\u00a0This then brings us to Dany\u2019el\u2019s most important prediction. In 538 BCE, he penned these words: \u201cThen <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) while<\/strong> I was continually communicating <\/strong>(\u2018owd \u2018any dabar<\/em> \u2013 consistently and regularly conversing, yet again sharing words well beyond normal expectations) and asking questions and contemplating their answers <\/strong>(wa palal<\/em> \u2013 making requests, asking for help, and providing justification to persuade, praying while seeking intervention, arbitration, and intercession, and also thinking about and foreseeing future contingencies and events) and <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) confessing my gratitude over casting away <\/strong>(yadah<\/em> \u2013 my appreciation and thankfulness over being able to admit and hurl away) my offenses and sinful nature<\/strong>(chata\u2019ah<\/em> \u2013 the consequence and punishment of me missing the way, my iniquity and guilt associated with me wandering away from the right path) and the consequence and punishment of my people, Yisra\u2019el missing the way and wandering away <\/strong>(wa chata\u2019ah<\/em> \u2018am Yisra\u2019el <\/em>\u2013 in addition to the offenses and sinful nature of my family, those who strive to engage and endure with God), presenting <\/strong>(naphal<\/em> \u2013 settling upon, offering, and letting go of) my earnest and humble request for favor and mercy <\/strong>(tachinah<\/em> \u2013 my petition and plea for kind, generous, and favorable treatment) to approach the presence <\/strong>(la paneh<\/em> \u2013 to come face to face with) Yahowah<\/strong> (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4), my God <\/strong>(\u2018elohy<\/em>), on <\/strong>(\u2018al <\/em>\u2013 upon) the set-apart <\/strong>(qodesh<\/em> \u2013 separating, consecrating, preparing, dedicating, purifying and cleansing) mountain <\/strong>(har<\/em>) of my God <\/strong>(\u2018elohy<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong> (Dany\u2019el \/ God Judges and Vindicates \/ Daniel 9:20)<\/p>\n The first thing that we learn from this statement is that Dany\u2019el prioritized his relationship with Yahowah, and he did so by \u201c\u2018owd \u2018any dabar<\/em> \u2013 continually communicating\u201d based upon what he had learned while studying Yahowah\u2019s teaching in the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms. His \u201cdevotion to sharing went well beyond normal expectations.\u201d This is a lesson for all of us.<\/p>\n In addition, Dany\u2019el not only \u201cpalal<\/em> \u2013 asked questions,\u201d he \u201ccontemplated God\u2019s answers.\u201d So while palal<\/em> is routinely rendered \u201cprayer,\u201d it more accurately describes the nature of Dany\u2019el\u2019s conversations with Yahowah. He was asking God\u2019s help so that he could learn from the ultimate Teacher. And based upon what he was learning, Dany\u2019el made an impassioned plea on behalf of himself and his people.<\/p>\n But this was no ordinary request. Dany\u2019el yadah chata\u2019ah<\/em>, which is breathtaking and profound in its original language. Having studied Yahowah\u2019s Towrah<\/em> \u2013 Teaching, Dany\u2019el came to know, understand, respect, accept, embrace, trust, rely upon and even love the mishpat<\/em>, the provisions Yahowah has made to resolve the consequence and penalty of us missing the way and wandering away from Him. The prophet was acknowledging his appreciation and gratitude for God having conceived, enabled, and offered a means to remove \u2013 to literally cast and hurl away \u2013 the guilt associated with our wrongdoing. He knew what we have learned, that the Miqra\u2019<\/em> of Pesach<\/em> opens the door to eternal life by resolving the consequence of sin which is death. And he recognized what we have come to appreciate, that the Miqra\u2019<\/em> of Matsah <\/em>resolves the penalty of sin, which is separation from God, by discarding it \u2013 just as yeast is removed from what we eat and where we live.<\/p>\n Dany\u2019el\u2019s conversation with Yahowah was therefore an acceptance of God\u2019s offer to save us from ourselves. His justification for \u201ctachinah<\/em> \u2013 mercy, for this great favor and generous provision\u201d was the Towrah, where such promises are made and honored.<\/p>\n Affirming this, the operative verbs in this passage, palal<\/em> and yadah<\/em> were scribed using the hithpael stem, which is reflexive and says that the subject, in this case Dany\u2019el, was causing the action of these verbs to influence him, causing his condition to change as a result. Dany\u2019el was transformed by his consistent devotion to \u201cpalal<\/em> \u2013 seeking God\u2019s help by asking questions and contemplating His answers,\u201d and by \u201cyadah chata\u2019ah<\/em> \u2013 confessing his gratitude over the casting away of his offenses and sinful nature, freeing him from the consequence and penalty of having wandered away from the path\u201d Yahowah has provided.<\/p>\n Therefore, before He reveals one of His most sweeping prophecies, God has explained that prayer is communion where after listening to Yahowah, we respond by accepting His merciful provision. This medium of spiritual union has nothing to do with the Eucharist, the religious ritual Catholics borrowed from Babylon a thousand years after these words were written. To \u201ccommune\u201d is to \u201cconverse and build a rapport.\u201d It is \u201cto talk together intensely and intimately.\u201d Dabar<\/em> palal<\/em> is an \u201cinterchange of ideas and sentiments.\u201d This is the essence of a relationship, one based on common understanding and empathy. It is what Yahowah envisioned when He asked Abraham to engage in the Covenant with Him.<\/p>\n Dany\u2019el\u2019s exemplary communion with Yahowah included \u201cthinking about and foreseeing future contingencies and events.\u201d The prophet became a prophet because he was willing to engage in the stuff of prophecy and<\/em> because he knew its source. Dany\u2019el was engaged \u201c\u2018owd <\/em>\u2013 yet again, consistently and continually, beyond that which is expected.\u201d<\/p>\n Dany\u2019el\u2019s exchange of words included intercession, in which the prophet mediated on behalf of his sins as well as those of his brethren, pleading for himself and for them. This intervention suggests that Yahowah responds to the requests we make on behalf of ourselves and others, especially when we recognize that it is His mercy, and not our mediation, that actually prevails. And most especially, when we ask God to do as He has promised because we know and understand the benefits associated with His specific means to be merciful.<\/p>\n I\u2019m afraid the Catholics have misconstrued this concept too, creating the impression that their confessionals and priestly remedies are somehow relevant. Dany\u2019el more correctly with foreknowledge and forethought personally, privately, and directly with no intermediary involved, gratefully acknowledged and thankfully accepted Yahowah\u2019s specific provision to resolve the consequence and penalty of sin.<\/p>\n When we cast our guilt, its consequence and punishment, away, Yahowah, by way of the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019, bears our burden so we can be productive spiritual children.That is why Yasha\u2019yah wrote on behalf of Yahowah in the 53rd<\/sup> chapter: \u201cSurely our grief He Himself bore, our sorrows He carries\u2026. He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities. The punishment for our well-being fell upon Him. By His scourging we are healed.\u201d<\/p>\n I was especially touched by the use of la paneh<\/em> at the conclusion of Dany\u2019el\u2019s request. This suggests that the prophet was seeking to capitalize upon God\u2019s merciful provision which would allow him to approach the very presence of Yahowah, coming face to face with God. But more than this, Dany\u2019el realized the means Yahowah has provided for us to enter His presence was accomplished \u201con the set-apart mountain of our God \u2013 on Mowryah \u2013 where the body, soul, and spirit of Yahowah opened the door to life on Passover, provided the means to perfection on Unleavened Bread, and handed us our certificate of adoption on FirstFruits.<\/p>\n A sin is an offense, something that is displeasing to God. It is a violation of Yahowah\u2019s instructions, a breaking of the covenant, making chata\u2019ah<\/em> a crime. To avoid anarchy, all crimes must have a consequence and some must be punished. In society, we deprive criminals of their property, freedom, or life depending upon the severity of the offense. Being just, Yahowah\u2019s remedy fits the crime\u2014\u2018azab<\/em> for \u2018azab\u2014<\/em>separation for those who have chosen to forsake Him.<\/p>\n The preamble to the prophecy is designed to show why Yahowah put Dany\u2019el at the center of His agenda. Dany\u2019el put God first. \u201cYes, while I was continuing to <\/strong>(wa \u2018owd \u2018any<\/em>) converse, exchanging words <\/strong>(dabar<\/em>) while<\/strong> thinking about the future, asking questions and contemplating their answers <\/strong>(ba ha palal<\/em> \u2013 making requests and seeking help), then <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) the individual <\/strong>(ha \u2018iysh<\/em> \u2013 the person who exists and is present,is a champion, supporter, and defender), Gabry\u2019el <\/strong>(Gabry\u2019el<\/em> \u2013from geber<\/em> \u00a0meaning the able, strong, prevailing, and mighty of \u2018el<\/em>\u2014God; transliterated, Gabriel), whom beneficially <\/strong>(\u2018asher<\/em> \u2013 by way of an association in the fortuitous relationship) I had seen <\/strong>(ra\u2019ah<\/em> \u2013 observed, perceived, inspected, and considered, paying attention to) in the initial prophetic revelation <\/strong>(ba ha tachilah ba ha chazown <\/em>\u2013 first communication and vision of the future), flying swiftly in an effort to provide advice <\/strong>(ya\u2019aph ba ya\u2019ph<\/em> \u2013 moving through the air by the use of wings to provide counsel), reaching out to make contact with me <\/strong>(naga \u2018el<\/em> \u2013 extending himself to touch me) around the time of the evening <\/strong>(ka \u2018eth \u2018ereb <\/em>\u2013 according to the right season of the year at sunset) offering, gift, and\/or sacrifice<\/strong> (minchah<\/em> \u2013 to apportion and bestow a present).\u201d <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el \/ God Judges and Vindicates \/ Daniel 9:21)<\/p>\n We are reminded that the revelation occurred during a conversation Dany\u2019el was having with God. The prophet set the scene and described Gabry\u2019el reaching out and touching him at the end of the day. He said that Gabry\u2019el spoke directly, providing advice and counsel. which is to say that, unlike Islam, God doesn\u2019t reveal Himself in half-baked languages by having terrifying spirits mumble jumbled recitals to ignorant and illiterate wannabe prophets as Muhammad claims his<\/em> version of Gabriel did on Allah\u2019s, his wannabe god\u2019s, behalf.<\/p>\n Further, Yahowah\u2019s Gabry\u2019el isn\u2019t a man as most translations are wont to render \u2018iysh<\/em>, but is instead an extant individual, a champion, supporter, and servant. Yet not in a lowly sense: Gabry\u2019el means \u201cstrong, mighty, and able to prevail.\u201d This is an excellent description of a mal\u2019ak<\/em>\u2014a \u201cspiritual messenger.\u201d<\/p>\n Since Yahowah does not solicit or endorse a nightly offering, much less ask us to sacrifice anything, we are compelled to consider other reasons behind the concluding phrase: ka \u2018eth \u2018ereb minchah<\/em>. So here is a possibility. Since the subject of the upcoming revelation is the timing and purpose of Yahowsha\u2019s upcoming sacrifice, Passover, which specifically commences at sunset at the beginning of each year, and serves as a voluntary offering of an extraordinary gift, this could be foreshadowing the purpose of this prophecy.<\/p>\n The spiritual messenger Gabry\u2019el, whose lone mission in life is to announce the arrival of the Ma\u2019aseyah, did as he was directed: \u201cSo <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) he provided instruction to facilitate understanding<\/strong> (byn<\/em>\u2013 he encouraged comprehension through teaching, access to knowledge and the proper perspective so as to enable discernment through careful observation and consideration), and he spoke with me <\/strong>(wa dabar \u2018im<\/em> \u2013 then he communicated using words, developing a relationship and association with me), and he said <\/strong>(wa \u2018amar<\/em>), \u2018Dany\u2019el <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el<\/em> \u2013 from dyn<\/em>, meaning one who pleads a cause and strives to vindicate, adjudicating a quarrel with \u2018el<\/em>, God), now at this time <\/strong>(\u2018atah <\/em>\u2013 so then in the sequence of things) I have come forth <\/strong>(yasa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 I have come out and have descended to bring, to extend, and to serve) to provide insights and instruction which if you are circumspect and consider will promote \u00a0<\/strong>(la sakal<\/em> \u2013 to teach the prudent to pay attention, and through contemplation) understanding through discernment <\/strong>(bynah <\/em>\u2013 enabling the diligent and perceptive to comprehend).\u201d <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el \/ God Judges and Vindicates \/ Daniel 9:22)<\/p>\n Dany\u2019el was prepared for what he was about to hear, just as we must be if we want God to enlighten us. Gabry\u2019el didn\u2019t do an information dump on someone who was either distracted or ill equipped to handle the revelation. The prophecy he was about to convey was comprehensive and complex. It was intended to make Dany\u2019el actively circumspect\u2014one who wisely considers things and prospers through guidance and teaching. So there was more to the process than just being a good listener. Dany\u2019el had to be ready and willing to process what he was about to be told. He had to be willing to open and engage his mind.<\/p>\n And as we have learned, Yahowah\u2019s prophetic verses are almost always filled with guidance, revealing His nature and explaining His plan. They contain exemplars for productive living.<\/p>\n In what follows, we learn that Gabry\u2019el was commanded to be a messenger; he was not asked. And that\u2019s essential to our understanding of the roles of messengers and men. The \u201cmal\u2019ak<\/em> \u2013 spiritual envoys\u201d are ordered to obey. Men are asked to choose. Heavenly messengers operate in a militaristic structure of command and control, of orders and authority, which is why the name Gabry\u2019el carries connotations of being a warrior. God\u2019s messengers, like soldiers, cease to be envoys, the moment they disobey an order. They are decommissioned and booted out. Thus they have no real choice. Without freewill, they cannot love. The mal\u2019ak<\/em> are inferior to men in this regard. But in another way, they are superior to us. They can \u201cfly swiftly\u201d\u2014that is to say they are four dimensional and can maneuver in time.<\/p>\n Satan, never forget, is a \u201cmal\u2019ak<\/em> \u2013 spiritual messenger.\u201d Fallen himself, he has seduced many into following him over the long march of time. The history of evil is painted by Halal ben Shachar.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the beginning, and along with the initial <\/strong>(ba tachilah<\/em>) your<\/strong> earnest and humble request for favor and mercy <\/strong>(tachanuwn<\/em>) the word <\/strong>(dabar<\/em>) went out <\/strong>(yatsa\u2019 <\/em>\u2013 came forth), and I, myself, have come <\/strong>(wa \u2018any bow\u2019 <\/em>\u2013 so I have arrived) to conspicuously report, announce, and make known <\/strong>(la nagad<\/em> \u2013 accordingly to serve as a messenger before you in a straightforward fashion, to make a declaration), for surely <\/strong>(ky<\/em> \u2013 because indeed) you are highly valued and held in high esteem <\/strong>(\u2018atah<\/em> chamad<\/em> \u2013 you are respected and cherished, indeed treasured, seen as desirable and precious).<\/strong><\/p>\n And so <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) understand the insights<\/strong> (byn<\/em>\u2013 be perceptive, think, be discerning and comprehend, diligently, with your undivided attention, process knowledge and realize the information contained) in this message <\/strong>(ba ha dabar<\/em> \u2013 in this statement comprised of words).<\/strong> Diligently consider so as to realize what you are seeing in this revelation <\/strong>(wa byn ba ha<\/em> mar\u2019eh <\/em>\u2013 be perceptive, think about, and comprehend the sights before your eyes).\u201d <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el \/ God Judges and Vindicates \/ Daniel 9:23)<\/p>\n Closely examining and carefully considering Yahowah\u2019s teaching in the Towrah and Prophets, and then thoughtfully and diligently thinking about what he had observed, not only prepared Dany\u2019el to understand this revelation, it caused God to value this man above all others. And there is no better position to obtain than this. So when this man pleaded for mercy, he was the one person on earth Yahowah knew would understand exactly when, where, and how it would be achieved.<\/p>\n This is also to say that God respects those who do as He has instructed. He wants us to observe His Towrah \u2013 Teaching, which is to remain focused upon what it reveals, closely examining and carefully considering, the words He has provided to teach us what we need to know to know Him.<\/p>\n This message is abundantly clear. Listening to God and responding to Him, reading His instructions and then engaging with Him, devoting oneself to understanding the words He has provided, is what endears a person to Yahowah.<\/p>\n Gabry\u2019el used byn<\/em>, the Hebrew word for \u201cobserve the evidence and think so that you understand,\u201d four times in this passage. And he used dabar<\/em>, which means \u201cword,\u201d an equal number of times to tell us what we should be examining, considering, and understanding. It is rather obvious God wants us to \u201cpay attention to, to focus on, to diligently and thoughtfully consider\u201d His revelation \u2013 all of which you will find in the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms.<\/p>\n Even in the most corrupt place on earth, the birthplace of religion and politics, Dany\u2019el was able to separate himself from these deceptions to meet with God. And that means that when Yahowah asked Abram to walk away from Babylon, it was more than a place \u2013 it was a state of mind.<\/p>\n Before we move on the prophetic revelation itself, I want you to please stop long enough to realize that the following prediction regarding the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019 is emerging from an extraordinarily thoughtful review of the purpose of the Towrah. When you understand the context, it is as if the Ma\u2019aseyah is walking right out of its pages \u2013 the Word becoming flesh.<\/p>\n This realization, of course, is the very thing the Yisra\u2019elites missed, for if they had \u201cpaid attention,\u201d they would have recognized that the means to mercy had walked right into the midst of their lives and land. Constantine\u2019s Universal Church made the same mistake. To create the Roman Catholic religion, and thereby to increase their control, power, and wealth, politicized popes removed the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019 from His Towrah<\/em> context and from Yahowah. By so doing, they misconstrued and miscommunicated the core of His message and mission of the Ma\u2019aseyah. To achieve their goals, the Christian Church wrapped their \u201cLord Jesus Christ\u201d in the mythological lore of Babylon. Let\u2019s not make the same mistake.<\/p>\n ********<\/p>\n Yada Yah\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n Was Writen by Craig of <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAn Introduction to God\u201d found at <\/p>\n All Glory be to Yahweh!<\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n Build a Swimming Pool in Kenya <\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n The Nairobi Business Directory \u2013 <\/p>\n *******<\/p>\n
