THE WORD
Psalms 1 (Tehillim) The Scriptures version
1 Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong,
And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of
scoffers, 2But his delight is in the Torah of YHWH, And he meditates in
His Torah day and night. 3For he shall be as a tree Planted by the
rivers of water, That yields its fruit in its season, And whose leaf does
not wither, And whatever he does prospers. 4The wrong are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind blows away. 5Therefore the wrong
shall not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous. 6For YHWH knows the way of the righteous, But the way of
the wrong comes to naught.
Jer.50:6 BEING LED ASTRAY=BEING LED TO PERISH
SIGN OF YHWH/GOD VS. MARK OF THE BEAST
Ba'al,Nimrod,Asherah,Ishtar,Babel,Babylon,Asherim,etc.
Do we have the sign or mark of YHWH/God, or do we have the mark of the beast?
How can we avoid the mark of the beast if we cannot identify it, or the mark or
sign of YHWH/God?
Here is a study to help us be bereans and search it out. We can never be to sure
or to right about something. Right?
Some things to consider while reading:
1. it is your responsibility to search to see if what is being written is true.
2. Several different Bible versions are used in this study. You also should
use several versions and historical texts to prove or disprove it.
3. if you are a babe in Christ, it is still important to read your Bible to see if
your pastor is teaching Truth, but this may be over your head for now and do not
get discouraged, but draw closer to YHWH/GOD through prayer, His Word, and
fellowship.
4. The Bible is one flowing work. IN YHWH/God’s eyes there is no
difference…no separation. His Word is His Word. The Father and the Son are
One. If you lean towards the old testament or new testament more than the other,
you are in error. He is His Word. To accept one but reject or minimize the other is
to reject or minimize(attempt to anyway) YHWH/God Himself.
5. Yisrael=Israel.
=YHWH
God/I Am who I AM/self existin
Helel=Lucifer
Elohim=God/Mighty One
Deu 6:6 “And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your
heart,
Deu 6:7 and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them
when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie
down, and when you rise up,
Deu 6:8 and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, an...
Deu 11:18 ‘And you shall lay up these Words1 of Mine in your heart and in your
being, and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between your eyes
Exo 13:9 “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder
between your eyes, that the Torah of YHWH is to be in your mouth, for with a
strong hand YHWH has brought you out of Mitsrayim.
Exo 13:16 “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your
eyes, for by strength of hand YHWH brought us out of Mitsrayim.”
Exo 31:13 “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you
are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign1 between Me and you throughout your
generations, to know that I, YHWH, am setting you apart. Exo 31:17 ‘Between Me
and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever. For in six days YHWH made the
heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”
Eze 20:12 “And I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign1 between them and
Me, to know that I am YHWH who sets them apart. Footnote: 1See Ex. 31:13-17.
Eze 20:20 ‘And set apart My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and
you, to know that I am YHWH your Elohim.’
(Are we Israel? Are we not adopted or grafted into Israel?)
Sign- a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen,
prodigy, evidence, etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.
Sign=mark, signal, flag beacon, etc.
Hand- a hand (the open one (indicating power, means, direction, etc.),
Frontlet- From an unused root meaning to go around or bind; a fillet for the
forehead: - frontlet.
Forehead- face
Hand=power, will and what direction we are headed in
Frontlet or forehead=mind and what we perceive as truth. Mind also is our heart
and what is important to us. It is all linked together. ( ex: face- In seeking YHWH’
s/God’s Face, we are seeking His Truth. )
Mark of the beast
Rev 14:9 And a third messenger followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If
anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark upon his
forehead or upon his hand,
Rev 14:10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured
out undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he shall be tortured with fire and
sulphur before the set-apart messengers and before the Lamb.
Do we have the sign or mark of YHWH/God, or do we have the mark of the beast?
How can we avoid the mark of the beast if we cannot identify it, or the mark or
sign of YHWH/God?
Here is a study to help us be bereans and search it out. We can never be to sure
or to right about something. Right?
So we see already that his commands are a sign, or mark. We see the Sabbath,
the Biblical seventh day Sabbath, as a sign. But we know also that the beast has
a mark or sign.
When we look at hand and forehead closely in scripture, we find that it is
connected to what we do, who and how we worship, how we live, what is of most
importance to us, etc. This is how we will be judged: who we worship and how we
worship. This has been the issue from the beginning.
The rebellion of satan
Satan rebelled against YHWH/God and wanted to be worshipped. (In the texts
here, it describes satan issue and fall, but also the issue of kings and their fall.
Notice how Lucifer is equated to the King of babel. This is important if you keep
reading.)
Isa 14:4 that you shall take up this proverb against the sovereign of Baḇel, and
say, “How the oppressor has ceased, the gold-gatherer ceased!
Isa 14:5 “YHWH has broken the staff of the wrong, the sceptre of the rulers,
Isa 14:6 he who smote the people in wrath with ceaseless blows, he who ruled
the gentiles in displeasure, is persecuted and no one restrains.
Isa 14:7 “All the earth is at rest and at peace, they shall break forth into singing.
Isa 14:8 “Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Leḇanon,
saying, ‘Since you were cut down, no woodcutter has come up against us.’
Isa 14:9 “The grave from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your
coming; it stirs up the dead for you, all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised
up from their thrones all the sovereigns of the gentiles.
Isa 14:10 “All of them respond and say to you, ‘Have you also become as weak
as we? Have you become like us?
Isa 14:11 ‘Your arrogance has been brought down to the grave, and the sound
of your stringed instruments; the maggot is spread under you, and worms cover
you.’
Isa 14:12 “How you have fallen from the heavens, O Hĕlĕl, son of the morning!
You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the gentiles!
Isa 14:13 “For you have said in your heart, ‘Let me go up to the heavens, let me
raise my throne above the stars of Ěl, and let me sit in the mount of meeting on
the sides of the north;
Isa 14:14 let me go up above the heights of the clouds, let me be like the Most
High.’
Isa 14:15 “But you are brought down to the grave, to the sides of the Pit.
Isa 14:16 “Those who see you stare at you, and ponder over you, saying, ‘Is this
the man who made the earth tremble, who shook reigns,
Isa 14:17 who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who would
not open the house of his prisoners?’
Eze 28:13 “You were in Ěḏen, the garden of Elohim. Every precious stone was
your covering: the ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, shoham, and jasper,
sapphire, turquoise, and emerald and gold. The workmanship of your settings
and mountings was prepared for you on the day you were created.
Eze 28:14 “You were the anointed keruḇ that covered. And I placed you, you
were on the set-apart mountain of Elohim. You walked up and down in the midst
of stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 “You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until
unrighteousness was found in you.
Eze 28:16 “By the greatness of your trade you became filled with violence within,
and you sinned. So I thrust you from the mountain of Elohim, and I destroyed you,
O covering keruḇ, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your loveliness, you corrupted
your wisdom for the sake of your splendour. I threw you to the earth, I laid you
before sovereigns, to look at you.
Nimrod rebelled against YHWH/God and wanted to be worshipped.
The Rebellion of Nimrod
Gen 10:8 And Kush brought forth Nimroḏ, he began to be a mighty one on the
earth.
Gen 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before יהוה, therefore it is said, “Like Nimroḏ
the mighty hunter before. YHWH” (This actually, in the original text describes
Nimrod as being against YHWH and rebellious and competing for power. This is
not portrayed in many English texts. Many people followed Nimrod in his rebellion
because of the great hunter he was. His philosophy was that man can be great all
by themselves. This is why they began to build the Tower of Babel. It was in
rebellion of YHWH/God and an attempt to show what man can do without
YHWH/God. Out of this came baal, Tamuz, and Ishtar worship. Baal was Nimrod,
Tammuz was his son and Ishtar was His mother and wife. It is a long weird story,
but it is historical and easily researchable. So Nimrod was worshipped as
baal/Tammuz, and his mother who became his wife as Ishtar, aka Eostre, Ishtar,
Astarte, Ashtoreth, Easter,Queen of heaven . Baal was worshipped by way of
trees, groves, decorated trees with gold, etc. Tammuz was worshipped by way of
eating ham because he was said to be killed by a boar. Ishtar was worshiped by
poles, trees, etc. and said to have been reborn and sent to earth in an egg, etc.
This is where we get our pagan traditions such as Christmas, christmass trees,
easter, easter eggs and easter ham. And it is said that Baal’s birthday is Dec. 25
during the winter solstice, and Ishthar’s rebirth is Easter…hence where the word
came from. There is a bunny rabbit and chicks in the Isthar story also.All of this is
easily researchable. We have no excuse to be in the dark anymore. Lol
Back to Nimrod… We know that his rebellion is rooted in something else
also…satan’s rebellion. )
Gen 10:10 And the beginning of his reign was Baḇel, and Ereḵ, and Akkaḏ, and
Kalnĕh, in the land of Shinʽar.
Gen 10:11 From that land he went to Ashshur and built Ninewĕh, and Reḥoḇoth
Ir, and Kelaḥ,
Gen 10:12 and Resen between Ninewĕh and Kelaḥ, the great city.
1Ch 1:10 And Kush brought forth Nimroḏ; he began to be a mighty one on the
earth.
Baal
Jdg 2:13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Jdg 6:25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take
thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw
down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself
seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
1Ki 11:5 And Shelomoh went after Ashtoreth the mighty one of the Tsiḏonians,
and after Milkom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Isthar, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Easter, Queen of heaven
Deu 16:21 “Do not plant for yourself any tree as an Ashĕrah near the altar of
YHWH your Elohim that you make for yourself.
Exo 34:13 “But break down their altars, and smash their pillars, and cut down
their Ashĕrim –
Jdg 3:7 Thus the children of Yisra’ĕl did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and forgot
YHWH their Elohim, and served the Baʽals and the Ashĕrahs.
1Ki 14:15 “And YHWH shall smite Yisra’ĕl, as a reed is shaken in the water, and
shall pluck Yisra’ĕl from this good soil which He gave to their fathers, and shall
scatter them beyond the River, because they made their Ashĕrim, provoking,
YHWH
Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the
women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour
out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Jer 44:17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own
mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings
unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals,
and were well, and saw no evil.
Jer 44:17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own
mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings
unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the
cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals,
and were well, and saw no evil.
Jer 44:19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out
drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out
drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Jer 44:25 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your
wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying,
We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the
queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely
accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
the groves: Jdg_6:25; Exo_34:13; Deu_16:21; 1Ki_16:33, 1Ki_18:19; 2Ki_23:6,
2Ki_23:14; 2Ch_15:16, 2Ch_24:18, 2Ch_33:3, 2Ch_33:19, 2Ch_34:3, 2Ch_34:7
Please notice that satan’s and Nimrod’s rebellion involved them exalting
themselves higher than what YHWH intended. This is pride. (This is
unteachableness(if that is a word…lol) This is the spirit that says I know what is
right already and what I have been doing is fine. This is the opposite of humilty
which is coming as a child eager to learn. Just a side note. Sorry.)
Satan/Lucifer wants worship, Nimrod wanted worship, the beast wants worship.
Are we seeing a pattern? It all goes back to satan trying to deceive us to worship
him. He used Nimrod/Baal/Ashteroh/Tammuz/babal,Babylon,babylonia/groves,
trees,idols,false religion and tradition, etc…
Anyway…
The Mark of the beast is equated to false worship and or a worldly system, aka
BABYLON!
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out of her,
my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.1
Footnote: 1Jer. 51:6 & 45.
Mark of the beast=Babylon, false worship system where times and seasons are
changed(Sunday Sabbath vs. seventh day Sabbath, easter vs. Passover,
Christmas vs. the Feasts in Lev. 23 and the New Testament)
Dan 7:25 and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-
apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times1 and law2,
and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time. Footnotes:
1This is another word for festivals. 2Changing the law amounts to lawlessness.
Read in 2 Thess. 2:3-12 about “the lawless one” and the “lawlessness” which
would take over (indeed, it has already taken over!) in the set-apart place, and
also about Messiah’s judgment upon the lawless “prophets” in Mt. 7:23, and the
lawless “believers” in Mt. 13:41!
Mark or sign of YHWH = His commands and His set apart/holy feasts/days.
So now we can search ourselves and continue to search the scriptures to see if
we have the mark of the beast or the sign of YHWH/God.
Oh, His Spirit is also a sign on and in us. If we have His Spirit we will not worship
the beast or take his mark and will come out of Babylon.
Closing info:
1. Yahushua/Jesus was not born on Dec. 25 but in the fall during Feast of
Tabernacles/Boothes.
2. Dec. 25th is said to be the birthdate of many gods such as baal, zues, and
others. Google it. It was picked as Christ’s birth to coincide with the fasle deities
so Constantine could have a united kingdom. Hmmm….
3. The only scripture that was taught in the New Testament was the Old
testament. Hmmm…The disciples were not Christians, but Jews, then called
followers of The Way, which was a sect of Judaism. First century followers were
known as Natsarim and Messianites. Act 11:26 and having found him, he brought
him to Antioch. And it came to be that for an entire year they came together in the
assembly and taught large numbers. And the taught ones were called
‘Messianites’ first in Antioch.
4. The Bible was originally written in Paleo Hebrew/Hebrew/Aramaic and
translated into Greek, Latin, and English. More and more of the New testament is
found to be written in Hebrew or Aramaic, not originally in Greek also. Maybe
some was originally written in Greek, but not all of it. Plus,
Yahushua/Yeshua/Jesus and His disciples were Jewish/Hebrew, so their main
language would have been Hebrew and Aramaic. But they also knew Greek.
Think about it.
I love you and hope this helps you in your personal studies somehow.
Be blessed and Shabbat Shalom!
