such that his words would resonate with Yisra’el.
The choter would compose a Nes | Banner to convey the message the prophet had been inspired to write to a world finally willing to listen. Yasha’yah would live up to his name, Dowd would return to center stage, and as a result, all will be right with the world as Yahowah is acknowledged by His people. Soon, there will be thousands gleefully dancing through Passover’s Door.
