While Yahowsha\u2019 volunteered to serve as the Passover Lamb, the sin He bore was ours, and was thus represented by the bull, Satan\u2019s most universal guise. And that is why par<\/em> is from parar<\/em>, addressing the adversary who \u201cseeks to frustrate\u201d God by encouraging men and women \u201cto violate and break, voiding\u201d the Covenant with rhetoric which is \u201cineffectual and divisive\u201d effectively \u201csplitting and separating\u201d us from God. That then is the symbolism and functionality of this sacrificial animal.<\/p>\n

Continuing with His instructions regarding the work of the mashyach<\/em>, which is to prepare us to enter God\u2019s home, we learn: \u201cAnd<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) he shall bring with him<\/strong> (bow\u2019 \u2018eth<\/em>) the bull<\/strong> (ha par<\/em>) to<\/strong> (\u2018el<\/em>) the doorway<\/strong> (petah<\/em>) of the brilliant Tent<\/strong> (\u2018ohel<\/em> \u2013 the shining Home and household) of the Meeting Time and Place<\/strong> (mow\u2019ed<\/em> \u2013 the appointed assembly and festival feast) to approach the presence<\/strong> (la paneh<\/em>) of Yahowah<\/strong> (efei),<\/strong> and he shall sustain and uphold by laying<\/strong> (camak<\/em> \u2013 he will offer support by placing) his hand<\/strong> (yad<\/em>) upon the head<\/strong> (\u2018al ro\u2019sh<\/em>) of the bull<\/strong> (par<\/em> \u2013 that which frustrates and voids, violates and breaks apart, that which is ineffectual and divisive) before Yahowah<\/strong> (paneh<\/em> efei \u2013 from the DSS) and he shall take the life<\/strong> (wa shachat<\/em> \u2013 he shall slaughter) accordingly of the bull<\/strong> (\u2018eth ha par<\/em> \u2013 therefore of that which is ineffectual and divisive) to approach the presence<\/strong> (la paneh<\/em>) of Yahowah<\/strong> (efei).<\/strong><\/p>\n

And<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) the anointed<\/strong> (ha mashyach<\/em> \u2013 the chosen and set-apart servant, the designated, dedicated, and devoted) mediator<\/strong> (ha kohen<\/em> \u2013 priest who ministers by providing reconciliation) shall obtain<\/strong> (laqah<\/em> \u2013 select, accept, grasp hold of, and receive, taking away) some of the blood of the bull<\/strong> (min dam ha par<\/em>) and he shall bring it with him<\/strong> (wa bow\u2019 \u2018eth<\/em>) to God\u2019s <\/strong>(\u2018el<\/em>) radiant Home<\/strong> (\u2018ohel<\/em> \u2013 the brilliant tent, dwelling place, and household) of the Meeting Time and Place<\/strong> (mow\u2019ed<\/em> \u2013 the appointed assembly and festival feast).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) the mediator<\/strong> (ha kohen<\/em> \u2013 priest who ministers by providing reconciliation, the one who acts and serves as an intermediary) shall immerse<\/strong> (sabal<\/em> \u2013 shall plunge and soak, dip and bathe) accordingly<\/strong> his finger<\/strong> (\u2018eth \u2018etsba\u2019<\/em>) in the blood<\/strong> (ba ha dam<\/em>) and he shall sprinkle<\/strong> (wa nazah<\/em> \u2013 he shall spatter) out of the blood<\/strong> (min ha dam<\/em>) seven<\/strong> (sheba\u2019<\/em> \u2013 as a promise and formula) times<\/strong> (pa\u2019am<\/em> \u2013 occurrences as a pattern of how to conduct one\u2019s life) with<\/strong> his finger<\/strong> (\u2018eth \u2018etsba\u2019 \u2013 <\/em>from the DSS) to approach the presence<\/strong> (la paneh<\/em>) of Yahowah<\/strong> (efei), while before and facing<\/strong> (\u2018eth paneh<\/em>) the curtain<\/strong> (poreketh<\/em> \u2013 the veil or fabric divider) of the set-apart sanctuary<\/strong> (ha qodesh<\/em> \u2013 that which is devoted and dedicated to God).\u2019\u201d <\/strong>(Qara\u2019<\/em> \/ Called-Out \/ Leviticus 4:4-6)<\/p>\n

So from this we learn that the service of the one who is \u201cmashyach<\/em> \u2013 designated, devoted, and dedicated\u201d leads us to the very doorway of Yahowah\u2019s home by way of the Mow\u2019ed<\/em>, also known as the Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>. And that when the \u201cmashyach<\/em> \u2013 chosen and set-apart servant\u201d takes the life out of everything which frustrates and voids the covenant, separating us from God, we are prepared to approach God via these same seven Mow\u2019ed Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>. We also discover that there is a direct correlation between being \u201cmashyach<\/em> \u2013 anointed\u201d and sabal<\/em>, the act of \u201cimmersion and bathing.\u201d<\/p>\n

These same atoning and reconciling concepts are reinforced twice more in Qara\u2019<\/em>, in 4:16 and 6:15. But so that we don\u2019t lose site of the prophecy regarding the \u201cset-apart service of the manifestation of the message,\u201d let\u2019s table our review of mashyach<\/em> for a moment and return to Dany\u2019el.<\/p>\n

The \u201cmanifestation of the message\u201d<\/strong> is from nagyd<\/em>, a masculine noun which can also be rendered \u201cauthorized ruler or worthy and valuable individual. Nagyd<\/em> speaks of a \u201cleader who possesses the official status needed for governing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The root of nagyd<\/em> is nagad<\/em>, which reveals a great deal more about the word, telling us that this anointed individual is \u201ca conspicuous messenger, standing out in front in plain sight.\u201d He is \u201cstraightforward, manifesting and announcing, exposing and predicting, explaining and certifying, making known and acknowledging someone and something.\u201d So the \u201cmashyach<\/em> \u2013 set-apart servant\u201d is a \u201cconspicuous messenger and manifestation\u201d who \u201cannounces, exposes, and explains\u201d Yahowah\u2019s Word while making God \u201cknown\u201d to us. Sure sounds like a perfect depiction of Yahowsha\u2019 to me.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, nagad<\/em> can mean \u201cto stream or flow,\u201d and thus it is suggestive of Howsha\u2019s \/ Hosea\u2019s prediction that the Ma\u2019aseyah would be a \u201cstream, cistern, fountain, and well of living waters.\u201d Spelled the same way, but vocalized differently, neged<\/em> is also indicative of the Ma\u2019aseyah, denoting someone who is \u201cupright, conspicuously straight forward in our presence and before our eyes.\u201d It speaks of someone who \u201ccorresponds or parallels\u201d another, just as Yahowsha\u2019 represents Yahowah.<\/p>\n

By examining all three variations of the Hebrew root ngd<\/em> we discover that the Ma\u2019aseyah will be \u201can authorized messenger,\u201d <\/strong>in recognition of the fact that Yahowsha\u2019 is the living witness to the Towrah. He is the \u201cone who possesses the official status needed for governing and leading,\u201d<\/strong> fitting in that the Ma\u2019aseyah is the one who does Yah\u2019s business. The Redeemer described in this passage will be a \u201cmanifestation who announces, exposes, and predicts,\u201d<\/strong> all of which fit Yahowsha\u2019s ministry. Yahowah \u201cmanifest\u201d<\/strong> Himself in the form of a man to \u201cannounce\u201d<\/strong> to men what He is like\u2014to \u201cexpose\u201d<\/strong> His nature. And to \u201ccertify\u201d<\/strong> His status. Yahowsha\u2019 punctuated His \u201cmessage\u201d<\/strong> with prophetic \u201cpredictions\u201d<\/strong> from the destruction of the Temple to the reconstitution of the nation of Israel. More that any man, the Ma\u2019aseyah \u201cconspicuously stood out in front of men, boldly declaring and explaining\u201d <\/strong>His purpose. He \u201cdenounced\u201d<\/strong> religious leaders while \u201cacknowledging and confessing\u201d <\/strong>the Scriptures they claimed to follow. Yahowsha\u2019s words were \u201cbolder\u201d<\/strong> than any ever spoken. We have learned that Yahowah\u2019s shem<\/em> is His \u201creport,\u201d <\/strong>and that His report is Scripture. Yahowsha\u2019 recited these words, confirming and fulfilling them, just as Gabry\u2019el had predicted.<\/p>\n

We also discover that there are similarities between Gabry\u2019el\u2019s use of \u201cnagyd<\/em> \u2013 leader and messenger\u201d and Yasha\u2019yah\u2019s prophecies regarding the Ma\u2019aseyah, tying the predictions together. He famously wrote: \u201cFor unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the authority shall be upon His shoulders, and His name shall be called and summoned Wonderful Counselor, God Almighty, Everlasting Father, Leader of Reconciliation, \u2026and He will govern forever.\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw 9:6)<\/p>\n

After selecting words that suggest the Ma\u2019aseyah will be the human manifestation of Yahowah, Gabry\u2019el predicts when the \u201cSet-Apart Servant Manifesting the Message\u201d will arrive. From the decree to return to Jerusalem to the arrival of the Ma\u2019aseyah, there shall be \u201cseven weeks <\/strong>(sheba\u2019 shabuwa\u2019<\/em>) and sixty-two weeks <\/strong>(wa shabuwa\u2019 shishym wa shanaym<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>The reason for the split is that seven-sevens, or 49 years will transpire before Jerusalem is rebuilt and another sixty-two sevens, for a total of 69 weeks of years, will pass before the anointed manifestation and messenger arrives.<\/p>\n

Before we do the math, dive into history, and try to figure out why this is 69 weeks of years rather than the original 70 times 7 years, let\u2019s finish the passage. The words that follow, at least when amplified, are uncannily similar to Yahowsha\u2019s \u201cI am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me.\u201d First, the plain reading of Dany\u2019el\u2019s text says: \u201cShe will be restored <\/strong>(suwb<\/em>) and she shall be rebuilt <\/strong>(wa banah<\/em>): the way to grow <\/strong>(rachab<\/em>) and<\/strong> the means to being decisive about protection and separation <\/strong>(wa charuwts<\/em>), even in an oppressive time <\/strong>(wa ba tsowq ha \u2018eth<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

And <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) after <\/strong>(\u2018achar<\/em>) the sixty-two weeks <\/strong>(ha shabuwa\u2019<\/em> shishym wa shanaym<\/em>),<\/strong> He<\/strong> shall be cut off to establish <\/strong>(karat<\/em>) anointing <\/strong>(mashyach<\/em>), but not for Himself <\/strong>(wa \u2018ayn la<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u201d <\/strong>refers to Yaruwshalaim, while \u201cwill be restored\u201d<\/strong> is from suwb<\/em>. It speaks of \u201creturning\u201d to God and of its inhabitants \u201cturning around, changing their direction, attitude, and thinking\u201d so that they too can \u201creturn and be restored\u201d to fellowship.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe shall be rebuilt\u201d<\/strong> is from \u201cbanah<\/em>,\u201d which also conveys \u201cbeing reestablished firmly and permanently so as to endure.\u201d Yahowsha\u2019s atoning sacrifice on Mount Mowryah was established to serve as the permanent and enduring solution predicted by the Miqra\u2019ey<\/em> of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits. And speaking of Bikuwrym<\/em>, consistent with Yahowah\u2019s primary purpose in sending His Son, banah<\/em> means \u201cto formally create and then build up a family.\u201d God is enabling His Covenant.<\/p>\n

Consistent with \u201cstanding upright,\u201d the term Yahowah has used repeatedly to describe the Yahowsha\u2019 and His sacrifice, banah<\/em> conveys \u201cto set up erect.\u201d Banah<\/em> is \u201cto renew using existing materials\u201d and thus is in complete harmony with Yirmayahuw\u2019s \/ Jeremiah\u2019s prediction of the future renewal of the Covenant being based upon the existing Towrah.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not the end of banah,<\/em> nor its implications. Confirming His role as Redeemer, banah<\/em> means \u201cto restore, returning to a prior state, by changing one\u2019s status and condition, establishing a firm basis so that they may prosper abundantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same consonants vocalized differently designate the Yahowsha\u2019s occupation. Boneh<\/em> denotes a \u201ccraftsman, a builder who erects.\u201d Yahowsha\u2019 was a stonemason.<\/p>\n

The \u201cway to grow\u201d <\/strong>is from rachab<\/em>, or more accurately, from its root which is spelled the same way in the text. Here rachab<\/em> conveys the idea of \u201cbecoming larger and greater in every dimension\u201d as well as \u201chaving the room to expand.\u201d And from this the notions of \u201cenlarged public plazas where individuals meet\u201d and \u201cbroad boulevards and central thoroughfares where people travel more freely\u201d were derived. This is appropriate since the streets of Jerusalem are where mankind met God. It is the place God reestablished the thoroughfare back to Him. The \u201cway\u201d to Yahowah is through Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

And as the source of instruction regarding our redemption, reestablishing Yaruwshalaim, restores \u201cthe means to being decisive about protection and separation <\/strong>(wa charuwts<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>The Hebrew basis for \u201cdividing wall,\u201d which is often featured in English translations is derived from charuwts<\/em>. But as with so many Hebrew words, there is far more to charuwts than a \u201cdefensive barrier and rampart.\u201d It is also a \u201csharp-pointed cutting instrument\u201d which is often deployed in conjunction with a \u201cthreshing sledge.\u201d This is relevant because this is where grain (symbolic of saved souls) is separated from the husks and chaff which are blown by the wind and cast away.<\/p>\n

But there is yet another aspect of charuwts<\/em> which fits this announcement regarding our redemption. It conveys the idea of \u201cbeing persistently industrious and diligent so as to come to a proper determination and thereby render a decisive decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charuwts<\/em> is only translated \u201cwall\u201d in English bibles because a charuwts<\/em> is a protective device which cuts through the land, dividing and separating. In fact, it is safe to say that \u201cwall\u201d is a poor translation, with \u201cseparation\u201d being the preferred for this aspect of the word. Because if Gabry\u2019el had meant to convey the idea of erecting a fortification or partition, he would have used qyrach<\/em> or chowmah<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But Yah\u2019s messenger selected charuwts <\/em>specifically because it conveys the concepts of \u201ccutting, sharpening, separating, protecting, and deciding.\u201d He knew that Mattanyah would record Yahowsha\u2019 using the Greek variation. \u201cI came not to bring peace, but instead the sword of division and discord.\u201d (Mattanyah \/ Matthew 10:34) The Greek word for knife and discord, machaira <\/em>is derived from mache<\/em>, meaning \u201cvariance, dispute, division, and contention.\u201d In context, Yahowsha\u2019 is saying that each of us must make a decision: trust Yahowah or man. You are either with Him or against Him\u2014on one side of the divide or the other. Both Hebrew and Greek words speak of sharp implements that cause divisions requiring decisions.<\/p>\n

There is a foreboding side to charats,<\/em> also. It means \u201cto decide to issue a decree that maims and mutilates.\u201d The Rabbis did this very thing to their Ma\u2019aseyah. They made a poor decision, placing them on the wrong side of the separation.<\/p>\n

Along these lines, charats<\/em> means \u201cto pierce with a sharp object.\u201d We will read about the Ma\u2019aseyah being pierced<\/em> in Mizmowr \/ Psalm 22 and Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah 53, two of the most vivid, sobering, and profoundly telling predictions in Scripture. Also in Zakaryah \/ Zechariah we find Yahowah speaking of His final visit to Earth, saying: \u201cAnd I will pour out on the house of Dowd and on the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim the Spirit of mercy, favor, and acceptance, a plea for mercy so they will look upon Me whom they have pierced<\/em>, and they will weep and mourn for Him as one wails for an only begotten son.\u201d (Zakaryah \/ Remember Yah \/ Zechariah 12:10)<\/p>\n

Since the Mizmowr \/ Psalm, Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah, Dany\u2019el \/ Daniel, and Zakaryah \/ Zechariah were committed to parchment 500 to 1,000 years before Yahowsha\u2019s fulfillment of Passover, and maintained in the most well-read Scripture of all time, it\u2019s hard to hard to imagine literate people nailing God to a pole, piercing hands, feet, and side.<\/p>\n

The next portion of Gabry\u2019el\u2019s message to Dany\u2019el tells us that Yahowsha\u2019 would arrive in Yaruwshalaim during distressful days: \u201ceven in an oppressive time <\/strong>(wa ba tsowq ha \u2018eth<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong> Tsowq<\/em> communicates the \u201cconstraints that pressure and anguish, causing distress.\u201d It speaks of the presence of \u201ca troubling oppressor,\u201d in this case the Romans \u2013 one of the most repressive and perverted civilizations in the long and ugly history of oppressive human institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime\u201d<\/strong> is from \u2018eth,<\/em> meaning: \u201ca period or occasion where particular events are experienced which change how time is measured and fortunes vary.\u201d Considering the life changing import of Yahowsha\u2019s fulfillment of the Towrah\u2019s promises, this is certainly appropriate.<\/p>\n

Amongst all of the acts of redemption contained in Dany\u2019el\u2019s sweeping prophecy, of ending sin\u2019s sting forever and of reestablishing us, we are reminded that charats<\/em> has a foreboding nature by what comes next: \u201cAnd then <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) after <\/strong>(\u2018achar<\/em>) the sixty-two weeks <\/strong>(ha shabuwa\u2019<\/em> shishym wa shanaym<\/em>),<\/strong> He<\/strong> shall be cut off to establish <\/strong>(karat<\/em>) anointing <\/strong>(mashyach<\/em>), but not for Himself <\/strong>(wa \u2018ayn la<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCut off\u201d is a horrible term when it\u2019s being applied to Yahowah, our Creator and our Savior. It is from karat:<\/em> \u201cto cut off and cut down, to take away and to put asunder.\u201d On the dark side of the divide, karat<\/em> means: \u201cto eliminate and to kill.\u201d On the bright side, it also means \u201cto cut a deal,\u201d which is why Yahowah routinely uses karat<\/em> in conjunction with beryth<\/em> to let us know that He has \u201ccut\/established a Covenant\u201d with humankind.<\/p>\n

Collectively then, charuwts<\/em> and karat<\/em> indicate that Yahowsha\u2019s atoning sacrifice would be costly. His body would be \u201cmaimed, wounded, and killed by piercing with a sharp object.\u201d Vivid as this may be, and symbolic of being nailed to an upright pole on Passover as it appears, Dany\u2019el is providing but a hint compared to the horrid and yet glorious prophecies of Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah 53 and Mizmowr \/ Psalm 22 (where we will learn from whom Yahowsha\u2019 was karat <\/em>\/ cut off, where and when He was separated, and why).<\/p>\n

In the Hebrew text, the order of the words literally reads \u201che shall be cut off<\/strong> \/ he shall establish<\/strong> (karat<\/em>) anointed \/ anointing<\/strong> (mashyach<\/em>) and not<\/strong> (wa \u2018ayn<\/em>) for him<\/strong> (la<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong> So this can mean that the Suffering Servant would be cut off, establishing the means to becoming anointed, to be called-out, set-apart, and devoted and dedicated\u201d to God, but not for himself, or we can move mashyach<\/em> up in the text and replace \u201che\u201d with the \u201canointed set-apart servant\u201d and we have the Ma\u2019aseyah being cut off, but not for Himself.<\/p>\n

And speaking of the Ma\u2019aseyah, while mashyach<\/em> was once again scribed as an adjective and not as a title, meaning that it would be inappropriate based upon this application of this modifier to refer to Yahowsha\u2019 as \u201cha Mashyach<\/em> \u2013 the Messiah,\u201d through this descriptive term we have learned a great deal about the nature and purpose of Yahowsha\u2019. He is \u201cset-apart\u201d from Yahowah, \u201cdevoted and dedicated to serving\u201d us.<\/p>\n

This known, we cannot be sure what Gabry\u2019el actually told Dany\u2019el, because while much of the prophet\u2019s work is extant in the scrolls found in the caves above Qumran, this discussion isn\u2019t found in those ancient manuscripts. So we are left to wonder whether Gabry\u2019el was the first to use the title which has become so synonymous with Yahowsha\u2019 its Greek variation has become the basis of a religion and now serves as a last name: from ha Mashyach<\/em> to the Messiah to Christ to Christian and Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Based upon the evidence, there is only one thing we can say for sure: mashyach<\/em> is not being used as a title, here or anywhere else in the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms. And that means that there is no Scriptural basis for \u201cha Mashyach, the Messiah, Christ, Christian, or Jesus Christ.\u201d And since these conclusions are irrefutable, in my quest to find the title most appropriate and supported title for Yahowsha\u2019, I came upon Ma\u2019aseyah \u2013 meaning the \u201cWork of Yah.\u201d It is used twenty-three times throughout the Prophets and Writings (in Yirmayahuw \/ Jeremiah, in 1&2 Chronicles, in Ezra \/ Ezrah, and in Nachemyah \/ Nehemiah). As the \u201cservant doing the work of Yah, Ma\u2019aseyah was both appropriate and well attested.<\/p>\n

This known, to appreciate the meaning of \u201cbut not for himself\u201d <\/strong>we must turn our attention to Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah 53. There we find that the piercing and wounding were for our<\/em> sake, not His. \u201cHe was pierced through, wounded for ourtransgressions. He was crushed, bruised, and beaten for our perversity and immorality. The punishment fell upon Him for our well-being. By His scourging we are repaired, and made whole.\u201d And through the efforts of the \u201canointed set-apart service of the manifestation of the message\u201d we are \u201canointed and set-apart\u201d unto God so that we too can \u201cdevote ourselves to serving\u201d with Him.<\/p>\n

As challenging to decipher and indeed as revealing as all of this has been thus far, what Gabry\u2019el goes on to tell Dany\u2019el becomes especially difficult to translate and it appears to describe to a character who is the antithesis of the Ma\u2019aseyah. I suspect that this rather abrupt transition is because of scribal error. But since we don\u2019t have a textual witness to any of these passages predating the 11th<\/sup>-century Masoretic, all we can do is translate what we have and interpret what the text suggests.<\/p>\n

In the order the words have been retained, the next sentence reads: \u201cAnd then the city <\/strong>(wa ha \u2018iyr<\/em>) and the sanctuary<\/strong> (wa ha qodesh<\/em>) he will corrupt and destroy<\/strong> (shachath<\/em>) the<\/strong> people<\/strong> (\u2018am<\/em>) of the coming leader <\/strong>(nagyd ha bow\u2019<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before we rearrange the order of the words to make sense of this statement, let\u2019s review the meaning of the pivotal term. Nagyd<\/em>, which can convey many things including depicting most every type of \u201cleadership<\/a>\u201d from bad to good, from politician to shepherd, from cleric to general, and also denotes most every \u201cmanifestation of a message,\u201d from a \u201cconspicuous and forthright messenger\u201d to a complete charlatan, was previously modified by the adjective \u201cmashyach<\/em> \u2013 anointed set-apart servant.\u201d But this time nagyd<\/em> was accompanied by the verb \u201cbow\u2019<\/em> \u2013 to come,\u201d which in the participle form is a verbal adjective. So it appears as if we have two different leaders, one who will restore and rebuild and the other who \u201cwill arrive later\u201d to corrupt and destroy.<\/p>\n

Since this overall prophecy covers the arrival and mission of a redeeming Ma\u2019aseyah in the aftermath of Yaruwshalaim being restored, and is now addressing the city\u2019s and temple\u2019s subsequent destruction, let\u2019s reorder the words in this sentence to reflect this enlarged swath of time. \u201cThen <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) the<\/strong> people<\/strong> (\u2018am<\/em>) of the coming leader <\/strong>(nagyd ha bow\u2019<\/em>) will corrupt and destroy<\/strong> (shachath<\/em>) the city <\/strong>(wa ha \u2018iyr<\/em>) and the sanctuary<\/strong> (wa ha qodesh<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This \u201ccoming leader\u201d is the antithesis of the Ma\u2019aseyah, and thus is known as the \u201cAntichrist.\u201d His people, the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris Legions under the command of the future Emperor Titus, besieged Jerusalem and destroyed the temple in 70 CE. And as an interesting comparison in character, the precious metals contained in Yahowah\u2019s Temple were used to fund the construction of the Coliseum in Rome \u2013 the ultimate showcase for all that ails humankind.<\/p>\n

Since the \u201cpeople\u201d who destroyed the city and temple are \u201cof the coming leader,\u201d it behooves us to probe a little deeper if we want to know the country or region from which the \u201cAntichrist\u201d will emerge. So consider this quick historical review of the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris Legions.<\/p>\n

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

In 66 CE, Nero assigned the Macedonica Legion to Titus Flavius Vespasianus to counter the revolt in the Iudaea Provence. After Galilee surrendered without a fight, the Vth<\/sup> conquered the Samaritans before camping in Emmaus, where tombstones dedicated to Macedonian soldiers remain to this day. Then after Nero\u2019s suicide, and the proclamation of Vespasian as Emperor, his son Titus concluded the final siege and utter destruction of the city and temple. The Macedonian Legion returned home, eventually falling under the command of Emperor Hadrian. Ultimately the Vth<\/sup> Legion would be incorporated into the Byzantine army. But it is safe to say that its \u201cpeople\u201d at the time designated in the prophecy were principally Macedonians under the control of Rome.<\/p>\n

The XII Fulminata Legion, whose emblem was the thunderbolt, was created by Julius Caesar in 58 BCE, and it supported him during the Gallic wars. Sixty years later, the XIIth<\/sup> was deployed to guard the Euphrates River crossing near Melitene, in what is today Eastern Turkey. Six hundred years before Muhammad and his creation of Islam, and twelve-hundred years before the Mongol subjugation of Anatolia gave rise to the Ottoman Empire, this particular region was populated by Assyrians and Kurds. A hotly contested swath of earth along a great river at the intersection of Asia, Africa, and Europe, this land was controlled over the centuries by the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and then Romans. But eventually the Byzantines, Ottomans, and now Turkey would claim dominion \u2013 oppressing both Armenians and Kurds.<\/p>\n

The Fulminata Legion\u2019s most famous battle was Caesars campaign against Pompey and the Roman Senate in Pharsalus, Greece in 48 BCE during the Roman Civil War. It was by way of the XIIth<\/sup> that General Julius Caesar defeated the Roman Republic. A century later in 58 CE the XIIth Legion was used by Nero to defeat the Parthians, restoring Armenia to Roman control. But just four years later, the Fulminata was defeated by the Parthians and Armenians and forced to retreat from the region.<\/p>\n

Then in 66 CE, after the Zealot revolt had destroyed the Roman garrison in Jerusalem, XIIth<\/sup> Legion was sent to retaliate. But it was immediately rejected by Gaius Gallus, the Legatus of Syria, when he saw that the XIIth<\/sup> Legion was too weak to fight. Proving him right, while marching out of the region, the Legion was ambushed and defeated by the Galilean Zealot Eleazar ben Simon at Beit-Horon (named after a Canaanite deity) in Yisra\u2019el. However, the XIIth<\/sup> would be reformed and rearmed, ultimately fighting so ruthlessly in support of Flavious Vespasian in the war, its soldiers avenged their defeat and thereby facilitated their general\u2019s successful bid for the imperial throne. To a large degree, this fateful outcome occurred because the Jews were divided as various religious parties, landlords, and warlords vied for power.<\/p>\n

After the destruction of the city and its temple, the Fulminata Legion was briefly sent back to guard the Euphrates border at Melitene once again, before being reclaimed by Vespasian, this time in the Caucasus to support the allied kingdoms of Iberia and Albania. The XIIth<\/sup> was deployed again by Trajan to annex Armenia. So the \u201cpeople\u201d marching under the banner of the Lightning Bolt were originally Romans who were gradually outnumbered by Assyrians and Kurds.<\/p>\n

This brings us to the third and final Legion used to destroy Jerusalem: the XV Apollinaris. It also was recruited by Octavian, shortly after having founded the V Macedonian. They bore the emblem of Apollo. The XVth<\/sup> was initially deployed in Sicily but was garrisoned in Illyricum \u2013 a Roman Province which overlapped much of Macedonia and occupied today\u2019s Albania, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Kosovo. In 6 BCE the Legion fought for Emperor Tiberius against the Marcomanni in Pannonia \u2013 a region that is now Southern Hungary, Eastern Austria, Northern Croatia, Northwestern Serbia, Slovenia, and Bosnia. The Apollinaris remained in this region, fighting in Carnuntum along the Danube not far from Vienna until with was deployed to Syria by Nero in 61 CE to battle the Parthians.<\/p>\n

The XVth<\/sup> Legion was deployed to Alexandria briefly before engaging in the First Jewish Revolt. The XV Apollinaris defeated the towns of Jotapata in Northern Israel and Gamla in the Golan Heights. Under Titus\u2019s command they captured the Jewish traitor turned historian Josephus. Then after successfully suppressing the Jewish Revolt, the XVth<\/sup> returned to Carnuntum along the shores of the Danube. Therefore, the \u201cpeople\u201d of Apollo were a blend of Macedonians, Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats.<\/p>\n

Collectively then as a result of this review, Macedonians are the most prevalent among the \u201cpeople of the coming leader.\u201d But we cannot exclude Romans, Armenians, and Kurds, or to a lesser degree completely discount the possibility of Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats. All together, this scenario fits beautifully with other revelations found in Dany\u2019el which suggest that Satan\u2019s destructive messenger will hail from the intersection of the areas conquered by Alexander of Macedonia and later controlled by Imperial Rome. While the ultimate bad boy of history might emerge from the Balkans, it is likely that the man known as the \u201cAntichrist\u201d will call Macedonia home, before he rises up to also control the contiguous nations of Greece, Albania, Serbia and Kosovo, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy, en route to beguiling the whole world to submit to his influence.<\/p>\n

There is yet another potential interpretation of the previous prophetic statement which could be equally valid. It is worth considering because \u201c\u2018am<\/em> \u2013 people\u201d usually refers to God\u2019s \u201cfamily\u201d rather than to foreigners. Nagyd<\/em> has already been deployed in this passage to identify the Ma\u2019aseyah, someone who was both the \u201cmashyach<\/em> \u2013 anointed and set-apart as a servant\u201d and \u201cbow\u2019<\/em> \u2013 coming.\u201d Moreover, \u2018iyr<\/em> is also \u201cinhabitant\u201d and \u201cinner shrine,\u201d the \u201choly of holies\u201d or \u201cmost set-apart\u201d aspect of the Temple. And qodesh<\/em> speaks of the \u201cOne Who Is Set-Apart.\u201d From this perspective then please ponder the possibility of\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThen <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) the people related to <\/strong>(\u2018am<\/em> \u2013 the nation, family and kinsmen) the manifestation of the message <\/strong>(nagyd<\/em> \u2013 the leader with official status who serves as a messenger) who shall come <\/strong>(ha bow\u2019<\/em> \u2013 who shall arrive, return, and pursue a harvest),<\/strong> shall corrupt and ravage <\/strong>(shachath<\/em>\u2013 shall become corrupted, batter and cast off, become decayed and perverted, negating the value of while devastating) the interior of the temple <\/strong>(ha<\/em> \u2018iyr<\/em> \u2013 the inhabitant\u2019s inner shrine, the \u201choly of holies,\u201d or \u201cmost set-apart,\u201d depicting God\u2019s presence on the Ark of the Covenant; from \u2018ur<\/em> \u2013 one who is laid bare and exposed, who awakens and arises, the triumphant one who stirs up others by opening eyes) and the Set-Apart One <\/strong>(wa ha qodesh \u2013 <\/em>and the Most Set-Apart).\u201d <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el \/ God Judges and Vindicates \/ Daniel 9:26)<\/p>\n

Yahuwdym<\/em> and Yisra\u2019el<\/em>, known as \u201cJews\u201d and \u201cIsraelis\u201d today, were Yahowsha\u2019s \u201c\u2018am<\/em> \u2013 people, His kinsmen, His nation, and His family. Not only did they became corrupted, decayed and perverted, in Yasha\u2019yah we discover that their \u201cperversions and corruptions\u201d were cast upon Him. These people saw to it that their Ma\u2019aseyah was battered after they rejected Him, casting Him off, calling for His crucifixion, the sacrifice of the Upright One, Yahowah\u2019s Qodesh <\/em>\/ Set-Apart One. And they did this right on schedule, immediately upon Yahowah\u2019s arrival as Yahowsha\u2019 in Yaruwshalaim to observe Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits. Yet to their dismay, but in keeping with this prophecy, the Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>, and the root of \u2018iyr<\/em>, they witnessed a spiritual rebirth, one that opened eyes and awakened others. And while it was the Romans and their Legions which destroyed the Temple building, Yahuwdym and Yisra\u2019elites had long since \u201cshachath<\/em> \u2013 corrupted and perverted, effectively negating the value of\u201d Yahowah\u2019s presence and His Covenant in the inner sanctum of the Temple.<\/p>\n

One of the keys to interpreting the verse in this way lies in properly translating both \u2018iyr<\/em> and qodesh<\/em>. The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament <\/em>says of \u2018iyr<\/em>: \u201cfrequently has God as its subject, showing His involvement in the flow of history. It means to arouse and awaken, to excite.\u201d This definition augments all of the other positive aspects of the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s arrival. Moreover, since Yahowsha\u2019 was the living embodiment of the Temple of Yahowah who was cast off and battered, laid bare and exposed on a pole, only to arise, opening eyes of many, \u2018iyr<\/em> is more profoundly rendered in this way as opposed to \u201ccity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, while qodesh<\/em> is sometimes translated \u201csanctuary,\u201d there are two more apt and oft used Hebrew terms to denote the Temple: \u201cmiqdash<\/em> \u2013 the consecrated place\u201d and \u201cbeyth<\/em> \u2013 the Home and Temple\u201d of Yahowah. Additionally, we find that heykal<\/em> is commonly used to describe \u201ca large public building or temple.\u201d So since these words were not chosen, I\u2019m convinced that the duplicity with regard to \u2018iyr<\/em> and qodesh<\/em> was deliberate and intended\u2014providing two equally valid insights for us to consider. Even the dual variations of nagyd <\/em>supply further evidence that this passage was designed to be understood from two different perspectives.<\/p>\n

Adding a degree of credibility to these dual musings, Yahowsha\u2019 replayed the exact same riddle hours before He would embody it. Yahowsha\u2019 said, \u201cI am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.\u201d (Mattanyah \/ Matthew 26:61) The Ma\u2019aseyah was thereby telling us that He represented the Temple of Yahowah on earth, or more accurately, that the Temple foreshadowed His nature and purpose on earth. Further, while His physical body was destroyed on Pesach<\/em>, while His soul was separated and suffered on Matsah<\/em>, on Bikuwrym<\/em> the relationship was restored and Yahowsha\u2019 was reunited with Yahowah.<\/p>\n

Most of those who heard Yahowsha\u2019 proclaim this riddle thought that He was speaking merely of the building on Mount Mowryah and its construction. And in a way He was. Yahowah would see to it that the Temple itself would be destroyed by a ruler who would come, and within a short time of His celebration of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits because with His perfect and enduring sacrifice, Temple atonements were now and forever in full effect.<\/p>\n

As for rebuilding the edifice, I\u2019m confident of two things. The earthquake that will accompany Yahowsha\u2019s return will destroy the Anti-Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s temple, while at the same time reforming the Temple Mount to its former condition at the time of Abraham and Yitschaq. Once the mountain is reestablished, Yahowsha\u2019 will construct His Temple Himself directly over the place He fulfilled the promise of Pesach<\/em>, Matsah<\/em>, and Bikuwrym<\/em>. Sentimental as He is, I\u2019ll bet that the process from destruction to perfection takes three days \u2013 although with Sukah<\/em> approaching, He can take no more than five days to pitch His tent.<\/p>\n

This then brings us to the final phrase of the 26th<\/sup> verse. It reads: \u201cAnd<\/strong> his end<\/strong> and demise<\/strong> (wa qets<\/em> \u2013 his completion of a duration; from qatsats<\/em> \u2013 to cut off and cut down) in this overwhelming torrent<\/strong> (ba ha sheteph<\/em> \u2013 by being engulfed, washed, and swept away by an overwhelming force) when in a future era time approaches its conclusion <\/strong>(wa \u2018ad qets \u2013 <\/em>meanwhile at the limit, completion, and finish), war<\/strong> (milchamah<\/em>) is certain to be devastating with appalling lifelessness and stunning deforestation<\/strong> (charats shamem<\/em> \u2013 determined to lay waste, stupefying the masses, causing them to become awestruck, astonished, and grow numb, is determined to be cut out for abandonment and desolation, is decided to ravage, and will be decisive, leaving many destitute).\u201d <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el \/ God Judges and Vindicates \/ Daniel 9:26)<\/p>\n

And so it would be. From the time the Ma\u2019aseyah was cut off to this very day the world has been astonished by the fate of the Jews. Their land has been laid waste, left desolate and they have been destitute, stunned, and stupefied. But sadly, that is the good news. During the Tribulation there will be a \u201can outburst of overwhelming force\u201d brought to bare on Israel, \u201ca time of fighting so devastating, the weapons of war will deforest the earth, laying waste.\u201d People accustomed to war will be awestruck. But even that has a purpose. At the very end of mankind\u2019s six millennial rule on earth, some people will \u201ccharats<\/em> \u2013 focus on what is important.\u201d The events themselves will cause them to \u201ccharats<\/em> \u2013 pay attention and to think,\u201d and as a result, many will decide to trust Yahowah and His \u201cAnointed and Set-Apart Servant,\u201d the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2014the Implement Doing the Work of Yah.<\/p>\n

Bringing this all together, Gabry\u2019el told Dany\u2019el:<\/p>\n

\u201cSeventy sevens <\/strong>(shabuwa\u2019 shib\u2019iym<\/em>) are determined and decreed <\/strong>(chathak<\/em>) for your people <\/strong>(\u2018al \u2018am<\/em>) and for your set-apart city <\/strong>(wa \u2018al \u2018iyr qodesh<\/em>) to bring an end to rebellion <\/strong>(la kalah pesha\u2019<\/em>), to sign a document which seals up the guilt associated with sin <\/strong>(wa la chatham chata\u2019ah<\/em>), to completely perfect sinners<\/strong> (wa la tamam chata\u2019ah<\/em>), to provide reconciliation for the wrongdoing caused by perverse distortions <\/strong>(wa la kaphar \u2018awon<\/em>),<\/strong> to bring forth everlasting vindication and righteousness <\/strong>(wa la bow\u2019 tsedeq \u2018owlam<\/em>), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation and to prophecy <\/strong>(wa la chatham chazown wa naby\u2019<\/em>), and to anoint the Most Set-Apart <\/strong>(wa la mashach qodesh qodesh<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

And so <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) you should<\/strong> actually<\/strong> come to<\/strong> realize <\/strong>(yada\u2019<\/em>) and <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) you should<\/strong> choose to<\/strong> actually understand <\/strong>(sakal<\/em>) that from <\/strong>(min<\/em>) the act of conveying the word <\/strong>(mowtsa\u2019 dabar<\/em>) to restore <\/strong>(la suwb<\/em>) and to rebuild <\/strong>(wa la banah<\/em>) Yaruwshalaim <\/strong>(Yaruwshalaim<\/em>) until <\/strong>(\u2018ad<\/em>) the<\/strong> anointed manifestation of the message <\/strong>(mashyach nagyd<\/em>), seven weeks <\/strong>(sheba\u2019 shabuwa\u2019<\/em>) and sixty-two weeks <\/strong>(wa shabuwa\u2019 shishym wa shanaym<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

She will be restored <\/strong>(suwb<\/em>) and she shall be rebuilt <\/strong>(wa banah<\/em>): the way to grow <\/strong>(rachab<\/em>) and<\/strong> the means to being decisive about protection and separation <\/strong>(wa charuwts<\/em>), even in an oppressive time <\/strong>(wa ba tsowq ha \u2018eth<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

And <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) after <\/strong>(\u2018achar<\/em>) the sixty-two weeks <\/strong>(ha shabuwa\u2019<\/em> shishym wa shanaym<\/em>),<\/strong> He<\/strong> shall be cut off to establish <\/strong>(karat<\/em>) anointing <\/strong>(mashyach<\/em>), but not for Himself <\/strong>(wa \u2018ayn la<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) the<\/strong> people<\/strong> (\u2018am<\/em>) of the coming leader <\/strong>(nagyd ha bow\u2019<\/em>) will corrupt and destroy<\/strong> (shachath<\/em>) the city <\/strong>(wa ha \u2018iyr<\/em>) and the sanctuary<\/strong> (wa ha qodesh<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

And<\/strong> his end<\/strong> and demise<\/strong> (wa qets<\/em>) in this overwhelming torrent<\/strong> (ba ha sheteph<\/em>) when in a future era time approaches its conclusion <\/strong>(wa \u2018ad qets<\/em>), war<\/strong> (milchamah<\/em>) is certain to be devastating with appalling lifelessness and stunning deforestation<\/strong> (charats shamem<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>(Dany\u2019el 9:24-26)<\/p>\n
