Soundtrack

This page is dedicated to what i am looking for in the composition of the soundtrack for the motion capture series of Era of 303. Here, i am looking for something that is memorable but also epic and grand which includes the immersive element in which we feel like we are there in the action. It would be a soundtrack that in a way, amplifies how the emotional experience is felt when watching of the film. The soundtrack should be the best actor. In general, the Era of 303 score should have the rhythmic favour of Ham Zimmer, mixed with the classical emotion of Howard Shore and the sci-fi freshness of Thomas Bergson and Steve Jablonsky.

Here is the specific ideal type of music i am looking for. I should have an ancient feel to it with epic, grand and dramatic rhythms that should make the hearer feel and feel energised. For the Ben and the 15 Orders theme, I imagine an original epic memorable iconic score, like a mix of Alan Silvestri's Avenger Assemble, Howard Shore's Fellowship of the Ring and John Williams Duel of the Fates. For Jehu and the House of Judah, Thomas Bergson's Rada is by far the best fit with it's pacing, heavy vengeful and passionate rhythm. Speaking of Thomas Bergson... His work is general is the perfect soundtrack for the series. 

Thomas Bergson's Cry would be the perfect example of a theme song for Era of 303 for both seasons 1 to 6. His composition Illusions, in-particular, is an excellent powerful theme for Era of 303 Inheritance (Season 7) which is a theme for the Two Witnesses, Jehu's last stand, the New Jerusalem in the space, the Remnant, the Resurrection and Elijah's confrontation with Gadreel in the Vault of the Seed. Deep by Savfk would be the theme song for Era of 303 season 7.

A Lie Within A Lie

You are NOT my Saviour Antichrist!

Is Satan the greatest lair of all time? You bet.

"John 8:44 New King James Version (NKJV)

44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."

So if Satan is the father of all lies, you think he would be good at it? You bet ya.

Now, as master schemer, Satan would make sure his last plan is very complicated and very complex. He has a short time on this earth until he his chained up in Tartarus. It's a lie within a lie if you will. What if Satan just builds the third temple just to deceive and make a ruckus on the world news. Don't we see the 70 Nations, Noahide Laws and Trump support Israel (Mystery Babylon) all the time? What if Satan sets up a false Antichrist (Kushner or whatever man in power) that will do what the ‘traditional’ AC would do so everyone can expect that he is demonic and be aware of Satan's decoy. Then, Satan would infuse his DNA into a super AI, Nephilim hybrid (Osiris) that would would have super-abilities (the shape shifting seed of the seraphim) so he can change into form of Jesus that will destroy this false AC and destroy the third temple system and build his own false New Jerusalem on site, creating a fake Armageddon (Gog and Magog war?) and creating a false marriage supper (abomination of desolation)? So if this happens, then EVERYONE  - even the elect if it were possible, could buy this trickery. Would this be the true moment when “believers” accept the real Antichrist because he comes in the Name of JESUS? Would this be the true Abomination of Desolation of their spiritual temple? I am just writing my thoughts down here. Satan is very crafty and this too would mean that those who are not rooted in YHWH's ways will be thinking that Jesus Christ has saved them, when in fact, they have taken the Mark in the name of JESUS. It make prefect sense. It would be like Saul and David. Saul was supposed be King but he blew it (false Antichrist) and the real AC would be like David taking the throne like the lion from the tribe of Judah would do. So the real Antichrist would appear like he is Yeshua - judging all, destroying the wicked (Natsarim) and doing what Yeshua is meant to do. This is because Satan is an imitating, maniacal mastermind. 

" After it is consummated, Beliar the great ruler, the king of this world, will descend, who hath ruled it since it came into being; yea, he will descent from his firmament in the likeness of a man, a lawless king, the slayer of his mother: who himself (even) this king.

3. Will persecute the plant which the Twelve Apostles of the Beloved have planted. Of the Twelve one will be delivered into his hands.

4. This ruler in the form of that king will come and there will come and there will come with him all the powers of this world, and they will hearken unto him in all that he desires.

5. And at his word the sun will rise at night and he will make the moon to appear at the sixth hour.

6. And all that he hath desired he will do in the world: he will do and speak like the Beloved and he will say: "I am God and before me there has been none."

7. And all the people in the world will believe in him. 8. And they will sacrifice to him and they will serve him saying: "This is God and beside him there is no other."

9. And they greater number of those who shall have been associated together in order to receive the Beloved, he will turn aside after him.

10. And there will be the power of his miracles in every city and region.

11. And he will set up his image before him in every city.

12. And he shall bear sway three years and seven months and twenty-seven days." Ascension of Isaiah 4:2-12

"(The Antichrist) is a small [...] boy with thin legs, a spot of white hair on his forehead, [...], his eyebrows coming to his ears, a [...] on his hands. He will change before those who look after him. He will become a small child, he will become an old man, he will change in all his signs, but the sign of his forehead is unchangeable. In this you will know him that he is the son of lawlessness." Apocalypse of Elijah 4:15-18

A time of powerful deception is coming. It will be so powerful that Yeshua himself said the very elect would be deceived if that were possible. This is just so hard for many of us to imagine. But where does this deception begin? Does it happen all at once? Has it already begun? What if we are holding on to preconceived ideas that may not truly line up in harmony with the scriptures? Steve examines a popular verse that might have a completely different meaning from what you were brought up to believe. A verse, if interpreted wrong, could actually be setting you up to be deceived by the enemy. I reckon Steve Moutria is on to something here:

The Jesus we correlate with Christianity is a result of Constantine's mixture of Christianity with pagan Roman tradition which by the way, is FORBIDDEN in Scripture (Exodus 34:12-14, Leviticus 26:29-31, Numbers 33:51-53 . This is why so many worship this false Jesus that supposedly did away with the Jewish Torah and told everyone that Pork is food and that the Sabbath is Sunday. This is their god and it is idolatry to be blunt. It also confirms why people believe that the Christian Jesus is a pagan copy of the sun god. Because that is exactly what he is! It is part of Satan's preparation to deceive the whole world with his real Antichrist that will look like and act like this Messiah!

This is absolutely right. Jesus (the mark of the beat blasphemous name) made by the Catholic western church is the sun gods of old. The real Yeshua of the Bible is nothing like the Christian Jesus or the pagan sun gods. This is why people deny the son of man. We have been representing a false Hellenistic Jesus for too long. This is why Satan has to appear as the pagan Christ but not like the faithful and sinless Yeshua. This is because the whole world is already worshipping the false Christ on Sunday (the spiritual mark of the Beast).

"Exodus 31:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you."

"Deuteronomy 6:5-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes."

"Revelation 13:16-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

" Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:" Revelation 7:2-4 

"And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”

5 To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. 6 Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple." Ezekiel 9:2-6

Are we not to also not but and sell on the Sabbath? Indeed, this here i believe is talking about the spiritual Mark of the Beast. Sunday (sun god worship). I also believe the Cabal made the RFID chip just to make everyone believe it is the Mark so they be distracted so that when the real Mark comes, they will not even know that they had willingly accepted it. Again, it is a lie within a lie mentality. 

While this may all be truth, I also beileve that the Anti-Christ will be the resurrected anointed cherub who become Nimrod/Lucifer infused with the DNA of Satan (the dragon/Seraphim) that will have the ablity to shpaeshift. It is also intresting that in Hebrew, Nimrod ben Cush = 666 in the gematria.



Therefore, if we keep the testimony of Yehsua and walk out in faith to follow His commandments then we will receive the Mark of God (His Torah) and can be sealed protected form this deep lie within a lie. Lets pray that we can NOT be deceived and that we can remain in full resistance against the Beast and His Image and his Mark.

Shalom

Lucifer is Apollo - The Son of Satan

Sorry Percy Jackson fans, but God says that Apollo is the Antichrist. Let me explain. 

In Percy Jackson, Apollo is glorified as the 'good quirky god' of poetry and music, archery and the sun. But in truth, he is the plague god that brought about much terror. Is this a duel nature? Is he really such bright character or is he really the Antichrist?

It is commonly taught that Lucifer is considered to be Satan or Gadreel, but in Isaiah 14, it says Lucifer had to ascend into Heaven. It doesn’t make sense if Lucifer was originally created in Heaven right? Also, in Strong’s 7837 of Isaiah 14:12, it says he is a son of Shachar. 

"“How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!"

But Satan was created, not born... right? This is my point. The masculine noun Shachar is actually another name for Satan. It also leads me to believe that Satan is not a cherub but a more powerful race of angels called the Seraphim (translated as fiery serpent).  

Note In Job 41:18,

"His sneezings flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils,

Leviathan is described like a fire breathing dragon with eyes are described as “the eyelids of the morning (Same word: Shachar)”. In my opinion, this is evidence that Leviathan is biologically connected to Lucifer. Obviously, if Lucifer is Satan in Revelation 12, all you get is a list of all his names in the canon: the Great dragon, Serpent, the devil and Satan. This would be a good place to insert the word “light bearer” too don’t you think, but, it is not there. In fact, Leviathan is described as the only great dragon and serpent in Scripture so it would make sense to link him to be associated with Lucifer. 

With that mind then, it can be concluded that Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is in fact the son of Leviathan (the serpent and Satan). That begs the question: Who is the only son of Satan in the Bible? That is of course the Antichrist. This makes prefect sense because the AC will appear as Jesus and like this New Age God of light that might even deceive the very elect. 

Is it Interesting to notice too that in Revelation 9:11, the Beast is called Apollo in Greek. If you know your history, Apollo is the god of the sun,light poetry and harmony. If you want to go deeper, the only character in the Bible that attempted to reach into Heaven as stated by Isaiah 14, is Nimrod building the Tower of Babel. There some extraordinary research done by Rob Skiba, Tom Horn, Sean Griffin on His channel Kingdom in Context and Peter Goodgame, that connect Nimrod in Mythology to Apollo of the Greek world. 

The link connecting the Antichrist with Lucifer/Nimrod is undeniable in my opinion. Nimrod- the man that changed his DNA to become a Nephilim (seraphim DNA) as the son of the morning (Shachar/Gadreel/Germain) would be Lucifer himself. Therefore, as Apollo/Lucifer, these occultists and new agers are preparing the way for the False light of the beast to come back to be their Messiah. I hope this has been edifying in some way. Shalom and thanks.

I would like to credit David Carrico for propagating this theory about Lucifer not being Satan.

Further proof of Nimrod (Antichrist) and Apollo begin the same

Natsarim Logo Design for Era of 303

Here is my original design for the main group of protagonists of the saga - the Natsarim. Before we get into the nitty gritty of my design choices, i want to explain to anyone new here of who the Natarim are and what do they mean for the series. 

The Natsarim or most commonly translated Nazarenes, are a historical minority sect of people that find harmony between the conflicted ideas of grace (Christianity) and obedience (Judaism). These people get their name from Nazaraios is the standard Greek spelling, meaning "from Nazareth." In a sense, these people walk and talk and live like the Messiah named Jesus or Yeshua. 

The original Hebrew for "Nazarene" is based on the root "natsar", and means to watch or guardian. From

Wilmington For Christ 

» Hebrew Word "Natsarith" as it is sometimes transliterated, was a community with a view. It was built on a hilltop. Natsarith's root word, Natsar, points to the fact that the town was situated on high ground, and provided a panoramic view of the surroundings. It was an absolutely lovely place to grow up.

The "brow of the hill" which Yahushua's town-folk tried to throw Him over gave the name to the town itself. Natsareth (natsar, the root) hence means "watchtower", and Natsare-nes are by extension "watchmen", but this also fulfills the prophecies of Yesh Yahu 11:1, and Zec. 6:12. In these places, the change in vowels forms the root "netser", meaning "branch"; it's a kind of synonym, like any word with two meanings, but the same spelling. "He shall be called a Natsarene (Mt. 2:23) refers to the verses above, but it is not a direct quote as we are led to believe. This synonym (word spelled the same) forms a play-on-words: "netser", meaning "branch", and "natsar", meaning "to watch". So, we can be called branches, and watchmen for this reason. Remember Ya-hushua said, "I am the vine, you are the branches" (Yahuchanon 15:5).

The original followers of Yahushua were known as "Natsarim", because you'll see "sect of the Nazarenes"written in your translations at Acts 24:5.
From the same chapter 31 of Yerme Yahu (Jeremiah) where the promised New Covenant is located, there are the words,

"There will be a day when WATCHMEN will cry out on the hills of Ephraim" (31:6) --
referring to one of the 10 lost tribes who will rise up and become the new nation of God."

For more amazing and life changing information,see who the Lost tribes of Israel are and how they are connected to the Natrsim's role in the End Times (the Era of 303) against the world Beast system.

In essence, these people become enmpowered and given ablities that supasses them for 'superheroes.' Indeed, the name means 'guardian' but these are guardians of God - God's army against the rising 303 agenda - the New World Order. They are the world's only hope because they are the only ones that are awake to the lies of the era. This is why they are target and must be ellianted later in the series. They are the saints marching in to fight Apollo and his world imperial empire.

"Yahweh thunders his voice before his army;
    for his forces are very great;
    for he is strong who obeys his command;
    for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome,
    and who can endure it?" Joel 2:11

"32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." Daniel 11:32

The Golden Spool Rules

Now here are my design choices. I wanted it to be simple and original and cool also. Since the series is supposed to look and feel secular, i put hidden sumbial messages in it so my message of truth is unconsciously conveyed. This is what Satan does all the time in the media, and i wish to subvert that. First, i chose light blue to wash the picture to represent God presence as He is the background force behind the Natsarim's power. Blue is colour of His covenant. This is the same colour of the sapphire firment (sky) and the four tassels the Natsarim wear to remember there God's commands and not commit sexual immorality. 
"Numbers 15:37-41 World English Bible (WEB)
37 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue. 39 It shall be to you for a fringe,that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute; 40 so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. 41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.”

Blue in ancient Rome is the symbol of authority as well as the colour of the spirit of God. The loyalty to God is represented by this colour here.

Also, i incorporated rain drops to represent the living waters of the word of God that is Yeshua.

Instead of using a simple symbol for Israel, it wanted to make my own so it is not immediately perceived to be 'religious'. Technically, the logo are two flipped menorahs (trees of life) with the branches facing one another. What this represents is the regathering of God's people across the world - the Greater Exodus. Here, this draws from the concept revealed to us in Ezekiel 37 of the joining two sticks (aka branches in which the word netser means.)
"Ezekiel 37 World English Bible (WEB)
37 Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in Yahweh’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry. 3 He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.”

4 Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word. 5 The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live. 6 I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”’”

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’”

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’”

15 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, 16 “You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.’ Then take another stick, and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions.’ 17 Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.

18 “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’ 19 tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand. 20 The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.”’ 21 Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. 23 They won’t defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. So they will be my people, and I will be their God.

24 “‘“My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25 They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more. 27 My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 The nations will know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.”’”

In addition, i chose the tree to reinforce the concept in Scripture that people are trees (Mark 8:24) which leds to the idea of the two witnesses by the leading elct Natsarim that are called the two trees.

TORAH

The last Torah portion guys! We made it! Its has been such a great year studying the Torah for the first time in my life and i cannot wait for next year cycle to go deeper and deeper into His word of life! We need to celebrate that we are so blessed to have our eyes and ears open to the Torah every week. Lets remind ourselves of how blessed we are and celebrate the Torah - our gift from the Father:
"Deuteronomy 4:7-8 World English Bible (WEB)
7 For what great nation (Israel - Believers) is there that has a god so near to them as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him? 8 What great nation is there that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law which I set before you today?"

"Deuteronomy 33:1 World English Bible (WEB)
33 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death."
This is the only time in the Torah that Moses is called a man of God. When Judgement comes in the future, as it did to Sodom and Gomorrah, oh how there will be so many people who will wish they had lived as men and women of Elohim. We are not like the rest of the world because we are totally different. We are aliens and are incompatible.
"1 Peter 2:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"

Tony Robinson - The main theme is YHWH's gift of the Torah borne out His love for the people.We can strengthen the notion that the Torah was given as a gift by making another thematic connection concerning the phrase, “all His saints are in Your hand.” Isaiah 49:16 states the following: “Behold, I have engraved you (Am Yisrael—The People of Israel) on the palms of my hands.” In context, these verses are speaking of Adonai’s profound love for Am Yisrael; that He would never forget them! This thematic connection strengthens the notion that Devarim 33:1-4 recounts the giving of the Torah within the context of Adonai’s great love for the people! The Torah is not a curse. Nor was it given as a curse upon Am Yisrael. It was given as a gift of love, from a loving Creator to the creation He loves.

"Deuteronomy 33:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them." So was it just YHWH that came to Moses? Just like we read in Enoch 1, YHWH has His hosts with Him as well. 

"Deuteronomy 33:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words." Notice the Messianic numbers - 333. This is why i titled my series - Era of 303. 

Moses describes Torah as an 'inheritance' (morashah) passed down to the 'congregation of Jacob'. To understand this inheritance, we will first take a look at the more common Hebrew word for inheritance - (nachalah). Nachalah is related to (nachal), a word for a river or a stream. It signifies something passed down automatically across the generations, as a river's water flows downstream.

The sages make a beautiful observation. They point out that by a simple change in pronunciation - turning a shin (sh) into a sin (s), inheritance becomes betrothal.
"Deuteronomy 33:4 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
4 Torah Moses commanded us—
a betrothal for the community of Jacob."
"Hosea 2:19-20 World English Bible (WEB)
19 I will betroth you to me forever.
    Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness;
    and you shall know Yahweh."
"Isaiah 54:5 World English Bible (WEB)
5 For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name.
    The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.
    He will be called the God of the whole earth."     
The physical inheritance  of the Torah has a final fulfilment for the betrothed:
"Revelation 21:1-3 World English Bible (WEB)
21 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God."
The land and the Torah belongs to YHWH. No generation can cause it to cease , or cut off its character as a morashah - an eternal heritage - for all of YHWH's people. TORAH is to be passed down from generation to generation. And just as foreigners were to be permitted to live in the land of Israel, dwelling amidst YHWH's people; so foreigners of the few nations YHWH spares after the Judgement (2 Baruch 72:2) are to be permitted to share the morashah, to share Torah and the word of life (Isaiah 2:3). Torah is a gift. It is our betrothal covenant. It is the truth.

The name Jeshurun (pronounced Yeshurun in Hebrew) derives from the Hebrew root ישר, like the word yashar (recall the Book of Jasher), meaning “straight” or “upright.” Yeshurun as a name for Israel would then signify “Upright Nation.”Rashi explains that YHWH is Israel's king in the most complete sense only when the people are united/together (yachad). Just as a unified (yachad) Israel accepted the Torah on Mount Sinai, so once again YHWH will reign only over a nation that maintains a sense of harmony in belief and action. YHWH is one (echad) and unity among His chosen is exactly how He demands that we serve Him.
Although the word yachid (the root word to yachad) translates to an only child, we know that Abraham had another son named Ishmael. Yachid can also be used to describe a child who is unique, unparalleled or incomparable. Of course this anticipates the Messiah in His unique relationship to the Father who claims Him as my beloved son. We live through this one son to be one with Him.
"Exodus 24:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do."

FROM ARDELLE - Each tribe is blessed according to its personality and its
responsibilities. The translations of these blessings vary substantially. Even Hebrew language scholars are challenged as there are Hebrew words and phrases in these blessings that appear nowhere else in the Bible. It is one of the rare places in the Hebrew Scriptures where there aresome differences between the oldest Hebrew manuscripts.
Jeffrey Tigay puts it like this: it is full of rare words, syntactic difficulties, grammatical inconsistencies and opaque allusions. With that said, let’s take a look at a few of the tribal blessings. Reuben receives the first blessing: 
Devarim 33:6 "Let Reuben live, and not die, nor let his men be few." Seems pretty short and sweet, but what does it mean? Moses blesses the tribe of Reuben with “life”. There’s a bit of grace in this blessing as it was Reuben who took his father Jacob’s concubine and lay with her. Here is what Torah had to say about that: 
Vayikra/Leviticus 20:11 'The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. Now perhaps the reason why he was pardoned for this offense was that Torah had not yet been given from Mt. Sinai. There also may be other reasons for blessing Reuben with “life”. Remember that Reuben had already been given territory on the east side of the Jordan. Was Moses concerned that the Reubenites would therefore not survive as an official tribe outside of the Promised Land? Or, Jewish sages offer a military explanation. In return for the land on the east of the Jordan, the Reubenite men had promised to take the front line in the battles to conquer the Promised Land. Moses prays a blessing of “life” over them in light of this dangerous mission. Judah was next to be blessed: 
Devarim 33:7 And this he said of Judah: "Hear, hwhy, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people; Let his hands be sufficient for him, and may You be a help against his enemies." Judah, of course, is the main tribe of the Jews. It seems that Moses is asking for help in war-time for Judah. “Hear”…that is, shema, the voice of Judah. Is this Judah sending up prayers? Daily, Jews pray for the regathering of ALL of Israel. The Kibbutz Galuyot (gathering of exiles) is the tenth blessing of the daily Amidah prayers wherein they make the appeal to the Almighty to return Israel from the affliction of the exile: “Sound the great shofar for our freedom and raise a banner to gather our exiles and unite us together from the four corners of the earth. Blessed are You, Adonai, who regathers the scattered of His people Israel.” The Levites, who are the set-apart priests and teachers, are given a rather long blessing focused on their ability to provide spiritual leadership. The tribe of Levi would be scattered among the various tribes in order to serve as teachers throughout the country:
Devarim 33:8 And of Levi he said: "Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one, Whom You tested at Massah, And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah, 9 Who says of his father and mother, 'I have not seen them'; Nor did he acknowledge his brothers, Or know his own children; For they have observed Your word And kept Your covenant. 10 They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, And Israel Your Torah. They shall put incense before You, and a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar. 11 Bless his substance, hwhy, And accept the work of his hands; Strike the loins of those who rise against him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again." Verse 9 is referring to the golden calf incident in Shemot/Exodus 32. Without regard for family ties, the Levites slew those who worshipped the golden calf: 
Shemot/Exodus 32:26 then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on hwhy's side -- come to me." And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 27 And he said to them, "Thus says hwhy Elohim of Israel: 'Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.' " 28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. 29 Then Moses said, "Consecrate yourselves today to hwhy, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother."
Yeshua seems to be addressing this kind of loyalty in the book of Luke: 
Luke 14:25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. “Hate” is an intense word and probably makes you squirm a bit, but its meaning is different than our usual interpretation. It is used in this verse in a comparative sense, where your loyalty to Yeshua should make everything else pale in comparison. If your parents, wife, or children insist that you have nothing to do with your Master, then you must disregard their wishes (not them). It is not an excuse for walking away from family responsibilities, but rather remaining faithful to the One who has called you. Next is the blessing over Benjamin: 
Devarim 33:12 Of Benjamin he said: "The beloved of hwhy shall dwell in safety by Him, Who shelters him all the day long; And he shall dwell between His shoulders." Benjamin was the only one of the 12 who was actually born in the land of Israel. The Temple in Jerusalem would later be located in Benjamin’s territory. 

We will stop here with the tribes, except to mention the absence of the tribe of Simeon. We have discussed Simeon’s troubles before. Remember Jacob’s negative deathbed blessing over his sons Simeon and Levi because of the slaughter of the men of Shechem: 
Bereshith/Genesis 49:5 "Simeon and Levi are brothers; Instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place. 6 Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. Simeon and Levi are both the recipients of what reads as more of a curse than a blessing, but Levi, as mentioned previously, redeemed himself after the golden calf incident. Both tribes were “scattered” in Israel as verse 6 indicates. Levi did not receive any tribal territory, but they were rewarded for their faithfulness in standing by Moses after the golden calf: 
Devarim 18:1 "The priests, the Levites -- all the tribe of Levi -- shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of hwhy made by fire, and His portion. 2 "Therefore they shall have no inheritance among their brethren hwhy is their inheritance, as He said to them. But the tribe of Simeon, however, continued to make mistakes. They suffered as a result of one of their leaders who took a Midianite woman into the tabernacle to have sex with her (Bemidbar/Numbers 25:6-14). A resultant plague killed many from their tribe as indicated by a census in Bemidbar 26. So….as we follow Simeon through the Scriptures, they will end up with a circle of territory completely surrounded by Judah. Eventually they were absorbed by Judah and pretty much vanished as an identifiable tribe. Now I would like to quote several paragraphs from Thomas Bradford concerning the tribe of Simeon (emphasis mine): “Here is what I find interesting: we have Moses’ last words in Deuteronomy 33 as spoken to the 12 tribes, but one of the tribes (Simeon) had been cursed and so is left out, leaving 11 tribes. It has always been noticed that just as there were 12 original tribes of Israel, there were the 12 original disciples of Jesus. One of these disciples was an infamous man named Judas Iscariot. There is some argument over what “Iscariot” means; some say it is referring to a geographical region called K’riot. Others say it is a play on the word “Sicarri”. Recall that Judas was a fundamentalist militant who was trying to foment another Jewish rebellion against its oppressor, Rome. Judas’ actions show just how radical he was in turning in Yeshua when he decided that Yeshua was not going to be the Savior of Israel Judas had hoped for, because Jesus simply was not a military leader with insurrection on His mind. Judas was a Zealot; Zealot was the name of a Jewish political party. They might be compared with Zionists today; people who feel that only Jews should occupy and/or govern the Holy Lands. One faction of the Zealot party was called the Sicarri; these men were out and out assassins who tried to enforce their brand of Judaism and patriotism on everyone else by intimidation…. Where did Judas come from, and who was his family? Most of the other disciples were Galileans, but not much is known about Judas; yet we do find a very tantalizing piece of information in John 13:26. Yeshua answered, “It’s the one to whom I give this piece ofmatzah after I dip it in the dish.” So he dipped the piece of matzah and gave it to Y’hudah Ben-Shim’on (Judas son of Simeon) from K’riot. What makes this tantalizing is that we find that Judas is the son of Simon, or as here in the CJB, Shim’on. Here’s the thing: Simon, Shim’on, and Simeon (as in the tribe of Simeon) are all the same Hebrew name, just transliterated into variant English spellings. It was the norm in the Bible era to identify a person by his tribe, so a Hebrew with the family name of Shim’on was usually attached by heritage to the tribe of Shim’on, Simeon. You wouldn’t, for example, name a person Levi if they were of the tribe of Ephraim, or Manasseh if they were from Dan. So almost certainly Judas was from the tribe of Simeon, long ago absorbed into the Judah tribe, but still remembering its family heritage by use of the family name Simeon. Ok, with that background, watch this: Moses was giving his final words to the 12 tribes only hours before his death. And in his final words (that amounts to a series of individual prophetic blessings) Moses mysteriously leaves out Simeon who had been given a cursed prophetic future by Jacob. So the blessing of Moses was only upon 11 of the 12 tribes. We fast-forward 13 centuries to the time of Yeshua. The night before He is to die, Jesus is giving His final words to His disciples, by means of offering blessings at the Passover table. All 12 disciples are there, but one, Judas, disappears and fetches the Temple Guard who arrests Jesus and turns him over to the Romans to be tried and killed. Judas who is from the tribe of Simeon (as his family name implies) is cursed by his act then commits suicide, and now there are 11 disciples. Knowing the power of patterns, it is difficult for me not to see the prophetic pattern established in the blessing of Moses over the 12 tribes carried forward into the blessings of Jesus over the 12 disciples. The circumstances are eerily familiar, the fact that Moses and Jesus were both blessing 12 is the same, that it was immediately before their deaths that is the same, that one of the 12 was removed is the same, and that the one who was removed is associated with the Simeon tribe, the cursed tribe is the same.” (end of quote) 
By mystery leaving our Simeon, it foreshadows he will be given a cursed future in which would involve Zionism. It could be that Simeon might be in league with Edom as well as the Super soldiers from Dan. However, in Revelation 7, Simeon is listed in the 144000 which means that they are redeemed. Simeon - one who hears. If we refuse to listen to YHWH, if we insist on doing what is right in our own eyes, then we miss out on the blessing all together. Who are you hearing? 
Now to move on, Jewish commentator Mordekhai Sabato points out two words in Devarim
33:27-28 which detail the expulsion of the enemy and Israel’s return to reside in the land:
Devarim 33:27 The Elohim of old is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will cast out (vr,g"ôy>w :) the enemy from before you, And will say, 'Destroy!' 28 Then Israel shall dwell (!Kov.YIw:) in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine;
His heavens shall also drop dew.
• vr,g"ôy>w: - He will cast out out
• !Kov.YIw: - He shall dwell 
The combination of these verbs appears in only one other location in the Torah: Bereshith/Genesis 3:24 So He drove out (vr,g"ôy>w : )the man; and He caused to dwell (!Kov.YIw:) cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. The location of these two verbs, in these two circumstances, is not coincidental. The Torah is making an association between the banishment of Adam from the Garden (beginning of the Torah) and Israel returning to the land to settle (end of the Torah). Thus we see the Almighty’s plan for restoring mankind after his exile. The inheritance of the land closes the circle that began when man was expelled from the Garden of Eden. Obviously, Israel is not yet dwelling in the land in perfect safety, in a Garden of Eden-like existence.
"Isaiah 51:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody."
But we see the patterns described in Devarim 33:27-28 and Bereshith 3:24 reoccurring in Revelation. We see our Deliverer using that sword that protected the garden, to cast out the enemy: 
Revelation 19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war… 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of Elohim. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations… 
Jeremiah gives us a picture of what it will be like when the tribes return to the land. Compare some of the words with Devarim 33:28: 
Jeremiah 31:11 For hwhy has redeemed Jacob, And ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. 12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, Streaming to the goodness of hwhy -- For wheat and new wine and oil, For the young of the flock and the herd; Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, And they shall sorrow no more at all. 13 "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, And the young men and the old, together; For I will turn their mourning to joy, Will comfort them, And make them rejoice rather than sorrow. 14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says hwhy."

Deuteronomy 33:14 King James Version (KJV)

14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon," Wait! I through the moon is a reflector! Not according to God. The Moon produces a cold light. Could also these precious things brought forth form the moon be in reference to the fruits of the calendar.

The Ephraim Awaking is confirmed in how Ephraim is said to have 10,000's Just like David had slain 10000s and Saul and Manasseh had 1000. So the total number is 2,730 years for their punishment. To figure out where this timing takes us, we first must subtract 721 years because the punishment started in 721 BC. There is no year "0", so we take the remaining years to see when the Father started bringing the prophecy of Hosea 6:1 and 2 into
fullness. This takes us to the year 2009. We find it interesting that it was between the years of 2008 and 2010 that the truth of Torah, YHWH’s law, started gaining understanding all over the world at an exponential rate. 

HERALDRY:THE CLUES TO HISTORY – EPHRAIM THE UNICORN

By the late Valerie Martlew

We have considered  the origins  of Heraldry  and Bri tish and European armorial bearings in particular, with emphasis on the heraldic and symbolic Lion of the tribe of Judah. The second supporter on the royal coat of arms  is the Unicorn, represented nowadays as a kind of horse with one twisted  horn.  This beast seems  as mythical  as the dragons and  gryphons of legend ,  but  we  shall  examine its origins  and  see whether our trail will lead once more to ancient Israel.

What  does the  Bible  tell  us?   Turn  to  Jacob’s blessings as recorded in Deuteronomy 33: v. 17:

“His  glory  is like  the   firstling  of his  bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the  earth: and  they  are the  ten  thousands  of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh “.

This is Jacob’s prophetic blessing  of the sons  of Joseph, in which  he likens  the tribe to an Ox and  a Unicorn.

This seems a far cry from a horse-like  creature with a twisted  horn,  but remember that one  of the sins  of the  Israelites in the  Wilderness was  to set themselves up a Golden Calf to worship, thus proving that they had a special reverence for an Ox or Bull. The twisted  horn  of the  Unicorn  could  be  the  two horns of the Bull, which  can  be imagined in profile, “pushing the  people together to  the  ends of the earth”. This is precisely  what the Tribes of Israel did after  their escape from  their captivities, for in their outward spread from the Caucasus, they pushed  the indigenous tribes  out  of the  territories which  they entered.  Another  symbol  of Joseph was a horn,  so we can see how the symbols have combined to give the fabled Unicorn.

The Ox or  Bull was  the  emblem of the  Saxons during their long journey across Europe.   Today it is used  in districts  of Denmark  and  in Iceland,  which was  colonised from  Denmark.    It is an  emblem in Swedish heraldry, and in Scottish and English armorial bearings, most notably in the Royal Arms.  The horn had a special  significance for the Nordic invaders of these islands, and  York Minster  treasures a  very ancient horn.  It is large and  has a carving of a Vine and  what  appears to be a Lion and  a Unicorn. Authorities  seem to think that this horn is of Eastern origin.   Objections have  been  raised  that  the  Lion appears to have wings like an Assyrian lion, but this is even more significant  in view of the fact that the Northern House was taken  captive  by the Assyrians, and  may logically have  been expected to have adopted some  of the Assyrian conventions. After all, they  would have been surrounded by such representations during  their stay in Assyria.   The Vikings, who colonised York, used horns for drinking wine  and  the symbolism was  a feature of their mythology.  The Vine was another lsraelitish  symbol, referred  to by Jesus  in His Parables.

A significant fact which adds another piece to the puzzle,  is that  “John  Bull” is the  nickname for the English.

From a study of the history of Israel as told in the Old Testament we discover that the symbols had become typical of the Northern and Southern  houses of Israel after Solomon’s death, when  they had split into  two  Kingdoms.   The emblem of the Southern House of Judah  was a Lion and that of the Northern House, which went into Assyrian captivity before the Southern House,  was that of the Unicorn.

In Numbers  ch. 23: 22-24 and  Numbers ch. 24: vv. 8, 9, the heathen prophet, Balaam,  refers to the two Kingdoms separately under  their emblems of a Lion and a Unicorn. The Northern  House of Ephraim  had erred  before  in their  history in setting  up a Golden Calf for worship, and after Solomon’s death they soon rejected the Royal House of David and became heathen; but the Southern House  remained loyal to the House of David, and  therefore retained the Lion as their symbol.

Descendants of the Northern and Southern Houses of Israel found their way to these British Isles after many years of wandering and conquest, and eventually the two Kingdoms were  re-united in the person of James VI of Scotland who became James I of England, the two Kingdoms thus becoming Great Britain.

Another interesting point  is that  the  ancient Hebrew  for the emblematic Ox was  eng!,  which  is very similar to Angle. In Hosea 8:5 we read:

“Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast  thee  off”

and in v. 6

“..but the  calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces”.

Strong’s  Concordance has “calf”  as egel in each case  and  this word  has the gl root.  In Hebrew  there are no written  vowels,  and the spoken vowels often have to be inferred. The g may be “soft” or “hard”, giving a ng sound, such  as we have in “singing” for the soft consonant. Samaria was the area from which the Northern House was taken captive  to Assyria. Herodotus the historian  mentions a tribe in Bactria called the Aegli.  Bactria was an ancient name  for the area in Central Asia between the Amu Darya river and the Hindu Kush mountains. The Northern  House of Israel disappeared from  view  en route to the Caucasus, which  is between the Black Sea and  the Caspian Sea.   Furthermore, in ancient times  the Crimea was known as Taurica and Tauric Scythia. This would mean  the land of the Bull, or Bull Scythia.  The Scythians  (a name  which  is very similar  to “Scots”) settled  in the Black Sea area  until they began  their westward journey.   Another  significant  point  is the bull worship  of the ancient Cretans. Some  believe that they were  Israelites  who  broke  away  from the main body round about  the time of the Exodus.

The Angles were a tribe which gave their name  to England.  They settled  here from areas near present day Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark, landing mostly in Kent and East Anglia.

We have examined some  more  clues  to our very ancient  roots, but there are more of the tribes of Israel to study and to see where their emblems lead us. In isolation,  the tracing of each  symbol may seem to be mere coincidence, but the sum  of the whole is extremely significant  to those who have eyes to see.

The tribe of Dan has been a topic i have been looking into in depth for a while and it has fantasised me. "Deuteronomy 33:22 King James Version (KJV)22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan." Bashan is where Dan settles and is the location of MT Hermon - ground zero for Fallen Angel activity. I highly urge you to read this whole article about Dan. It was gold for my studies.

ON TO BAHSAN!             Going back to the prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy 33, the remainder of his short prediction regarding the tribe of Dan states: “He shall leap from BASHAN” (Deut. 33:22).             Bashan is a fairly well-known word to most Bible students.  It is a place name that is somewhat indirectly referred to in the 14th chapter of Genesis.  This is where the famous account of Abram’s sensational rescue of Lot is recorded, but the key point with regard to our study is found in the earlier portion of the passage.  As you will recall, there was war waged between the armies of the Siddim Vale, led by Bera king of Sodom, and a huge invading force of Babylonians under the leadership of Amraphel king of Shinar, a character that appears to have been the Biblical personage known as Nimrod, the son of Cush and grandson of Noah.  The eastern hordes proved too strong for the southern Canaanites, and they were subjugated for some 12 years.  In the 13th year they rebelled, and in the 14th year, a second, even more massive invasion from the east occurred, precipitating a great slaughter.  We read in Genesis 14:5-7: “And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in ASHTEROTH KARNAIM, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim, and the Horites in their Mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.  And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelled in Hazezon-tamar.”             While these ancient geographical names may have little relevance for most people today, they do provide us with some pertinent information concerning the area known as Bashan.  The reference to Ashteroth Kernaim in verse 5 pinpoints the residence of the feared Rephaim class of giants.  Even though they were defeated by the massive eastern forces (reportedly almost 1,000,000 strong) in this particular battle, they were by no means destroyed, and indeed they continued to populate this same locale for hundreds of years to come, for we read in the book of Joshua with respect to the Israelite victories: “Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote...Sihon, king of the Amorites...and the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelled at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, and reigned in Mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan” (Josh. 12:1-2, 4-5).             Bashan comprised the territory from Gilead in the south to Mount Hermon in the north, with the Jordan River as its western boundary and Salchah on its eastern extremity.  This was not a part of the inheritance originally granted to the tribe of Dan.  In order for the prophecy of Moses to be fulfilled, it was necessary that the Danites at some point extend their influence north into Bashan, and that event is recorded for us in a most intriguing passage in Judges 17-18.             As the story begins, the tribe of Dan is not mentioned, rather it deals with a certain unknown man of Mount Ephraim named Micah.  He has stolen money from his mother, and when he returns it, she takes a portion of the silver and has two idols made for her son.  One need not read very far into chapter 17 before recognizing clearly that there is something gravely wrong about this situation.  Already, we see deception, theft, and idolatry in place.  The mother, in fact, had already dedicated the silver to Yahweh on her son’s behalf, with which to make graven images (v. 3), so both mother and son are in gross violation of the Torah.             Micah, however, becomes much more deeply entrenched in idolatry, for we read in verse 5: “And the man Micah had a HOUSE OF GODS, and made an EPHOD, and a TERAPHIM, and consecrated one of his sons, who became HIS PRIEST.  In those days, there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judg. 17:5-6).             Not only do we encounter the issue of idolatry in this chapter, we also should take note that it is connected in this case with Mount Ephraim and the area in the northern part of the land of Canaan.  Of course, this early period was long before the division of the United Monarchy, but Mount Ephraim would eventually be the ruling center of the northern kingdom of Samaria, and even at such an ancient date it is already associated with the sin of idolatry, something for which it would become notorious, leading ultimately to its destruction.             Next, we are told in verse 7 of a certain young man, a Levite from Bethlehem-Judah, who is on a journey searching apparently for a place where he can settle down and serve in his Levitical capacity.  Immediately we sense something is rotten, because it was not the customary procedure in Israel for Levites to just wander around the countryside looking for work.  In addition, Bethlehem-Judah was not one of the designated Levitical cities according to the Torah commands.  There were 48 of them throughout the land, giving the entire population relatively easy access to their services.  It is even questionable as to whether or not this man, whose name was Jonathan, was a legitimate Levite at all, since his lineage, given in Judges 18:30, appears to come through the tribe of Manasseh, rather than Levi: “And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan.”             Since Manasseh was not of the priestly line, this could be a mistranslation, as some have suggested, and perhaps was originally intended to state that Jonathan was descended from Moses, a Levite, since only a slight addition to the Hebrew is required to alter the name to Manasseh.              This wandering Levite, so obviously out of God’s will, happens to come upon Micah’s house in Mount Ephraim.  When Micah discovers who he really is, or at least claims to be, he is jubilant, and immediately offers the man money, clothing, and food as payment for him becoming his own personal priest.  In fact, the exact expression uttered by Micah to the young man is: “Dwell with me, and be unto me a FATHER and a PRIEST...So the Levite went in” (Judg. 17:10).             We must realize that Micah is not asking this man to be as a physical parent unto him, for the next verse plainly tells us: “And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him (Micah) as one of his SONS” (v. 11).

Clearly, therefore, Micah is much older than Jonathan.  Indeed, it would appear that the exact opposite situation developed, whereby the young man actually became as one of Micah’s own sons.  That being the case, what does he mean by requesting that the Levite become a father to him?  I would suggest that this is to be understood in a religious sense of the term.  We all are quite familiar with the title father as it is applied by ecclesiastical institutions.  That typically Roman Catholic word, however, long pre-dates the founding of that church organization.  It was only borrowed from much earlier pagan sources, one of which we can read about in the 17th chapter of Judges!              And so this corrupt would-be Levite lands a paying job as Micah’s personal hired priest, and you just have to know by Micah’s reaction what his real motives actually are in the entire matter, when you read the following verse: “Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest” (Judg. 17:13).             Now enter the tribe of Dan into this unusual, almost bizarre story.  The Danites needed land, because their inheritance bordered one of Israel’s perpetual enemies, the Philistines, and they were unable to fully conquer the territory and route the Canaanites.  So five spies are dispatched to search for a place where the residue of the people can settle, and in their journeying the Danite contingent happens by Micah’s house in Mount Ephraim.  Recognizing the young Levite’s voice, the men stop and inquire as to why he is there.  When Jonathan reveals unto them what has transpired, they are glad, because, you see, these men of Dan had the same corrupt motives as did the Levite.  They wanted to get something from God without obeying Him.  Note their response to him: “And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray you, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous” (Judg. 18:5).             They too were far more interested in getting what was their’s, and perhaps even what wasn’t their’s, than they were in worshiping and serving the true God as He had commanded them to do.  They were willing to sell themselves into idolatry in order to secure the blessings of the gods.  And so, they appropriated the services of the young Levite, enticing him to leave Micah, and become their priest, indeed the priest for all the land-dwelling Danites, an offer the money-grubbing cleric simply couldn’t refuse!             When Micah protested their action, the Danites explained the facts of life to the hapless Ephraimite, who suddenly decided it was a whole lot better to be without a personal religious shrine, complete with his own priest, and remain alive, than it was to push the issue any farther and end up dead!  Jonathan the Levite quickly accepted the offer and blessed the Danite warriors, who grabbed up the graven image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, and with the priest in tow,  absconded with them  northward in search of a people whom they could easily victimize, and whose land they could confiscate for themselves.             Their objective was not long in being achieved, for they happened upon the peaceful little village of Laish.  It was an unarmed, undefended city, and ripe for the taking.  The Danite soldiers ambushed the helpless citizens of Laish, slew them with the sword, and proceeded to burn the town to the ground, demonstrating two of the inherent traits of Dan and his descendants–trickery and violence.             A third negative characteristic of this tribe also became immediately evident, indeed if it wasn’t already well accounted for among the Danites, for we read in Judges 18:29-31 the following insightful information regarding this incident: “And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.  And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no business with any man...And they built a city, and dwelled therein.  And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father (a proclivity of this particular tribe)...And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh (pos. Moses), he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan UNTIL THE DAY OF THE CAPTIVITY OF THE LAND.  And they set them up Micah’s graven image, which he made, ALL THE TIME THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD WAS IN SHILOH.”             The city of Laish, destroyed by the invading Danites, was located in the extreme upper Jordan Valley, north of the Sea of Galilee.  The residue of the tribe of Dan settled along the various tributaries that fed into the Jordan River at the base of Mt. Hermon.  This area marked the northernmost point in all of Israel, and the expression “from Dan to Beersheba” (Judg. 20:1; I Sam. 3:20; II Sam. 3:10, 24:2; I Kgs. 4:24, et. al.) became a common saying among the Israelites, descriptive language indicating the boundaries of the land from north to south.             The problems associated with Dan are quite evident just in this single incident involving the destruction of Laish.  Perhaps the most significant of them all was the fact that the tribe of Dan embraced idolatry and false worship more readily than any of the other children of Israel (though all were eventually guilty of doing so to one degree or another).  In many respects, the willingness of the Danites to adopt strange gods and other religions in place of the worship of Yahweh, and to quickly establish a base of operations for the development of their idolatrous practices, proved very enticing to many of their fellow Israelites.  Dan, in essence, became the facilitator of paganism for the children of Israel, and as such, the main polluter of God’s way among the people.             The choice of territory in which the Danites ultimately settled is, in itself, quite strategic.  First of all, it put them as far away as possible from the rest of the nation, and especially from Shiloh, where the center of Yahweh-worship in Israel was situated at this time in their history.  In positioning themselves in this fashion, they were subjected to great temptation by the heathen societies to the north and west.  Inevitably, given their location, they came under the influence of the people about whom we have already learned so much–the Edomite Phoenicians.             In aligning themselves with the descendants of Esau, the Danites in effect became the avowed enemies of Yahweh and the true Messiah that was to come through Jacob and Judah.  Esau vowed to kill his brother to whom he had sold the birthright, and to regain what he had lost through the treachery of Jacob.  From this early conflict stems the great struggle between the descendants of these two individuals.  Not only did the false worship center established in northern Israel by the Danites for hundreds of years vie directly with Shiloh for the spiritual allegiance of the people, there is evidence that this evil system may have had a direct connection with the crucifixion of Yahshua, for we read in that famous Messianic passage of Psalms 22: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?...Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.  Many bulls have compassed me: strong BULLS OF BASHAN have beset me round.  They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion” (Psa. 22:1, 11-13).             We know for a fact that at least the opening words of this Psalm were indeed specifically spoken by the Messiah while hanging on the cross.  It is very plausible that some of the other verses were also quoted by the Savior on this horrible occasion.  Whether this is so or not, the 22nd Psalm is unquestionably about the dying Messiah.  Note it is said that “strong bulls of Bashan” were present at the crucifixion, and that they uttered slurs at Christ as He hung suffering and dying on the cross.  Bashan, the area to which Dan migrated, was famous for its strong bulls, and in this instance, they are used as a symbol for the enemies of Messiah, indeed, the very ones perhaps most responsible for His death.  This statement may have far greater implications and repercussions than are normally attached to it.              Who were these bulls of Bashan?  Don’t forget who called this part of the country their home.  By the first century A.D., that region was populated with Danites and Edomites.  Is it possible that this combination in some way was responsible for the murder of Yahshua?  Wasn’t it a segment of the Jewish religious leadership that fomented the plot to kill the Savior?  Well, that is certainly what the Bible indicates, although there were certainly other conspirators involved.  Was this signal event orchestrated by higher powers than the chief priests, scribes, and elders, who served only as puppets in the matter?  Or had the religious power elite of first-century Judea become infiltrated by men of questionable ethnic and moral background, indeed men who descended from the avowed enemies of the true Jewish people?  These are serious questions for anyone seeking the full truth and a deeper understanding of how this world has been shaped by the hands of evil powers willing to literally strike a deal with the devil.

Moses saw a panorama of Israel’s future territory from Mount Nebo. Some parts of the land are not viewable from this mountain. The verse actually tells us that hwhy showed him, thereby giving him a perspective that otherwise would have been impossible. So since hwhy was giving him eyes to see, which can also imply a spiritual vision, what else might Moses have actually perceived? There is an interesting phrase in Devarim 34:2: 
the western sea -  (hayam ha’acharon)
That phrase can also be interpreted – the last day (see Nehemiah 8:18). Insert that interpretation back into the verse and you see that hwhy showed him all the land….as far as the last day. 

To see the conquest and the ultimate victory of the Messiah – a Messiah who would walk the Promised Land, die and resurrect from the dead. To see the children of Israel return to their land of paradise. To borrow a phrase from Passover…dayeinu – it would have been enough. Devarim 34:5 So Moses the servant of hwhy died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of hwhy. It is no surprise to us that Moses is called the “servant of hwhy”. Yet it may be a surprise to you that this is the very first time in the Torah that he is given this title. The word for servant literally means “slave”. Moses was designated to be the property of His Master with no identity of his own. He lived his life devoted to the one he loved. It was most likely Joshua (Yeshua type) who penned these final words of the Torah. It was the highest possible compliment that could have been paid to Moses to call him a servant of hwhy. Welcome to the Hall of Faith Moses!
"Hebrews 11:24-26 King James Version (KJV)
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward."
I do not know about you, but when i read about Moses' death on MT Nebo it instantly reminds me of the peaceful death scene of Luke Skywalker from Star Wars 8.

Moses was not sick or weak when he died: 
Devarim 34:7 Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. 
Yet it was part of the plan that Moses would have to die before Israel could enter the Promised Land. Devarim 18:15 promised another prophet like Moses: 
Devarim 18:15 "hwhy your Elohim will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, 
This Prophet, who is our Adonai and Messiah Yeshua, also had to suffer death before His people would be able to enter the Promised Land and claim the promises. 

The first letter of the Torah is a b (bet). It is a picture of a “house”. The last word of the Torah is lae (Israel). A house is a Hebraic picture of a family. Israel is that bride chosen to dwell in His house. That is the story of Torah. And there’s even more. The first and last letters of the Torah spell (lev). That means heart. Torah is the revelation of the heart of the Father. And for some unknown reason, He has chosen us to dwell in His House. Oh, let our own hearts respond to that undeserved and incredible gift of love! 

PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT

I just realised that Moses and Elijah were also present as well in spirit - or were they? Remember, Yeshua spoke to Moses on the Mount to give him the Torah and Elijah also spoke to Yeshua when he was in the wilderness. So, could it be that the disciples are looking into two moments in the past simultaneously? Was the transfiguration just a time window/warp? This shows how YHWH is out of time and can do anything to manipulate it. Satan wants this ability to time-travel and ruin God's plan, but no one, but Him and His people can do this. Epic - i have some profound ideas for the Era of 303 universe now!

Caesarea Philippi is the place in northern Israel next to MT Hermon is where Yeshua reveals Himself. This place is very suspicious for many clear reasons because this is ground zero for Satan's ultimate endgame plan and it is the place where Yeshua declared that Peter was the rock, that Yeshua was going to die and resurrect and where He was transfigured. It is also connected to when Yeshua said that the New Jerusalem will have its centre over MT Hermon. I believe in the spiritual realm, Yeshua utterly obliterated and disabled the powers that have been attached to this place for 4000 years. Some people believe that the event when Yeshua revealed who He was to Peter happened on Yom Kippur or on one of the 10 days of Awe. This only makes sense when later on on Tabernacles (Sukkot) when Yeshua is transfigured, Peter says he would like to make a Sukkot for Yeshua, Moses and Elijah. Here is a summary of the many strange things this counterfeit MT Zion is associated with.

1. Occupied by the apostate tribe of Dan (aka the super soldiers of the Antichrist's Black Awakening army.) Shelomith is the mother of the son's wife the blasphemed YHWH's name, was from Dan. Jezebel - the most wicked woman in the Bible, is said to have come from this tribe. They were also the Spartans which became the first garrison state that practised eugenics in which later inspired the Nazis super race projects of creating Nephilim.
2. The landing place of the 200 Fallen Angels in the book of Enoch in the days of Jared (4562 BC).
3. Was known as the "gates of Hades' (Hell) or in Greek mythology the Doors of Death.
4. It was a large cultic site where worshippers of the Hellenic god Pan (Azazel) would flock to worship.
5. Augustus Caesar built a temple to himself here, reigning from 27 BC - 14 AD.
6. Nimrod (the first and the last Antichrist) built a fortress nearby on MT Hermon during his Sumerian empire from c. 2258 - c.1700 BC.

Great information from http://www.land-of-the-bible.com/Caesarea_Philippi:
The Greeks called this place Panias, and the cave was the main attraction for Hellenistic pagan worship. Animal sacrifices were thrown into the bottomless pool inside. If the sacrifices sank, the gods were appeased. Next to the Pan cave are five niches with indented scalloped areas cut into the face of the cliff for their idols. These niches had elaborate temples attached to worship Pan, Zeus, Aesculapius (who brought Orion/Nimrod back to life), Hera, Athena Aphrodite, Ares, Nemesis, and a sanctuary to the cult of the “dancing goats.” Pan was the god of the goats and his pipe music would entice the goats to dance, and make their fertility assured (he is also linked to sex, lust, and bestiality). It was so wicked, a sin city like today’s Las Vegas, that rabbis forbade a good Jew to come here. Still, Jesus brought his men here anyway and revealed to them that He was the promised Messiah (Matthew 16). Why here? It was a simple way to let the world, both seen and unseen, know that there would be a coming battle for the souls of men. At the foot of this debauched mountain, the gauntlet was thrown at Satan’s feet; his time was over. This mountain’s other significance is as the traditional site of the Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:1-8). Interesting again to note that He chose “Satan’s turf” to proclaim His glory to His disciples. No one knows the exact spot on Mount Hermon where this glorification occurred, but most believe that it was indeed here. Today you can see this cave, the rubble of the temples, and the shrines that were carved into the cliffs where Jesus acknowledged Peter’s revelation at Caesarea Philippi (today called Banias, most likely an Arab corruption of Pan, Panias). There are huge sections of carved stone from the Temple all around the area, and King Agrippa’s Palace nearby. Overall, a fascinating stop that even brought Mark Twain here in 1867. He described Caesarea Philippi like this: “…scattered every where, in the paths and in the woods, are Corinthian capitals, broken porphyry pillars, and little fragments of sculpture; and up yonder in the precipice where the fountain gushes out, are well-worn Greek inscriptions over niches in the rock where in ancient times the Greeks, and after them the Romans, worshipped the sylvan god Pan.” The ancients believed that water symbolized the abyss and death, so the spring that flowed out of the Gate of Hades made Jesus’ promise about His Church’s supremacy all the more poignant. “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the Gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:17-20). How perfect that one of the most sinful places in Israel was where He revealed Himself to be the true God of Israel.

The road of Emmaus  is the road we must take to understand the Scriptures. We should have a heart-burn for Him when we read the Torah and the Old Testament because they all wrote about Yeshua.
"27 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." Luke 24:27
As we have seen this year, Yeshua is revealed all over the Torah. He is the Torah. So many references get revealed to me about Him in the Torah, i could not possibly mention all of them in the blogs. It is very exciting each week at how we discover the Messiah at the foundation of His word.

Moses was buried in a valley in Moab."9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." 

I. The Testament of Moses is quoted in Jude 9

1.          "But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”" (Jude 9)

2.          Perhaps the reason why the Testament of Moses is quoted by the Holy Spirit in Jude 9 is because the early Christians used this Jewish document to prove Jesus was the Christ.

a.          The document did correctly predict the Messiah to come around 29 AD.

b.         The story of the dispute over the body of Moses likely stems from an oral prophet, was widely known and was recorded in the Testament of Moses as a manmade record.

3.          “The dispute referred to by Jude was recorded in the now lost ending of an apocryphal Jewish work called the Assumption of Moses. But the tradition can be reconstructed from references to that account in a number of early Christian writings (see Bauckham, pp. 65–76). Satan laid claim to the corpse of Moses for his kingdom of darkness because Moses had killed an Egyptian (Exod. 2:12). He was therefore a murderer, however virtuous his subsequent achievements, and so was unworthy of honorable burial. Satan, in his ancient role of accuser of God’s people (Rev. 12:10), was seeking to prove Moses’ guilt. In response to the charge, Michael did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against Satan. Barclay (DSB, p. 188) expresses the opinion of most commentators that Jude means: “If the greatest of the good angels refused to speak evil of the greatest of the evil angels, even in circumstances like that, surely no human being may speak evil of any angel.”” (UBCS 1-2 Pe/Jud, Jude 9, 1992 AD)

Be strong! Be strong! And may we be strengthened!
