Yahuwdah had a rotten attitude and demonstrated some unsavory behavior and yet they had not been declared “guilty”—and thus were not “desolate, separated and forsaken.” The implication is, “Yahowah lives” and if you want to live with Him “don’t go there.”

Yahowah was pleading with Yahuwdah not to visit Gilgal and Bethaven because they were both religious centers. “Gilgal” means “circle”—a word which shares the same root as “church” and “circus.” Both as we now know wre derived from “Circe,” the daughter of the sun god Helios. Circles, like halos, represent the sun and sun worship. Gilgal had a circle of stones where elitists engaged in cult worship. It was at Gilgal that Yisra’elite clerics confirmed kingship on Saul rather than relying on Yahowah for leadership so it was at Gilgal again that Saul’s authority was taken away as a result of his separation from Yahowah. Therefore to rely on religions and the religious is to be show’—desolate, separated and forsaken—also known as damned.

By comparing these two places and the words associated with them we can come to understand the essential truth embedded in the Ya’aqob stories Howsha’ has just shared. Ya’aqob was guilty of bad behavior and yet he became the embodiment of beryth and was saved because he chose relationship over religion, Yahowah over Shachar.

As further confirmation that show’ is a serious offence with Yahowah, it is used twice in the Third Statement Yah etched in stone. So to understand this important word let’s turn to the dictionary. According to Strong’s, the English word most similar to show’ is “desolate.” Merriam-Webster tells us that “desolate” is “an adjective derived from the Latin desolatus—to abandon.” It means “to be separated from a loved one, to be forsaken, deserted, lifeless, and alone.” To be desolate is “to be devoid of life, debilitated, joyless, miserable, sorrowful, wretched, unsatisfied, and dead.” In a biblical context, to forsake is to damn. So unlike ‘aown, show’ isn’t damaging; it is damning. Show’ is an express ticket to hell. ‘aown damages; show’ destroys. ‘Aown hinders; show’ kills.

Strong’s also tells us that show’ shares the same root as shav’, which is more correctly transliterated, show’, meaning “desolation, destruction, laying waste, ravaging, and ruining.” There is no hint of “vain,” in the sense of egotistical or failed, in the word although it is often mistranslated as such. As further confirmation that this was not the intended meaning, it was Gilead, not Gilgal that was known for its vanity—egotistical pride, affluence, hedonism, and for its failed balm.

The Third Statement revolves around show’: “You shall not tolerate (nasa’ – lift up, accept, advance, bear, respect, regard, yield to, or pardon) the name (shem – position, individual nature, designation, honor, authority, character, mark, fame, prominence, reputation, or report) of Yahowah (efei), your God (elohym – Supreme and Mighty One, Deity), in a desolate (show’ – separating, abandoning, forsaking, damning, deserting, lifeless, debilitating, wretched, destructive, evil, beguiling, false, ruinous, idolatrous, harmful, devastating, deceptive, or ravaging) way. For Yahowah (efei) will not exonerate(naqah – cleanse, acquit, hold blameless, leave unpunished, or forgive) him who accepts (nasa – lifts up, tolerates, advances, respects, yields to, or pardons) His authority (shem – position, nature, designation, honor, name, character, mark, prominence, reputation, and report) being used in damning (show’ – desolating, separating, abandoning, forsaking, lifeless, beguiling, false, or deceptive) way.” (Shemowth / Names / Exodus 20:7)

Since the Third Statement is central to our understanding of Yahowah’s instructions, since it’s a matter of life and death, and since it is always mistranslated to infer, “Thou shall not take the name of the LORD, thy God in vain,” let’s examine a few more passages on the subject. After all, show’ is unforgivable!

Moseh said: “You shall not revile (qalal – make light of, slight, or trivialize) God.” (Exodus 22:28) Strong’s says qalal means: “to diminish or treat as insignificant, to trifle with, to abate, decline, or cause to fade away, to bring into contempt, to curse or despise, to treat as vile.” Baker and Carpenter says: “to slight or to trivialize, to lighten the burden or consequence of judgment.” The basic idea is not to slight or trivialize God in your life. For example is not wise to replace His name with LORD or abate its use by creating a Rabbinic order to murder those who say Yahowah.

According to God, doing these things is a sin. He said so inLeviticus: “Speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying: ‘Whoever curses (qalal) his God shall bear his sin. And whoever blasphemes (naqab) the name of Yahowah (efei) shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes (naqab) the name of Yahowah (efei), he shall be put to death.” (Qara’ / Called-Out / Leviticus 24:15-16)

Yahowah is being very specific here. Anyone who speaks lightly of God (Hebrew ‘elohym, the general designation for deity), anyone who would make God an insignificant part of his or her life or diminish Him in their minds, has sinned and will face the consequence of their error. By refusing to take God seriously, they “shall bear (literally lift or carry) their chet, crimes or offenses.”

Blasphemy (naqab), however, is an extremely grave offense, an unforgivable act that leads directly to death. Naqab, means: “to violently pierce a person’s hand, to strike them through and cause pain” which is precisely what the Jews did to their Ma’aseyah. Naqab also means “to libel or slander,” and thus when used in reference to Yahowah, naqab is equivalent to show’—meaning the preaching or advocacy of false teaching, politics, or religion concerning God. Being religious in opposition to Yahowah—libeling Him in writing or slandering Him verbally, is seen as an act of extreme violence that leads to death.

This penalty was to be carried out by “the congregation,” that is, the children of Yisra’el in their theocratic assembly. The instructions were delivered to Yisra’el at the time and place of revelation. So don’t get carried away. While Yahowah will enforce His death penalty on those who substituted Constantine’s religion for Yahowsha’s relationship, those who etched His name out of His Scriptures and replaced it with Ba’al’s, and those who replaced His prescriptions with the laws those found in the Talmud and Catachisms, we are not to stone such false teachers. Instead, we can kill the message and crucify the messenger by exposing and repudiating them. We can shine the light of truth on the darkness of their deceptions.

But most importantly, the lesson is clear. The difference between qalal and naqab is that of spiritual indifference vs. false teaching. The first merely hurts us; the second kills all those around us—something Yahowah cannot tolerate.

There is one more passage worthy of our consideration on this subject. “I am Yahowah (efei). You shall not profane (chalal – pierce, wound, cause to die, or defile, taint, besmirch, sully, tarnish, and corrupt) My Set-Apart (qodesh) name (shem).” (Qara’ / Called-Out / Leviticus 22:31-32)

Yahowah’s name was pierced when Yahowsha’ was nailed to the pole. It is defiled when it is replaced with LORD, and it is besmirched, sullied, tarnished and corrupted by the religious revisions of men. God does not want us to do those things.

Howsha’ concludes the 12^th chapter on theme: “But by a prophet, Yahowah (hwhy) lifted up Yisra’el from the Crucible of Egypt (Mitsraym – oppression). And by a prophet, it was kept safe, cared for and preserved. Ephraim has provoked to bitter sorrow and grieving, so the Upright One (‘edon) will forsake (natash – reject, abandon, cease having a relationship with, desert, leave) him. His bloodguilt (dam – death) is on him. I will return his reproach (cherpah – contempt, scorn, insults, taunts, and slurs).” (Howsha’ / He Saves / Hosea 12:13-14)

Ephraim, representing ten of Yisra’el’s twelve tribes, had been rejected by Yahowah for the crime of show’. It would lead to the spiritual death of the nation.

efei

There are few words more important than show’, transliterated as shav’ and shaw’. Yahowah, in His Third Statement listed show’ as the only unforgivable sin. And that’s because show’ destroys the Spiritual relationship with our Heavenly Father, Yahowah, and our Heavenly Mother, the Comforter. Shaw’ is therefore murder—spiritual homicide. Show’ is the essence of infidelity—spiritual adultery. Shaw’ is robbery—unjustly stealing the blessings of Yahowah. Shaw’ is false testimony on behalf of the Deceiver. And show’ is always born of coveting sex, power, and money.

Let’s take a moment to examine the other Scriptural contexts in which show’ is used so as to appreciate the full significance of the unforgivable sin which, born of coveting, deceives, steals, adulterates, and kills, destroying the familiar relationship with God. The first use of show’ is in Exodus 20:7—the Third and final summary Statement Yahowah etched in stone before listing His Seven Instructions. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait long for an accurate definition of the word. We find it in Shemowth / Exodus 23:1.

As with the Statement, show’ is preceded by nasa’: “You shall not bear (nasa’ – lift up, carry, take, support, sustain, respect, endure, tolerate, forgive, accept, exalt, be swept away by, aid, assist, desire, make an insurrection, revolt, rebellion, or uprising against authority based upon) a deadly and deceptive (show’ – desolate, destructive, deception, ravaging and ruinous, devastating and wasteful, void and empty, worthless, untrue, and idolatrous) report (shema’ – message or news, spoken or published understanding, proclaimed information, that which is listened to).” (Shemowth / Names / Exodus 23:1) Remember, first and foremost, show’ means “desolate,” and desolate means “devoid of life.”

The same three Hebrew letters that form show’ should be vocalized show’ and translated: “badly mistreat, causing one to suffer,” or “ravage, causing ruin and destruction by way of tearing apart and separating.” This is why Yahowah finds show’ unforgivable. The desolating affect of its destructive deceptions are born by others separating them from God and eternal life. Those engaged in show’ are spiritual murderers.

Show’s shin or “sh,” waw or “w,” and alph the silent “ ’, ” becomes show’ah with the addition of the Hebrew he, or “h.” Based upon show’, show’ah means: “to ruin by way of calamity, to cause a state of destruction, to make desolate and lifeless, to destroy by storm, either wind or rain.” Remember, Satan is the “power and the prince of the air.” Stormy weather is under his purview.

Nasa’ also means: “beguile and deceive.” Vocalized differently, the same three Hebrew letters represent “lending money based on interest or usury” so as to artificially support and ultimately control. These are the principle means dark powers behind the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve Board, the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund are perpetrating their insurrection against Yahowah.

In this context show’, often vocalized shav’ or shaw’, is deceptive and deadly proclamations and messages. There is nothing vain, failed, foolish, or frivolous about this instruction. It is not about vanity or conceit. Yahowah is talking about any deceptive message, whether religious, political, journalistic, or academic, which causes lifelessness and destruction. Not only are we told not to advance such deadly delusions, we are instructed to be intolerant of them.

This is further confirmed by the next line: “Do not join (shyth) your hands (yad – power and strength, possessions and control, dominion, signs and share) with the wicked (rasha’ – ungodly, criminal, guilty, condemned, evil, and hostile) to be a malicious (chamas – one who wrongfully imagines and violently takes away; false, fierce, and cruel; errant and unjust oppressor who damages and causes destruction; ruinous and plundering) witness (‘ed).”

Shyth is more indicting than “join” suggests. Shyth means: “to consider and to set one’s mind to,” thus attitude indicts even if actions don’t follow. But actions count too, because shyth means “to constitute something, to take a stand, and to demand” whether in person or through others “to direct, appoint or even to regard.” In a political and religious context it means “to impose and to ordain.” And the chief characteristic of the wicked is that they are “ungodly, evil, hostile, and condemned.” They are the creators of religion, politics, and philosophy—those who “wrongfully imagine” to “oppress and plunder.”

Wanting to make certain that we would understand the nature and consequence of show’, Yahowah, instructed: “You shall not exist with or follow behind (lo hayah ‘ahar) the masses (rab – the many and mighty; the numerous and great; the populous and powerful; the multitudes, captains and chiefs) in friendship with evil (re’eh/ra’ah  – companionship with the Adversary).” (Shemowth / Names / Exodus 23:2)

Hayah describes all forms of association, then, now and forever. Hayah means: “to be or to become, to exist, to make happen or bring about, to appear, to institute or to establish, and to accompany.” In first person, it is the basis of Yahowah’s name. ‘asher ‘ehyah is “I Am who I Am, denoting presence, care and relationship.” Hayah is translated: “administer, allot, appear, become, live, belong, come, cause, commit, continue, correspond, decide, endure, exist, extend, have, marry, occur, own, qualify, reach, and serve,” so it is a very versatile and comprehensive term.

‘Ahar means to “follow behind or after.” It is indicative of “direction” and “pertains to relationship.” A re’eh is “an associate and advisor, a companion and friend.” Yahowah doesn’t want us associating with the populous or the powerful. That is the essence of being “ekklesia/called out and qodesh/set-apart.

Since vocalization is recent, and rabbinic, re’eh could well have been ra’ah. In that case we are called out and set-apart from: “the Adversary, evil, misery, distress, injury, affliction, calamity, disaster, evil, harm, misfortune, pain, sorrow, trouble, wickedness, and the Evil One.” And it could mean “don’t befriend or associate with the Adversary.” Choose a companion other then the Evil One or you will be guilty of show’.

To complete the thought, Yahowah adds: “Nor shall you testify (‘anah – answer, respond, speak, be a witness) in (‘al – over, against, by or for) a cause (ryb –controversy, strife, dispute, or quarrel) so as to turn aside (natah – pervert) or follow behind (‘achar) the many and mighty (rab – the numerous and great; the populous and powerful) in order to pervert (natah – turn away).” This too is a definition of show’ and its consequence. It perverts the many and the mighty.

The next use of show’ is in Dabarym / Deuteronomy 5:11. Since it repeats the Third Statement against false teaching verbatim, well move on to the twentieth verse, which is also a repeat, albeit with an interesting twist. When Yahowah etched the Sixth Instruction into stone, He said: “You shall not bear (lo ‘anah) false (seqer) witness (‘ed) against your intimate friend and companion (rea’ – fellow countryman, husband and lover).” (Shemowth / Names / Exodus 20:16)

It was obvious to me that the “false witness/seqer ‘ed” was show’ and that our “intimate friend and companion, our husband and lover, and the fellow countryman” of the Yahuwdym, was and is Yahowah/Yahowsha’. And mercifully, in Dabarym / Deuteronomy 5:11, Yahowah confirmed my conclusion. The passage reads: “You shall not bear (lo ‘anah) false (show’) witness (‘ed) against your intimate friend and companion (rea’ – fellow countryman, husband and lover).” The only word that changes is show’ for seqer, making them synonymous.

So what does seqer mean? First, we are told that it is derived from saqar, meaning: “to be wanton and to ogle.” Wanton means “to be deficient and wrong, hard to control, undisciplined and unruly.” A wanton person is “mischievous, mean, cruel, lewd, lustful, merciless, malicious, and inhumane.” Ogle means: “to eye amorously, to invite and challenge.” An ogle is “especially greedy and provocative, needing attention.” Saqar also means to “lie, to trick, to cheat, and to deal falsely.” Since saqar is the root of seqer, since seqer is synonymous with show’, and since show’ is unforgivable, this isn’t good news for wanton oglers—especially when you understand the religious, political, financial, journalistic, and academic implications of those words in our modern culture.

Not surprisingly, seqer, means “lie, false, deceitful, fraud, and wrong.” It is “injurious testimony, a false oath, a self-deceived prophet.” A seqer is “a deception, a disappointment, and a falsehood.” More to the point, it is “what deceives, disappoints, and betrays.” A seqer is “a false and misleading perception which causes a mistaken belief.” Seqer defines religion and politics, academia and the media in the age of revisionism, relativism, and political correctness where perceptions become reality. They are unforgivable because they cause show’—lifelessness, separation, and damnation. There is nothing vain or frivolous about any of this. Shaw’/Seqer are life and death, and not in a temporal context but in a spiritual and eternal one.

Show’ is used five times in Yowb / Job. Each occurrence designates that which is “false, deceptive, and desolate.” Shaw’ is used fourteen times in the Psalms. The first occurrence is in Psalm 12:2, one of many prophecies pertaining to the Ma’aseyah regarding salvation. But in its most common translated form it’s hard to see. The translations begin: “Help me, Lord…” The Scripture begins: “Yasha’ Yahowah…” Yasha’ means “save and Savior.” So you have two choices. You can begin the sentence with a noun or a verb. Both would be correct.

“Save (yasha’ – deliver and preserve, provide salvation and defend, rescue and liberate) me, Yahowah (efei), for (ky)…” Or “Savior Yahowah (efei), indeed (ky) the faithful (chacyd – loyal and devoted) cease to exist (gamar – come to an end). Indeed, the supportive (‘aman – those who confirm, uphold, nourish, establish, and make firm) vanish (pacac – disappear and are no longer seen) from among the sons of men (‘adam).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 12:1) Indeed, it was time for a Savior. And as Yahowah’s companion and intimate friend, Dowd knew just where to look. He even knew the Savior’s name.

“They speak (dabar – declare, converse in, promise, or communicate) falsehood (show’ – desolation, destruction, and lies) among (‘eth – with and against) men (‘ish) who are intimate friends and companions, fellow citizens (rea’).”

The same three Hebrew letters that form dabar, can also be rendered deber, meaning, “pestilence, cattle-plague, cattle-disease, and murrain.” Murrain is a cattle-born sickness. The word is based upon the Latin root for the English word “murder.” The golden bull calf was the principle symbol of the sun god, Ba’al, and thus Halal ben Shachar. With that in mind, Dowd could well have been saying: “Their words are Satan’s plague. They cause men to abandon God. They cause men to subdue, conquer, destroy, and kill.”

Only three things have motivated men to subdue, conquer, destroy, and kill: money, religion, and politics. So it should be no surprise that the next word from Dowd’s / David’s poetic pen is show’. The unforgivable sin has been defined once again.

“With slippery, smooth and flattering (chelqah – speech which seduces) language (saphah – lips and speech) and with the inner man’s soul, self-will, inclination, mind, personal knowledge, thinking, understanding, emotions, passions and heart (leb leb) they speak (dabar – declare, converse, promise, and communicate). (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 12:2)

When Dowd put leb and leb together he was allowing his audience to choose any two of the following options: “inner man’s soul, self-will, inclination, mind, personal knowledge, thinking, understanding, emotions, passions and heart.” They all seem to fit. And more importantly, they all lie at the root of show’.

Shaw’ is the bastard child born of the inclinations and passions, the personal knowledge and understanding of men. It is self-aggrandizing fraud designed to replace the instructions of God with the teachings of men. Shaw’ manifests itself most viciously in the gilded forums of ego—in religion, politics, finance, and the media. It is deceitful. It is destructive. It is deadly. It is desolate.

Understanding the seriousness of the matter, understanding the consequence, understanding the source, Dowd pleaded: “May Yahowah (efei) cut off (karat – eliminate and destroy) all slippery, smooth and flattering (chelqah – speech which seduces) lips (saphah – language and speech), the tongues (lashown – languages, communications, and babblings) that speak loudly many haughty and proud things (gadowl).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 12:3-4)

Gadowl is from gadal, meaning “to become great, to be magnified, to make one’s self powerful.” Gadowlah speaks of the “majesty, dignity, and greatness of man.” Its derivatives mean “to revile and reproach,” “marauding band of raiders,” and “bank.” How apropos. Dowd / David is removing all doubt as to who those who “promise and communicate” such things are, and why they do so. They are the pontificators, the men of words, the clerics and politicians, popes and presidents, the writers and schemers, the news anchors and bankers.

“Who have said, ‘With our tongue (lashown – speech, language, and communications) we will prevail (gabar – have strength, be strong and powerful, mighty and great, act proudly and confirm a covenant). Our lips (sapah – language and speech) are our own. Who is master (‘adon – carries the nuance of authority rather than ownership, thus master not lord) over us?’” The show’ see themselves as masters, the ultimate authority and power in the universe. And to inflict their convent, their dogma, their bias, on others, such men always gravitate to religion, politics, banking and the media.

According to the Dictionary of Biblical Languages, the first definition of gabar is: “to show oneself arrogant, to vaunt oneself, to be overbearing, to display attitudes and actions showing hubris and pride.” The second definition defines the purpose: “to confirm and establish a relationship with a person or a group.” This is secular humanism in all of its corrupt, self-aggrandizing glory. It is socialism, the rule of man over man. It is show’.

Now that man had spoken, it was time for Yahowah to speak. He said: “‘Because of (min) the devastation (sod – havoc, violence, destruction, and desolation) of the afflicted (‘any – poor, humble, needy, weak, and lowly), because of the groaning (‘anaqah – sighing and crying) of the needy (‘ebyown – oppressed and abused, those needing deliverance), in time, henceforth (‘atah – in a point in time, from ‘eth, meaning I answer, respond, testify now that in time),  I will arise and stand (quwm – come unto the scene and stand upright, accomplishing, establishing and confirming, fulfilling and ratifying, to cause to arise), says (‘amar – answers and promises) Yahowah (efei). I will save (yasha’ – deliver and preserve, rescue and defend, liberate and provide salvation) those who breathe (puwach – those who pour out the testimony and witess).’” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 12:5-6) That is the good news Yahowsha’ delivered.

We are the puach, “those who breathe, pouring forth the witness and testimony” of Yahowah. God is the Ruwach, the Spirit. Neither our breath nor the words that come out of our mouths can keep us alive but His words can. Salvation is going from puach, human breath, to Ruwach, the Breath of Life.
