Could the Apophis Asteroid fulfill a Bible prophecy? Maybe....

Will the Apophis Asteroid be the Wormwood Asteroid of Revelation?

In 2006's Sky & Telescope, there was an announcement of the collision of an asteroid with the Earth in 2036. However, the most likely date (in my opinion) is really Friday, April 13, 2029. ...as it makes its trajectory through Cancer...the 320-meter (1,050-foot) asteroid called Apophis may be the very excuse of the mid-tribulation's nuclear war.

The impact of such a small asteroid is believed to have the comparable blast effect as a single nuke with a force of thousands of megatons, and destroy the ozone layer. Further, its dust thrown up will be 7 times greater than the climatic changes due to Krakatoa's explosion in the 1880s.

If that is the 2029 date is the case, then the Tribulation will begin in September of 2025, and the Rapture of the Church sometime prior to this at an unknown date. The "after two days" or 2,000 years "he will raise us up" then becomes literal..as neither the Jewish or Gregorian Calendar are so accurate in their meticulousness in recording every single year accurately from the Fall of the Roman Empire to the High Middle Ages.

Astronomers and global politicians of the potential impact zone are beginning to worry about an appropriate and nuclear response If this asteroid revolves in a 7 year cycle, instead of an impact in 2029 and 2036, we can also worry about a strike on 2022 or 2015 as well, and project a Tribulation Period beginning in 2018 or 2011.

Regardless, once the rapture hits, and we saints are taken out of this world, taken by the hand as those delivered from Sodom & Gomorrah, that asteroid (or one like it) will strike 1290 -1291 days after the Tribulation begins. That is, the Trib must begin in a fall month, and the Great Trib and Day of the L-RD at or about the Passover / Firstfruits holiday.

In other words...the asteroid is just another sign that the Rapture is almost certainly to occur in the next 20 years, and we are at the edge of eternity. We can either be delivered and sheltered in Yeshua, or deny Him and go over the brink to the vast abyss hundreds of miles below.

Of Deuteronomy 28:20, we read a loose paraphrasing of the Hebrew in that verse, which helps open a Last Day's insight:

"HASHEM will send upon you a bright-luminary/light which will cause you to curse vehemently; a strong luminary bringing about a discomfort of noise - confusion - of panic, and a strong scolding meant to bring about an understanding of wrong and the act of disapproval in all that you set your hand for to work-toil-and-accomplish...because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby you have forsaken Me."

In Revelation 16:8-11's expanded and reiterating loose paraphrase, we read:

"And the 4th Angel poured out his pan upon the Sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the NAME of G-D
[i.e. Yeshua / Jesus],
which has power upon/which can overcome these plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.
And the 5th Angel poured out his pan upon the Throne of the Beast; and his kingdom was full of chaotic disorder of shadiness/darkness/blindness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain.
And blasphemed the G-D of Heaven because of their pains of exertion and labor, which almost consumes their whole strength of exertion, and (because of) their multitudes of ulcers/sores so abundant that these ulcerous sores are as if drawn together, and repented not of their deeds."



In Revelation 16 and in Deuteronomy 28:22, we see that these ulcerous sores are more than just sunburns...
"HASHEM with smite you with a peeling consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with scorching blight and with mildew."


The scorching blight is the radioactive dust that speads upon impact and kills life over about one-third of the planet Earth. The mildew is a secondary effect of the dust, in which it rages out of control like some fierce alien thing. We've seen this type of mildew or "mold" in the late 1970s destroy the housing developments at outskirts of Niagara Falls New York, in which bio-chemical weapon agents (assumed neutralized by the Army contractors) were combined with other Hazmat Waste materials, and dumped "cost effectively" in a field. Later, when a housing development was built on top of the dump-site, the mildew raged out of control into new housing developments. Kiddie stuff of that mildew in the Tribulation Week that is yet to come.

The sword represents as a result of weaponry...the characteristics of the peeling consumption matches the case histories of those who survived closest to the blast zones of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. That is, the horror of the above events is going to be due to a nuclear launch that is made against Apophis, or an asteroid like it -- so that it becomes as this next verse from Revelation 8:11:

"And the name of the star is called WORMWOOD [in Russian: "Chernobyl"]: and the third part of the waters became Wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter [read "radioactive"]."

Hence, if men drink, the radioactivity burns their tongues and insides out.

But the real reason of this asteroid coming to Earth in the first place? Because we in America are the New Babylon, spreading our tales of blood rather than the Good News of Yeshua...condoning all types of immorality and vice. But those seeking our destruction are no more moral than we...and where our annihilation is swift, theirs will be excruciatingly painful and unenviable. Trust in Yeshua now, and you can avoid all of this (Zephaniah 2:3, Isaiah 55:6).

The Revelation 8:10-11 reference to the star can be a satellite with a nuclear reactor that went into meltdown, or an ICBM that didn't explode and went into meltdown istead (perhaps).

http://www.atomicarchive.com/Photos/LANL/image56.shtml

On July 9, 1962 The U.S. exploded a 1.4 megaton nuke over Johnson Island...the effective range was 9,000 miles (i.e., Argentina) of EMP interference for up to one year. The explosion was not a perfect circular pulse, but probably an oblong after the pattern of the photograph above...to which Hawaii was on the narrow of the oblong, some 750 miles away.

http://www.atomicarchive.com/Effects/effects21.shtml

The depletion of ozone in the atmosphere is not only related to volcanic activity, but it is also the reason why testing of nuclear devices was moved underground. The blame was made on aerosols, but they simply were a red herring. The depletion of ozone by upper atmosphere nuclear detonation (via the nuclear war in the Mid-Trib, launched by a Russian led Nato, Iran, and others against us) allows a quick ultra-violet burning. But the specifics is that the star makes the fresh waters bitter...and in the Russian, the wormwood is labeled as Chernobyl. Therefore, that star is not dealing with an origin from the sun...it is a failed nuke that poisons 1/3 of the Earth.

It could even be an Iranian supernuke helped by Russia...which is why we need to flatten Iran now, and vigilantly protect America if we want Peace for at least one more generation and in our lifetime. Hosea says, After 2 days (2,000 years) will He revive us, in the 3rd day He will revive [resurrect] us up, and we shall live in His sight (Hosea 6:2). Hence, if literal, we have until as late as 2030 before prophecy is REQUIRED to kick in, and IT ALL (as far as the world is concerened) hits the fan.

If the composition of the Apophis is of such a frozen and gaseous nature, even after entry burnoff, the size of it will be about 10 times larger than the 1908 Tunguska 100 ft. diameter pre-nuclear experience in Siberia, perhaps exploding at 25,000 feet. That explosion back then produced a blast equivalence to 10 - 20 megatons.

Page 5 of the document and page 9 of this Dept. of Energy pdf. from some 45 years ago, lets the reader appreciate the grasp of how big an explosion just 1 megaton is.

http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/purl.cover.jsp;jsessionid=DA230CC298219736A048D0D721F85791?purl=/4691159-jwCX6O/native/


Hiroshima was the equivalent of just 13 kilotons at 1,900 ft. in elevation from the target.

The asteroid would best fit a scenario which opens the Day of the L-RD with the legitimate call to launch a missile or series of deep-space long-range (modified space rockets) nuclear missiles...and instead opens World War 3 from Europe and the Middle East making the optimum "day of infamy" nuclear strike on the USA, fully obliterating us.

The Tribulation period is descriptive of the end of the world, as we know it. It is the end of the period of grace, and the beginning of Daniel 9:24-27’s 70th week of years. Each week of years is defined as 7 actual years upon the earth. When Jesus died upon the Cross, He stopped the Judgment clock, and we entered into a period of grace. That last week of years is determined to bring all sins, from the age of Adam to ours: to a finality, to cut it off and to kill it -- therefore judgment and wrath from G-D.

This wrath is upon all those who receive not the atonement of the Cross. Mankind is called to ask G-D that He would pass over their unrighteous acts and rebellion toward Him.

The 70th week of 7 years is collectively called “the Tribulation Period”, but it is actually divided into two halves (Daniel 9:27; 12:11,12). The first half is also referred to as the “Tribulation”, while the second half is the “Great Tribulation” and the “Day of the LORD”.

In the first 1290 days, there is still a call to believe and trust Jesus and his work of the Cross, that they might be taken up, and away from judgment in the coming Elijahn rapture. At Day 1291, the Bible appears to describe a nuclear war that strikes America and Russia, started by a launch against an asteroid that strikes the Mediterranean, and over the course of the next 1335 days, the world’s population is decreased to possibly only the hundreds of millions. Our current planet population is somewhere close to 7 billion.

When the Bible says a 200 million man army comes from the kings of the East to march on the Middle East...we should take those words and that number literally. The vision of locusts may also involve some of the genetic alterations that is going on in bio-chemical warfare research, in which human genes are mixed with animalsand insects to see what kind of mutations to horrible to contemplate, might be used in the name of "national security". It will probably be either a Mid-East or Russian lab that breeds and releases these evil locust mutations, as listed in Revelation.

L-RD, snatch us away before such a horrible day. Amen.

Skeptic Questions about Jesus answered, 1

At what time was Jesus crucified?

Not mentioned in Matthew

9:00 a.m. -- “It was the third hour when they crucified him.” (Mark 15:25)

Not mentioned in Luke

12:00 p.m. -- Jesus was not crucified until after the sixth hour! (John 19:14-15)

-------------------------------------------

Review:

Was then (the) third hour, and they crucified Him.” (Mark 15:25)

“It was then, Preparation of the Passover, hour then about the sixth,
And he says to the Jews, Behold (look and see), the king of you!
They then cried, Away, Away, Crucify him!…then, therefore, he delivered up Him
To them in order that He might be crucified.”
(John 19:14-15)

John was written by a Kohen Priest by the name of John, the Son of Zebedee, who was related to the High Priest by either marraige or by blood. Hence, the Gospel of John is written from a Levitical Priest's perspective and way of viewing the hours of the day.

The Preparation of the Passover , from the Kohen / Priestly point of view, from inside the Temple ritual, began at 3 am.

The priests starting duty would awake and wash in 40 se'ah or 340 liters of water or more (Yoma 3,3). The G'vinay (like a priestly combo watch crier and drill sergeant) would yell their rear ends up and about. One was so loud a screamer, the Jerusalem Talmud says Agrippa rewarded him, as he was heard as far as 8 parasangs {23 miles} away (JT Shekalim 5,1), which is obviously an exaggeration.

The priests would then enter into the holy area {only} of the chamber of hewn stone and do assignment "lottery". They would then assemble in squads, with squad leaders bearing torches, unlock the access to the Levitical courts, and undergo various other pre-dawn rituals to verify the sanctity of the Temple, the presence of the 93 Temple Vessels, etc. Once the search is over, and "all is well" is sounded, only then can the preparation ofthe High Priest meal offering begin.

Another lottery for pre-dawn ash removal from the altar andotherassignments will then be conducted.

On the Preparation of the Passover, Sukkot, and at the dedication of the firstfruits of Shavuot (Pentecost), this activity of the priests must begin at the start of the 3 am Watch.

Hence, it was the sixth hour at 9am on this Preparation of the Passover day, in the proper interpretation of John 19:14. Tovia got it wrong again, as his objections often do.

John, as a sacrificing Kohen Priest who wore his own high priest garb and still sacrificed the unblemished lamb on Pesach, even after the Resurrection and destruction of the Temple, wrote and spoke from this vein. The High Priest’s or final Passover lamb, was sacrificed at 3 pm at the 12th hour with the equivalent expression as Jesus stated upon the Cross as if a High Priest over His own sacrificial life (as it were), saying, “It is finished”.

Hence, there is NO contradiction, as both the Synoptic Gospels and John are therefore both designating 9 am.

Psalm 11:4's INCARNATION Prophecy et al.

In the Hebrew, a correct reading and rendering of Psalm 11:4 into English (while sanctifying the NAME) is:

"HASHEM. In His Holy Temple, HASHEM: in the heavens, His Throne.
His eyes see: His EYELIDS WILL EXAMINE AND TEST THE INTELLECTUAL AND INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE of the sons of Man."


The literal rendering of "Aph'Aph" is as the "fluttering eyelashes", and it denotes the activity of wings fluttering or sparks flying (ascending) upward.

As "eyelids" we see that the verb takes on a physical presence or manifestation. In effect, this Psalm is predicting an "incarnation" of the same HASHEM (i.e., the tetragrammaton name of YHVeH) who is in His Holy Temple, and who also sits upon His Throne in the Heavens.

What does the HASHEM come "in the flesh"/ "incarnate" do? He examines and tests both the intellectual and intuitive knowledge of the sons of Israel. Examine the Gospels, for in His dealings with most everyone, Jesus fulfills the Hebrew prophecy of Psalm 11:4 to the very word picture understanding, literally. He not only examines...He tests both the intellectual and intuitive knowledge in the particular type of "examination" that "Bachan" entails.


“You, HASHEM, are our Father (and)
‘OUR REDEEMER FROM EVERLASTING’ is Your NAME.”
(Isaiah 63:16b)

“Our Redeemer” in the Hebrew is Ga’alenu.

Ga’alenu in the context of Isaiah 63:16 is He who purchases us and buys us back from sin from a time when sin was not. In other words, G-D who exists before sin, restores or is purchasing us back to be restored to an original position of what He originally intended us to be. It is not only to a time before all sin offerings (be it an “olah’/burnt offering, or a “hattat”/sin offering, or an “asham”/trespass offering), it is before the very foundation of the world, and before any Creation was ever created.

Isaiah 63 begins with the consequence and bloodiness of sin. In the Old Testament Covenant system, G-D makes Himself the Savior of those who trust rightly in Him (Isaiah 63:8). And who are they that put their trust in G-D rightly? In the entirety of the verse, we see…

“For You (are) our Father, though Abraham knows us not,
and Israel acknowledges us not.
You, HASHEM, are our Father (and)
‘our Redeemer from everlasting’ is Your NAME.”
(Isaiah 63:16)

In many ways, it seems to be us...which is one of the reasons Christians (especially us of the Gentiles) love the book of Isaiah so much.

This "REDEEMER from everlasting" is the same as Micah 5:2,
“Whose goings forth are of old, even from everlasting.”This is Yeshua. This is the One called SALVATION.

Micah and Isaiah both shared circa 45-year contemporaneous ministry. The two actually compliment each other’s ministry. As the Scroll of Micah says,

“Who is a G-D like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the Remnant of His Heritage? He retaineth not His anger forever, because He delighteth in mercy.
He will turn again, and have compassion upon us; HE WILL SUBDUE OUR INIQUITIES; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.”
(Micah 7:18-19). Even so, Amen.


In various passages of the Tanakh, we read that:

"There is none holy as the LORD:
for there is none beside thee..."
(e.g., I Samuel 2:2)

In Psalm 110:1, we find that there is the exaltation of the Lord or Adonai, which some would rather call the Master, and pronounce as Adonee -- but still, is He who in I Samuel 2:10 is identified as King Messiah.

In Daniel 9:25, Messiah the King and Master is called a "nagid" in the Hebrew. In effect, it means "one who is prominently before" or chief, encompassing governmental - military - religious ranks all into His one person.

The idea then carries us back to the manifestation of G-D incarnate -- the EL Gibbor -- who takes these ranks upon Himself in Isaiah (9:5 in the Hebrew Text, 9:6 in the English text).

In the following verse, He sits upon the throne of David, but it is to an heir or branch of David that an eternal rulership is promised. That is, it must be a Son of David who is both a Son and HASHEM Incarnate, as Jeremiah 23:5-6 tells us:

"Behold, the days come, saith HASHEM,
that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch [a son},
and (as) King shall reign and prosper,
and shall execute justice and judgement in the Earth.
In His days, Judah shall be saved,
and Israel shall dwell safely:
and THIS IS HIS NAME whereby He shall be called,
'HASHEM OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS'
."


This HASHEM who is to become flesh, is asked by the Psalmist to visit Israel...to visit the Vine, and is identified as the RIGHT HAND of HASHEM in Name or Title (Psalm 80:14-15,17; cf. Exodus 15:3,6).

G-D lifts His HAND to the Nations,
and the (Right) HAND becomes a STANDARD [banner, sail, gleam from far away] to the people (Isaiah 49:22). This directly points us back to HASHEM-Nissi in Exodus 17:15, HASHEM our Banner:

1) Whom in Isaiah 5:26 is an Ensign to the Nations, and who causes the Last Days Aliyah Ingathering of Israel from out of all nations.
2) Whom in Isaiah 11:10 is identified as a descendant of Jesse, HASHEM manifest through this lineage, and trusted by us Goyim (Gentiles), in whom we find glorious rest.
3) Whom in Zechariah 6:12-13, will build the Temple of HASHEM, bear the glory, sit as king - priest - counselor upon it.
4) Whom was clearly identified in the Gospels as Jesus, in front of the High Priest and Sanhedrin, by an oath upon the Divine utterance by the High priest in Matthew 26:63-64.


In Daniel 9:22 ff., when looking for his appearing, we find that there are only 69 heptads of years to which the city of Jerusalem and the holy people (the nation of Israel) are to exist in the sense of a means that Daniel could recognize, from the time of a certain event to the time of King Messiah, the LORD Himself, was to appear or be made manifest to Israel in Judah.

Because "the NAME" -- YHVEH -- subsumes all 3 tenses of the verb "to be" in Hebrew (hayah, hoveh, yiheyeh) -- and that Yeshua is HASHEM -- when Yeshua / HASHEM the Messhiach was cut off by laying His life down, time stopped on the Judgment clock of G-D and the last week of Daniel's prophecy, the last 7 years, never played out.

That clock of prophecy still retains that single week of years -- 7 years -- and it is about to start up again, and bring such fright and devastation upon the world, that unbelievers should be as "Charada" (as those dead from fright, or fleeing to deep coal minds in uncontrollable fear) because of even the knowledge of it (should they choose to reject Christ).

Again, I reiterate, "The NAME" -- YHVeH -- subsumes all 3 tenses of the verb "to be" in the Hebrew because: G-D is above time, and beyond time, and the Creator of it. G-D created time for this particular enclosed Universe in which we live for the benefit of man, and encapsulated sin before it ever began. Time was created for our sakes, as it were.

In Judaism, YHVeH is spoken as " HASHEM" when simply referred by reverence. When YHVeH is directly read, it is spoken as "Adonai" in reverence. But when exorcism is performed, the name YHVeH is directly spoken. The very name of Jesus has an even greater authority in exorcism, because it is the name of man's redemption, and the new name which YHVeH Himself has made Himself known to us -- as He has also done with the Patriarchs and with Moses at the Burning Bush, for example.

I would ask those who do not believe in the Incarnation of HASHEM to consider Daniel 9:22 ff. in this way.

1) When can the finishing of transgression take place according to this time-line given Daniel?
2) What does the finishing of transgression truly mean?
3) Who or what makes an END of sins?
4) By when is the end of sins to take place by? And how is it possible?
5) What is covered by the "reconciliation of iniquity" and when and how is it to occur by?
6) Who or what can bring in everlasting righteousness? And when is it to occur by?
7) What is the legal weight of the clause "to seal up (both) the vision and prophecy"? Can it not be a means of stopping a "Judgement clock" and extend the deadline?
8) Whom is the Most Holy that must be anointed? By when must He be anointed by? And why would someone purposely say we must anoint a city or Temple in place of a Messhiach here? Where is its example in scripture? And what is the predominant and repetitive quotation of anointing in Scripture pointing to -- person or building(s)?


Regarding Jeremiah 23:1-8, The Jewish Commentary of Lamentations Rabbah 1:51 states:

'What is the NAME of the King Messiah?'

Rabbi Abba ben Kahana said:
His Name is "Adonai", as it is stated
- "And this is the NAME whereby He shall be called:
Adonai is our Righteousness."
[verse 6].

In this, the Jewish reading aloud of Jeremiah 23:6 will be YHVeH "read" as Adonai. Adonai is the NAME of King Messiah, and therefore YHVeH is the NAME of King Messiah according to Lamentations 1:51's Rabbi Abba ben Kahana.

Therefore, when YHVeH speaks unto Adonai in Psalm 110:1, it is YHVeH speaking unto YHVeH, and G-D (the Father) unto King Messiah (who is also YHVeH).

In Psalm 65:5-7, the confidence is placed in G-D the Father of King Messiah (who here is called "salvation"), while King Messiah -- who is in the bosom of G-D the Father (Psalm 74:11-12; John 1:18) -- has the power to make still the storm and seas (cf. Psalm 107:28-30; and Jesus fulfilling this that only YHVeH King Messiah can do, in Matthew 8:23-27).

Hence, faith in G-D the Father through King Messiah as the only way of deliverance is actually an Old Testament concept fulfilled in the New Testament.

We therefore, as born-again Christian Evangelicals, are fully vindicated as practicing a restored form of that same Faith given by G-D to Israel that was to be dispensed to us of the nations from early times...but neglected by them to do so until after He was born among man, and discipled sons of Israel in person to do so. Hence, "redispensed" after an original intent through Christ.

We are called by the Hebrew Scriptures themselves to be worshipping G-D from G-D, Light from Light, very G-D of very G-d, begotten not made, who being once substance with the Father created all that was made.

And it is through the New Testament, that we realize that King Messiah, Yeshua, is He who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was incarnate of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary and was made man; was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried; and the third day rose again according to the Scriptures.

From both the Old and New Testaments, we know that King Messiah, Yeshua, is He whom ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, of whose Kingdom there shall be no end.

Literally spelled-out in the Hebrew --
Yeshua (Jesus) is prophesied and identified as King Messiah From the Old Testament or Tanakh:

4 Times in the Torah (the first 5 or Mosaic books):

Genesis 49:18, the name Yeshua (Yod-Shin-Vav-Ayin) appears in the Hebrew as the identity of King Messiah in this and all following verses I will cite. From the Torah’s own prophecy, from Jacob speaking as one of the prophets, is Yeshua NAMED by the patriarch as the Savior of his progeny.

Savior / Messiah:

Ge 49:18 I have waited for thy Yeshua, O L-RD.


The G-D whom the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew:

Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the Yeshua of the L-RD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Exodus 15:2 The L-RD is my strength and song, and he is become my Yeshua : He is my G-D, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

In context of these two chapters, this same G-D, Yeshua, is He who "roars from Heaven" to save Israel at the Reed / Red Sea, and is He who saves and Raptures (snatches to safety) in Psalm 50:1-6, Psalm 29:3; Joel 2:11, 3:15-16.


He is scorned and lightly esteemed by those who claim themselves as the best and most upright of Jews or of Israel (Genesis Rabbah 77:1, Bamidbar/ Numbers 23:10, Yoma 73b) in the end times:

Deuteronomy 32:15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he abandoned G-D which made him, and scorned lightly the Rock of his Yeshua.


King Messiah who Jacob the Patriarch prophesied of, is Yeshua:

1Samuel 2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the L-RD, mine horn is exalted in the L-RD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy Yeshua.

1 Samuel 2:10 identifies Yeshua of verse 1 as the Messiah, even as prophesied by Jacob in Genesis 49:18.


____________________________________________________


Yeshua...Yod - Shin - Vav - Ayin

Yod - The abbreviative of the Holy NAME for G-D (YHVeH)

Shin - The phoenetic is related to the root word shnh, which is in turn related to shani (scarlet...appearing 42 times in the Tanach). Shnh is the more correct Gematriac translation than the next "traditional" option. Shin is secondly, also related to shen (ivory tooth, sharp), a derivative of the root word shanan.

Vav - A hook (as those silver and gold hooks upon which the Temple curtains of Exodus chapters 26, 27, 36, and 38 hang, for example). It can even be used to describe a peg (or nail) shape as those 3 found in Jesus at the Cross.

Ayin - artesian well spring flowing/living waters. It is also translated as that source of that which is seen with the eye. From the Ugaritic "yn" - 'to behold'. Often, lost in translation is the singular word 'eye', which also fails to convey the inward expression. In Jeremiah 5:21, for example, the Hebrew links the "eyes" to expression and inclinations of "the heart".

Thus, Yeshua is YHVeH's Crimson Hook which flows like a stream of living waters...in other words, the very name Yeshua, prophesied in the Tanach...speaks of the coming Cross and of G-D shedding his eternal blood upon it.

He upon whom the Universe hangs and is upheld by, is prophesied to hang upon the Cross...and in turn, become both the atonement and the sanctuary of all who trust into Him.



Yesha" and "Yasha" appear some 233 times in addition to "yeshua" as "salvation deliverance" in the OT. Most of my greatest critics admit being oblivious to researching the texts themselves or of the particulars of the Hebrew or Greek.

The point I am making with all this, is that Christ is readily available to be seen in the OT to the Hebrew reader and speaker. The less brainwashed they are on how NOT to read and NOT to think a certain way, the more easily they see what the text says, rather than through the prism of bias they insert into the text.

That brainwashing, says Paul in (2 Corinthians 3) is as a veil upon the mind and heart. When the veil is taken away, and one can read in liberty, Messhiach is more readily revealed as layer upon layer is easily removed, and the light of the post-Torah passages of the Tanakh shines forth. As a review of many of my threads show, Christ is everywhere in OT prophecy, from Genesis 1:1 to Malachi.

I bring "basar", or the "good news", that "salvation is of the Jews as a people, NOT of their rabbis". This last sentence, I believe, is consistent with the message from the Tanakh / Old Testament.

It is through the people of the Jews that Messhiach is come, and it will be "they" who will be as if first citizens, as if having an additional crown more than can be obtained by we gentiles. It is not an exclusion status...it is simply a reward "by means of grace of having been born via certain parents" status. "Slightly greater" in status, but NOT "better."

Jewish people in modern Judaism have it reversed, as if "salvation deliverance were from the rabbis, and either allowed or denied access at the rabbinic whim, salvation deliverance being dispensed like dew from Heaven from the rabbis to their own club...those being the same ethnic people as they."

The non-Hebrew nations or "gentiles" have repeated the same error of exclusivity right back at Judaism. Both sides need to admit error. We gentiles often readily admit ours, but arrogance and lofty pride forbids rabbins from theirs, and create tension.

We need to get back to the joying in the basar, the euaggelizo, the proclaiming of the good news of salvation, deliverance, and of Yeshua...the hope of even the ancient Patriarch Jacob -- as he spake by the Holy Spirit -- as he prophesied over his progeny.

Our 10 Accountability Scrolls at the Last Judgment

At the Resurrection of life (for us believers, the Rapture), there are just as many scrolls as there are for the unbelievers in the Resurrection of the damned.

For the believer, the blood of the Lamb is applied to all the scrolls after a legal sense. That means, the bad is negated, and not held against us for judgement...but there is a loss of reward.

For the unbeliever, there is no atonement, and the measure of suffering varies based on what the balance of the scrolls reveal. For the believer, there are ascensions and declensions in reward.

From a legal standpoint, we must sometimes ask ourselves, if G-D were to conduct Court against mankind, what evidences and books would he need? And as we read the Scriptures we must ask, " But what are those scrolls that the Bible indicates out right or subtlely that we should be looking for?" I have 10 for your Bible Study and consideration. these are:

1) The scroll of every idle word you speak or have ever spoken (Matthew 12:36-37).

2) The scroll of every deed you have ever done. (Romans 2:5-6).

3)The Scroll of Eternal life (Exodus 32:32-33, Revelation 3:5).
a) also called the LAMB's Book of Life (Revelation 21:27)
b) also called a Book of Purchase (Jeremiah 32:12)

4) G-D's Holy Word - The Bible (from the Greek word for book) / The Scroll or Book of the Covenant (Exodus 24:7)

5) The Scroll of Remembrance - how often we think and talk about G-D. (Malachi 3:16).

6) The Scroll of Tears - every tear you have cried is recorded. (Psalm 56:8)

7) The Scroll of your DNA/RNA, etc...of you physically. (Psalm 139:16)

8) The Scroll of the Wars of HASHEM --
a) dealing with individuals (Matthew 17:14-21, for example...miracles, or visitations, etc.).
b) dealing with whole peoples (Numbers 21:14-15, Matthew 12:40-41).

9) The Transcripts from what occurs before the Bar of G-D
(e.g., Job chapters 1&2, 2 Chronicles 18:18-21, Jude 9, Zechariah 3:1-20)

10) The Scroll of Memorials -- A Name, special place of honor or remembrance (e.g., Exodus 17:14; Isaiah 56:5; Revelation 2:17 & 3:12).

A rethinking of Cyrus/Koresh in Isaiah 45:1

"So says HASHEM to His Messhiach, to KORESH, whom I have seized by his right hand to subdue before him nations -- yes, the loins of kings I will open, to open before him two-leaved doors, and the gates not shall be shut." (Isaiah 45:1)

The name Koresh is translated as Cyrus in Isaiah 45:1.

In Ezra 1:1 Koresh is identified as the Prince of Persia.

In Daniel 10:13, we have Gabriel informing Daniel of his troubles in dealing with the ruler (the Sar) of Persia for 21 days until Michael intervened.

In Ezekiel 28, we see two rulers in Tyre: the earthly "nagid" or "commander" (its known king); and the real "melek" or "king" of it, an invisible one, who was in Eden as the anointed cherub / living Creature (i.e. 5th Seraphim, cast out, so that there are now only 4 about G-D's Throne).


The spelling of the name of "Koresh" in the Hebrew is best sen as coming from two two-word roots: Kaf-Vav (meaning "pierced") and Rosh-Shin (meaning "head").

So what is the meaning behind a Messiah or Anointed One that is called "the Pierced Head"?

We have two primary "pierced heads" in Scripture: the first is that of the serpent, whose head is crushed/pierced in the prophecy of Genesis 3:15...and though called a Leviathan in Isiah, it is disqualified because its piercing is related to in Genesis 3:15 as being crushed by the heel of the Messiah.

The second pierced head in Scripture, closely related in type to this prophecy of Isa. 45:1 is Jesus, when the crown of very long thorns pierced the skin and flesh of His head (John 19:2,5).

In Gematria, Koresh is 526in value, and that value of 526 is synonymous to "kecilooth" - which is viewed as "foolishness" by some, but also means "fatness", such as what is a pleasing aroma to the L-RD at the Temple Altar. Koresh is also equal to "mopheth", which is defined as "a sign of wonder, a miracle"...because it is the manifestation of the revelation of (526 again, as) "mashqoph" - the meaning of why the blood of Pesach is applied to "the upper door post or lintel".

In the serpent type, after the anointed cherub (Isaiah 14:12-19, Ezekiel 28:14) the fallen or anti-type of the true Messiah...we have the action using this world system to fulfill Isaiah 45:2,
"I will go before thee, and make the crooked place straight:
I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron."


The anti-type in Ezekiel 21:12 (who begins the holocaust from the Temple in Jerusalem in accordance with Daniel 9:27) and Zechariah 11:2 (speaking of the territory of Dan) uses the Hilphil Imperative Mood, where word for "shining" (one) is translated as a verb, one who is howling and crying out -- the wailing and gnashing of teeth of the anointed cherub (and he whom he will one day inhabit, according to John's Apocalypse).

In the true type, of the Heavenly Messhiach, Isaiah 45:2 -"I will go before thee, and make the crooked place straight...": is taken in the context of Isaiah 40:3 as preached by John the Baptist -
"The voice of him that crieth in the Wilderness,
'Prepare ye the Way of the L-RD!
Make straight in the desert a Mecillah
[a high and exalted embankment] for our G-D!"

This is the whole purpose of (Numbers) Bamidbar, and the "Wilderness" years...to teach us of this "higher way" and "higher concept" of HASHEM (Isaiah 55:8-9, 54:11-13).



Isolating Cyrus with the help of history with Scripture

The main expulsion occurs in 586 B.C. Zechariah was thought to have his ministry from 520-475 B.C., or thereabout. In Zechariah 1:12, the "Angel of HASHEM" speaks of another HASHEM of Hosts who has had indignation against Jerusalem for these 70 years. So if Zechariah was written in, say, 516 B.C., wouldn't this fit for a Second 70 year prophecy?

Zechariah writes that he begins his ministry in the second year of Darius in Zechariah 1:7. But which Darius was he? The Darius {darayavahush in the Persian, loosely meaning the "King known as 'the One'"} is actually a designation for "emperor".

Now if we argue that Gubaru was really a Darius in name and in training (cf. Daniel 5:31 with Daniel 6:1), the governor of city-province of Babylon, we might find that this Darius had a son who became he who later ruled in 521 B.C. is the son of Hystapses (cf. the Aramaic "hypatous", a type of "grandee" or city official). Thus, the son of the Governor of Babylon would succeed Cyrus, as it were.

We know best a man named as Spantadata who began his rule sometime about 521 B.C., making 519 B.C. his second year. This Darius had the first part of the Behistun inscription read as - "I (am) Darius the King, the Great King of Kings, King of Peria, and King of all nations...."

But Daniel lists OUR "Darius" in Daniel 9:1, the son of Ahasuerus, as Cyrus in the very next chapter (Daniel 10:1).

Ahasuerus is the Hebrew renaming of the Persian Khshayarsha. The Hebraicization is likened to Ach-Shoresh, or "brother root".

We see such a play on words with Ra-Amesses (Bad Amesses the person / "On" or "Avaris" for the city) and Pothim (many secret chambers/openings) instead of Pithom for the description of Heliopolis in Exodus 1, for example.

So if this is the case, the father of Cyrus can be likened to Ramesses I as Ahasuerus I, and Xerxes some 50 years later (486 - 465 B.C., who married Esther in ca. 479 B.C.) would be de facto Ahasuerus II. Meanwhile, Cyrus is the real Darius I...the governor of Babylon, Gubarau, Darius II (the Lesser)...and Spantadata is really Darius III (the Great), who invaded Egypt.

In retrospect, this would make Zechariah 1 as coming about in 537 or 535, depending on which year you would argue for Cyrus triumphal entry into Babylon on October 29th in.

The issue that Rashi raises deals with "the Babylonian Chronicle" as once addressed by Oxford University's R. Campbell Thompson, in which Nebuchadnezzar launches his conquest of Mi-Sir {Egypt} in the 37th year of his reign. I believe the actual ancient text is still retained by the British Museum.

So when review the Biblical Testimony, and come to the verse:
"And this whole land shall be a desolation, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the King of Babylon 70 years." (Jeremiah 25:11)

History shows these nations being subjected from about 605 -535 B.C.

605 was the year Judah was invaded, and historians have identified this as through the ascension of Nebuchadnezzar in September with the clashing in Daniel 1:1 and Jeremiah 46:2 calculating of Jehoiakim"s year.

Jeremiah 29:10
"That after 70 years be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and establish My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place."

Cyrus' 4th year of rule of Babylon in History is found to be in 535 B.C.

This same 70th year was recognized and recorded by the Greeks, and that they began an alteration of their 10 month calendar to the solar calendar by Cyrus' royal decree...the dabar that went forth...so that calculations of the Greek history changes formula upon or about this very same year.

We also find that the Hebrew word "dabar", from this period, is closely related to the Akkadian "dabaru" which means "to push back". As dalet - beth - rosh, we can also read the Hebrew as "pestilence" (deber) or as "pasture" (dober).

In regard to the essential word "establish" in Jer. 29:10, the root word is best translated "to make arise, to stand (as standing grain)", or to this effect. This goes back to making the land of Judah and city of Jerusalem as that of a good pasture that is once again made to stand as an attractive field of wheat to the starving soul. In other words, the TWO PERIODS OF 70 YEARS in your contention, ARE NOT SEPARABLE IN SCRIPTURE...they are the same 70 years (605-535 B.C.).

As for "Koresh" in Isaiah 45:1, we must look next to Isaiah 45:13
"I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts."
and ask, with the consideration of all the above, who set captive Israel free, and aided the building of the city of Jerusalem. Darius I and Darius II, who were both technically "emperors" or a "Cyrus".

In the dual prophecy, of He who eternally sets free, without money, without price...and will build Jerusalem in the end of days, 3 1/2 years after the Day of His Wrath (day 1290-1291 of the Tribulation Period), this is Jesus / Yeshua.

When has Cyrus ever been "raised up in Righteousness" and "directed in all the ways of HASHEM' as according to the prophetical requirement of Isaiah 45:13? He hasn't. Hence, Christ must fulfill a dual fulfillment in the end of days to the short term fulfillment seen in the days of Nehemiah and Ezra.
