Scripture paints an entirely different picture. In fact, God knelt down to us so that we could stand with Him.<\/p>\n<p>While you may consider this foray into one of religion\u2019s greatest misconceptions a detour from our quest to understand how Yahowah saved us, it isn\u2019t. And that is because religious worship is the very thing God is saving us from.<\/p>\n<p>The 23<sup>rd<\/sup> Psalm is one of countless passages that covey the familial nature of the relationship God wants to achieve with man. Since we reviewed it at the end of the last chapter, I\u2019d like to examine the passage which some mistakenly believe suggests otherwise, that God wants people to \u201cbow down\u201d to Him. The most often quoted is Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Isaiah 45:23, and that is only because it is removed from its context and then erroneously restated by the false prophet Paul in Romans 11:4, 14:11, and Philippians 2:10. As a result, Christian pastors and priests refer to it frequently, albeit always unrelated to the prophetic story Yahowah is presenting through His actual prophet Yasha\u2019yahuw.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I see this as crucial, is that bowing down is completely incompatible with a loving family\u2014which is the entire purpose of the Covenant. It is the only reason for creation, for life, for the Torah, for the prophets. Without the Covenant, there would be no need for Passover and thus the crucifixion depicted in the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> Psalm.<\/p>\n<p>Bowing down is the antithesis of engaging in the <em>beryth <\/em>\/ family-oriented relationship Yahowah described in His conversations with Abraham, where He asked the patriarch to: \u201cwalk away from human corruptions,\u201d \u201cto trust Him and to rely upon Him,\u201d \u201cto walk to Him, thereby becoming perfect,\u201d \u201cto observe, closely examining and carefully considering this one and only Covenant,\u201d and \u201cto circumcise our sons so that we and they remember the Covenant\u2019s conditions and benefits.\u201d Moreover, bowing down alters the purpose of the supreme sacrifice we just read about in the Psalm, changing it from love to control.<\/p>\n<p>Before we begin this investigation, please understand that I see Yahowah as He depicts Himself in Scripture, as head of the family. It\u2019s His family, and it\u2019s His home\u2014it\u2019s even His universe. He sets the rules, and He is in charge. His existence, power, and mercy are limitless. I am nothing without Him. But that said, everything I read in His Word suggests that Yahowah desires a loving, personal, relaxed, conversational, engaged, especially friendly family oriented, relationship with us. While those who live and die outside of these familial bonds will bow down to Him in judgment, those He has redeemed will sit by His side and call him Father.<\/p>\n<p>To understand that it is the proud who will bow down, I\u2019d like to review Yahowah\u2019s prophetic proclamation in context. Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah 45 is prophetic, historical, and enlightening. It begins by announcing the selection of Cyrus as Yahowah\u2019s implement to subdue the nations, and in particular, Babylon, the seat of Satan. In this light, it\u2019s particularly interesting that Cyrus wouldn\u2019t be born for a couple of centuries and that Babylon at the time was the world\u2019s lone superpower.<\/p>\n<p>To appreciate Yahowah\u2019s willingness to use Cyrus army destroy Babylon, while at the same time condemning his religion, we have to begin our investigation in the previous chapter, in Isaiah \/ Yasha\u2019yahuw 44:24.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is what<\/strong> (<em>koh<\/em>) <strong>Yahowah<\/strong> (efei \u2013 hwhy)<strong>, your<\/strong> <strong>Redeemer<\/strong> (<em>ga\u2019al \u2013 <\/em>your Savior)<strong>,<\/strong> <strong>who fashioned and formed you<\/strong> (<em>yatsar<\/em>)<strong> from the womb <\/strong>(<em>min beten<\/em>)<strong>, says <\/strong>(<em>\u2018amar<\/em> \u2013 promises and affirms, claims and declares): <strong>\u2018I am <\/strong>(<em>\u2018anky<\/em>) <strong>Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy) <strong>who made<\/strong> (<em>\u2018asah<\/em> \u2013 who acted to perform and engaged in the work necessary to fashion and create) <strong>everything<\/strong> (<em>kol<\/em>)<strong>, spreading out<\/strong> (<em>natah<\/em> \u2013 stretching, extending, expanding, and curving) <strong>the heavens<\/strong> (<em>samaym<\/em> \u2013 the universe and the spiritual realm) <strong>alone, by Myself<\/strong> (<em>la bad \u2013 <\/em>alone at the time and without any assistance)<strong>.<\/strong> <strong>I reached out to stamp out <\/strong>(<em>raqa\u2019<\/em>) <strong>the material realm<\/strong> (<em>\u2018erets<\/em> \u2013 matter, the earth, and land) <strong>unassisted,\u2026\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 44:24)<\/p>\n<p>Continuing to speak through His prophet, Yahowah said that He was the one who <strong>\u201c\u2026nullifies<\/strong> (<em>parar<\/em> \u2013 thwarts and revokes, frustrates and makes ineffectual) <strong>the signs, examples, accounts, and miracles<\/strong> (<em>\u2018owt<\/em>) of boastful liars and false prophets (<em>badym<\/em> \u2013 prideful orators whose speech deviates from the truth)<strong>, and makes fools of, shining light on and exposing<\/strong> (<em>halal<\/em>) <strong>those who divide spiritually, allotting a portion to themselves<\/strong> (<em>qasam<\/em> \u2013 diviners in league with Lord \/ <em>Ba\u2019al<\/em>, religious officials who dissimulate (i.e., those who change things to create a false appearance), those who claim communicate with the dead (i.e., prayers to Mary and other so-called saints))<strong>, who turns<\/strong> (<em>suwb<\/em>) <strong>learned sages and wise men<\/strong> (<em>hakam<\/em>) <strong>back<\/strong> (<em>\u2018ahor<\/em> \u2013 refuses association) <strong>and renders their understanding<\/strong> (<em>da\u2019at<\/em> \u2013 wisdom and knowledge, perceptions) <strong>foolish and perverse<\/strong> (<em>\u2018ewyl<\/em> \u2013 speaking of one who while wrong mocks that which is right, a person who is quarrelsome, licentious, disdainful, and evil (from 1QIsa because the MT has \u201cwise\u201d))<strong>\u2026\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 44:25)<\/p>\n<p>Simply stated: God is anti-religious because religion causes death and separation.

And so here, Yahowah is providing us with an accounting of the \u201c<em>\u2018owtsar choshek<\/em> \u2013 repository of intoxications and poisons which comprise the arsenal of ignorance and confusion.\u201d This, the \u201ctreasury and storeroom of darkness,\u201d is \u201c<em>matmown mictar<\/em> \u2013 the secret cache\u201d of evil.<\/p>\n<p>Satan, under the title and names Lord \/ Ba\u2019al \/ Bel, in league with cleric and king, convinced the Babylonians to worship him as the sun god. Their religion, rife with secret rites, became known as \u201cMystery Babylon.\u201d Its myths still serve as the foundation of Christianity and Socialist Secular Humanism. So in this chapter discussing Satan\u2019s most effective religious disguise, Yahowah puts the Adversary in his place.<\/p>\n<p>And by examining this passage, we have our first clue in our quest to know whether or not Yahowah wants His children, the descendants of Ya\u2019aqob, to bow down before Him \u2013 or whether prostration is intended for the purveyors of corruption. <em>Bachyr<\/em>, which was used in conjunction with Yisra\u2019el, is the opposite of bowing. Yahowah chooses relationships based upon mercy and affection. But this relationship is not for everyone; God is selective. There are two distinct groups of people and spirits presented throughout this prophecy. Their status and fates differ markedly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThat they may know <\/strong>(<em>ma\u2019an yada\u2019<\/em>) <strong>from the rising <\/strong>(<em>min mizrach<\/em> \u2013 place of sunrise, east) <strong>and from setting <\/strong>(<em>wa min ma\u2019arab<\/em> \u2013 place of sunset, west) <strong>sun <\/strong>(<em>shemesh<\/em>)<strong>, that <\/strong>(<em>ky<\/em>) <strong>there is in the end nothing <\/strong>(<em>\u2018ephec <\/em>\u2013 everything ultimately ceases) <strong>apart from <\/strong>(<em>bal\u2019ady<\/em> \u2013 disassociated from) <strong>Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy)<strong>. There is no other <\/strong>(<em>\u2018ayn \u2018owd<\/em>)<strong>.<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 45:6)<\/p>\n<p>Everything ceases to exist without the One who caused everything to exist. I suppose that\u2019s why His name means \u201cI Exist.\u201d Relying on nations even as strong and mighty as Babylon (or America), and relying upon religious institutions as strong and mighty as was the Babylonian Mystery Religion (or Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or Socialist Secular Humanism), leads in the end to a state of nonexistence. Disassociated from Yahowah we are no more.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on, I\u2019m embarrassed to say that it took the seventh edit pass through this chapter before I finally figured out how to properly translate this next passage. Recognizing that nothing is more important to Yahowah than His Covenant, and that loving relationships require freewill, I simply assumed that God created evil as an alternative to good, so that we\u2019d have the option to trust His Towrah \u2013 Teaching (good) or rely on any one of a wide variety of human institutions (bad). But on further examination, I discovered that the word translated \u201ccreate,\u201d <em>bara\u2019<\/em>, had more than one meaning. And with that meaning in mind, this next statement becomes especially profound:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI form <\/strong>(<em>yatsar<\/em> \u2013 I fashion and shape) <strong>light <\/strong>(<em>\u2018owr<\/em>) <strong>and separate from <\/strong>(<em>bara\u2019<\/em> \u2013 cut down, cut off, and disassociate from) <strong>darkness <\/strong>(<em>choshek<\/em> \u2013 the absence of light)<strong>. I engage in <\/strong>(<em>\u2018asah<\/em> \u2013 I do, perform, and cause)<strong> that which is good and beneficial <\/strong>(<em>towb <\/em>\u2013 pleasing, joyful, favorable, and right (from 1QIsa, the MT reads \u201cwell-being\u201d) <strong>and cut ties with <\/strong>(<em>bara\u2019<\/em> \u2013 cut off, cut down, disassociate and separate from) <strong>evil<\/strong> (<em>ra\u2019<\/em> \u2013 that which is improper, harmful, violent and troubling, malignancy, wickedness, and the Adversary)<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I <\/strong>(<em>\u2018any<\/em>)<strong>,<\/strong> <strong>Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy)<strong>,<\/strong> <strong>engage in<\/strong> (<em>\u2018asah<\/em> \u2013 act upon, cause, and perform)<strong> all of this <\/strong>(<em>kol \u2018eleh<\/em>)<strong>.\u201d <\/strong>(Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 45:7)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re paying close attention, you may have noticed in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> verse, Yahowah used <em>choshek<\/em> in association with <em>\u2018owtsar<\/em> to describe the repository of ignorance and confusion which comprised the arsenal of darkness that would be taken away from Babylon. He is, therefore, reinforcing this process whereby the Lion of Babylon eventually becomes a toothless tiger.<\/p>\n<p>As for this passage, I learned an important lesson. Just because I might think I know what a word means, like <em>bara\u2019<\/em>, I shouldn\u2019t assume that there isn\u2019t more to learn about it. Turns out that all but one of the twelve lexicons I typically consult, listed \u201ccutting (off, out, down, away, and ties), paring, and separating\u201d as appropriate definitions for <em>bara\u2019<\/em>, which also means \u201ccreate,\u201d especially in the sense of \u201cinitiating a process.\u201d So here, since the context overwhelmingly favors \u201cseparate\u201d and \u201ccut ties with\u201d over \u201ccreate,\u201d these definitions are required. Otherwise, by failing to choose them, this would be the only passage in Scripture which associates darkness and evil with Yahowah.<\/p>\n<p>Also, so that you know, in Yahowsha\u2019 \/ Joshua 17:15 and 18, \u201ccut down\u201d in reference to trees, is the only acceptable translation of <em>bara\u2019<\/em>, as it is in Yachezq\u2019el \/ Ezekiel 23:47, where those \u201ccut away, separated, and disassociated\u201d are those in opposition to Yah.<\/p>\n<p>These things known, in the first of these three statements, God is saying that He \u201c<em>yatsar<\/em> \u2013 fashions and forms\u201d light, the manifestation of energy most representative of His spiritual nature. Therefore, not only does He separate Himself from darkness, not allowing the evil, ignorance, and corruption it represents into His home, but also that by being separated from His light, we are cut off from Him, from enlightenment, and from life.<\/p>\n<p>In the second statement, we find Yah \u201c<em>\u2018asah<\/em> \u2013 engaging in\u201d that which is good, beneficial, pleasing, and right\u201d while cutting ties with that which is harmful and troubling. In this regard, the Covenant, which is the ultimate good, requires both parties to engage for it to be meaningful. God\u2019s participation is to provide its benefits, something He accomplished by His actions on Passover, Unleavened Bread, FirstFruits, and Seven Sabbaths.<\/p>\n<p>With this understanding, the parting line now makes perfect sense. While God does not \u201cdo\u201d evil, He does engage, and He initiates the process of separating from darkness while cutting ties with evil. With this understanding and otherwise challenging passage is resolved with a modicum effort.<\/p>\n<p>I also find it interesting that \u201c<em>yatsar<\/em> \u2013 I form\u201d light, and \u201c<em>\u2018asah<\/em> \u2013 I engage in\u201d that which is good and beneficial, were both prefixed in the first person masculine singular, which means that Yahowah, who is speaking here in first person, is personally associating Himself with these two things. There are no personal references associated with <em>bara\u2019<\/em> either time it was deployed.<\/p>\n<p>These things known, the existence of good and evil was still part of Yahowah\u2019s plan for establishing credible choice. Without a choice there could be no real love. So God set good and evil in the context of existence and nonexistence to underscore the nature of the life and death choice we are all encouraged to make. In this verse Yahowah is also warning us not to fall for man\u2019s most prevalent folly\u2014relying upon and reveling in the creation rather than the Creator.<\/p>\n<p>The opening verb of the next verse in the Dead Seas Scrolls is \u201cShout out,\u201d rather than the rabbinical \u201cDrip down,\u201d so we\u2019ll go with that. In fact, the Masoretes were so heavy-handed with Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah 45, to understand Yahowah\u2019s message we are going to have to rely on the Qumran manuscripts. In the fourth, fifth, and eighth through eleventh verses, there are more differences than there is commonality between the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>-century scrolls and the Masoretic Text. This is a significant problem because while the <em>King James Version<\/em> is a revision five times over of Catholicism\u2019s Latin Vulgate and not a translation of any Hebrew text, more recent translations claim to be based upon this highly flaw and often arbitrary rabbinical script produced in the 11<sup>th<\/sup>-century CE. So if you are verifying these translations, you\u2019ll have to look twelve centuries beyond the Masoretic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cShout out <\/strong>(<em>heydad<\/em> \u2013 cheer) <strong>spiritual realm <\/strong>(<em>shamaym<\/em> \u2013 heavens as the abode of God)<strong> from above <\/strong>(<em>min ma\u2019al<\/em> \u2013 from the higher and greater dimensions)<strong> and also earnest seekers <\/strong>(<em>shachar<\/em> \u2013 those focusing upon and strongly desiring the relationship)<strong>.

They come from the Creator, not from His creation.<\/p>\n<p>And while this stream comprised of the right stuff is streaming down from heaven, while salvation is blossoming, and vindication is growing, only earnest seekers partake. The answer is easy to find because it is presented at the beginning of the most prolific and credible book ever written. But just because it is available, doesn\u2019t mean that there are many takers.<\/p>\n<p>The Adversary\u2019s problem was identical to mankind\u2019s dilemma.

Sunday worship, Halloween, Christmas, Lent, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday were designed to replace the Sabbath, FirstFruits, Tabernacles, Atonement, Unleavened Bread, and Passover because the Catholics thought they had a better plan. A self-aggrandized, dictatorial clergy acting as intermediaries and promoting the myth of hell fire and bowing down in submission to a god who should be feared, replaced Yahowah\u2019s personal and loving, familial relationship. Pride and self-reliance caused them to oppose their Maker and quarrel with His Word and plan.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know and appreciate the <em>Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>, you won\u2019t understand that they are prophetic signs pointing to Yahowsha\u2019, or that they are basis of Yahowah\u2019s plan of redemption. And that understanding is required to comprehend this statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThus says <\/strong>(<em>koh \u2018amar<\/em>) <strong>Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy)<strong>, the Creator of the signs<\/strong> (<em>bara\u2019 \u2018owth<\/em> \u2013 the one who initiated and set apart the miraculous and distinguishing means to communicate [the Masoretic says: the Holy One of Israel, and His Maker.])<strong>: Ask Me <\/strong>(<em>sa\u2019al<\/em>) <strong>concerning My children <\/strong>(<em>\u2018al beny<\/em>)<strong> and concerning the work and acquisition of My instructive hands <\/strong>(<em>wa \u2018al po\u2019al tsawah yady<\/em>)<strong>.\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 45:11 from 1QIsa)<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to note that the first letter in Yahowah\u2019s name is formed by drawing an outstretched hand: i. This is instructive because it reveals that Yah is reaching down and out to His children, which are in turn depicted by the two individuals reaching up to Him: ee. These individual stand either side of the Hebrew Wah f, drawn as a tent peg to depict the work of Yahowah which is to help us grow while protecting us.<\/p>\n<p>The miracle of redemption as outlined in the seven <em>Miqra\u2019ey<\/em> explains that all who chose to participate in the Covenant Yahowah become His children. While we experience a marvelous change of state through this process, and are able to maneuver in time, becoming immortal, the real blessing of the signs is becoming part of Yahowah\u2019s family, living in His home, and receiving His inheritance. Understanding this transformation, restoration, and reward should be at the top of our agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The reason Yahowah ties \u201cthe miraculous signs\u201d to \u201cHis work\u201d \u201con behalf of His children\u201d is that the seven <em>Miqra\u2019ey<\/em> Invitations, like the seven days of Creation, collectively explain the what, when, why, and how of the seminal events in His plan of adoption will unfold. An astute reader in Yasha\u2019yah\u2019s day would have been able to pinpoint the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s arrival in Yaruwshalaim (Dany\u2019el 9\u2019s 173,880 days from <em>Abyb<\/em> 1, 444 BCE, correlated to our Georgian calendar sets the arrival at March 28, 33 CE, four days before Passover), the day of His Passover sacrifice (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #1, <em>Pesach<\/em>, Friday, April 1, 33 CE; known to God as <em>Abyb<\/em> 14, 4000 Yah), the day His soul descended through <em>Gehenna<\/em> and into <em>She\u2019owl<\/em> during Unleavened Bread (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #2, <em>Matsah<\/em>, a Sabbath, April 2, 33 CE), the day of His reunification with God on FirstFruits (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #3, <em>Bikuwrym<\/em> on the first day of the week, April 3, 33 CE), the day the Spirit would enlighten and empower those who were called-out to share the message of Seven Sabbaths (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #4, <em>Shabuw\u2019ah<\/em>, May 22<sup>nd<\/sup>, 33 CE), the day He will return for His children to harvest saved souls on Trumpets (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #5, <em>Taruw\u2019ah<\/em>, <em>Tishri<\/em> 1, falls in late September or Early October on our pagan calendars and will be fulfilled on or prior to its occurrence in 2026), the first day of the Tribulation (November 14, 2026), the day of His return in power and glory to reaffirm His Covenant on the Day of Reconciliations (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #6, <em>Yowm Kippurym<\/em>, Monday, October 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, 2033; known to Yahowah as <em>Tishri<\/em> 10, 6000 Yah) and the first day of the Millennial celebration of Shelters (<em>Miqra\u2019<\/em> #7, <em>Sukah<\/em>, the Sabbath of October 8, 2033\u201440 <em>Yowbel<\/em> from the fulfillment of the first four <em>Miqra\u2019ey<\/em> in 33 CE).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Son, Yahowah says: <strong>\u201cI <\/strong>(<em>\u2018any<\/em>) <strong>will<\/strong> <strong>arouse Him <\/strong>(<em>\u2018uwr<\/em> \u2013 awaken) <strong>with the truth leading to vindication <\/strong>(<em>ba tsedeq<\/em> \u2013 with honesty and fairness justly doing what is right, thereby acquitting Him)<strong>.

Cyrus was a sun-god-worshiping pagan idolater. He was never truthful nor upright, much less vindicated. He didn\u2019t rebuild or restore <em>Yaruwshalaim<\/em> \/ Jerusalem. And Babylon\u2019s punisher didn\u2019t even issue the decree that freed the Yahuwdym from captivity so that they could rebuild the city. It was a declaration from Artaxerxes which started Dany\u2019el\u2019s countdown to the Ma\u2019aseyah. Moreover, Cyrus did it expressly for the money, unlike Yahowsha\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>********<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn Introduction to God\u201d is found at <\/p>\n<p>And Was Writen by Craig of <\/p>\n<p>All Glory be to Yahweh!<\/p>\n<p>*******<\/p>\n<p>Build a Swimming Pool in Kenya <\/p>\n<p>*******<\/p>\n<p>The Nairobi Business Directory \u2013 <\/p>\n<p>*******<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/watch\/\">Make Money Online<\/a> \u2013 For Real \u2013 <\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt><\/dt>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dd>\u00a0\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Yada Yah Book 4: The Way Home \u2026How We Were Saved 6 Yashuw\u2019ah \u2013 Salvation \u00a0No Greater Love\u2026 Before we delve further into the nature of the Sacrifice Yahowsha\u2019 was predicted to make on our behalf, it may be instructive to dispel an egregious myth\u2014that God wants to be worshiped.
