What Did Abel Offer Adonai?

שמע ישראל ה 'הוא האלוהים שלנו הוא אחד Sh'ma Yisrael Adonai Elohaynu Adonai Echad Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One. What Did Abel Offer To Elohiym? (also posted HERE) According to Torah the original diet for both humans and animals was vegetarian: Genesis 1:29 And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed - to you it shall be for food; 1:30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so. 1:31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.... This seems clear enough. Both humans and animals were created as vegetarians (and arguably as vegans). This state lasted until Noach and his family left the ark after the great flood as I discuss elsewhere. So, if humans and animals lived in peace and shared a common diet what are we to make of the following? What did Abel offer to Adonai that was more pleasing than Cain's vegitable based offering? Here's the text: Genesis 4:1 And the man [Adam] knew Eve his wife; and she conceived and bore Cain, and said: 'I have gotten a man with the help of Adonai.' 4:2 And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Adonai. 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Adonai had respect unto Abel and to his offering; 4:5 but unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 4:6 And Adonai said unto Cain: 'Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 4:7 If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee is its desire, but thou mayest rule over it.' 4:8 And Cain spoke unto Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 4:9 And Adonai said unto Cain: 'Where is Abel thy brother?' And he said: 'I know not; am I my brother's keeper?' 4:10 And He said: 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground. 4:11 And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. First, the text says that Cain was a farmer, he grew food. Abel tended the sheep. It has been assumed by many that Abel raised and slaughtered the sheep for food, however that would contridict the command to be vegetarian. The text merely says that he tended sheep. At this early period three necessities predominated life: food, shelter and clothing. For the brothers to both be involved in food production would be redundant. The clear teaching here, especially considering the dietary command, is that Cain grew food for the family while Abel tended sheep for their coats and not for their meat. The most common disagreement with this view is verse four: And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof..... The argument being that Cain produced the dietary fat (and hence presumably meat). Is this what is being taught here? The Hebrew clarifies this misunderstanding: min cheleb("the fat") refers to the richest or choice part a thing, not to the literal fat (depending on the context). We still use this term in that same way: "the fat of land" means the best. There was a critical difference between the offering of Cain and that of Abel. Let's re-read the material: 4:3: ...Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Adonai. 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.... [i.e. he did the same but Abel brought forth the very best he had]. While Abel offered the best he had (the min cheleb) Cain, it appears, did not. His sacrifice was not pleasing to Elohiym because Cain did not intetionally give his best. This understanding is affirmed as Elohiym says: 4:7 If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up?... Cain did not offer his best and so Elohiym did not accept his offering. To serve HaShem we must do so from the heart, offering our very best: Isaiah 29:13 And Adonai said: Forasmuch as this people draw near, and with their mouth and with their lips do honour Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear of Me is a commandment of men learned by rote; HaShem wants our best with love. I believe in the sun, Even when it is not shining; I believe in love, Even when not feeling it; I believe in God, Even when He is silent. - World War II Inspiration in a Cologne Hiding Place AllFaith.com Judaism Home Page

Muhammad Movie

Freedom of Speech
and Freedom of Press
Matters!

Here's The Movie That Has the Muslim World So Furious... Again...

We Americans Will NOT Go Quietly Into Ummah Enslavement!!!

Muslim Sheik Barry Soetoro/Obama CAN NOT outlaw the denigration of Religious or Political Speech and Opinion (Our First Amendment Rights!) If WE The People Refuse to Comply! STAND!

We Say: Hell No!

We Stand On The First Ammendment!
If Islam Wants Our Respect They Must Earn It!
And Enter The 21st Century! 

Sam Bacile Muhammad Movie FULL HD - Innocence of Muslims

This is the Muhammad Movie by Sam Becile that some claim caused a bunch of savage Muslims to kill United States ambassador, J Christopher Stevens and others.
The film claims Islam is a lie and that Muhammad was a pedophile and a homosexual. It appears the 9-11-2012 attacks in Libya and Egypt were planned well in advanced.

This film is offense, poorly directed and acted and the sound quality is lacking, as is the story of Muhammad. It is however a sign of the times as people like Sam Becile seek to awaken the sleeping masses. Its worth a watch.
I think the real reason why Islam is so furious about this movie, the Danish cartoons etc. is not the reason they give. I think its because when Imam Madhi makes his public presence they don't want people denying him based on appearances. He is supposed to look exactly like Muhammad. If people knew what Muhammad looked like pulling this off would be much harder.

Anyway... here we go again! The Danish cartoons:

Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve Adonai, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served Beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live.

But as for me and my house, we will serve Adonai.

Its time to decide America and the EU!

Do you wanna be enslaved by Islam or by the New World Order

OR do you want to live as free men and women?

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,

to stand.

Understanding Babylon the Great

שמע ישראל ה 'הוא האלוהים שלנו הוא אחד

Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohaynu Adonai Echad
"Hear Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One"

Understanding Babylon the Great By Rabbi Yochanan Levine © 3.15.08 (Last updated 09.11.2012) Also posted HERE
(image from the estate of Dr. Charles Larkin) B"H

KJV: Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

She Has a Name Written:

Who is this mystery woman who wields such awesome power over the human race? As usual the prophets are clear when read without preconception. We need only understand what they have revealed. For the sake of clarity I will identity this prophetic "woman" at the outset rather than gradually build my case and identify her later:

Babylon the Great does not exist yet. She will be the ultimate expression of ancient Babylonian religion. She will be the culmination of the globalist system that has thrived in various forms for thousands of years. Some of what follows will probably seem incredulous. If you consider this information with an open mind and an open Bible the truth of it should become clear.

It is inaccurate to say that "Babylon the Great" references any existing religious or political system. Her ancient foundational heresies exist already to be sure, they always have. These heresies can be seen within virtually every religious, spiritual and political system on Earth. "Babylon the Great" refers to a specific religious structure that will only exist during the final seven years of the Olam Hazeh (the present age). As we discuss her development from ancient to modern and future times this should be kept firmly in mind.
The prophets reveal that Babylon the Great will be established on the visible foundation of the religious community established by Emperor Constantine and his globalist bishops. That structure is known as the Catholic ("Universal") Church (Eastern and Roman). This is the "Mother Church" located among Rome's famed Seven Hills (Revelation 17:9). Babylon the Great includes the "daughter" organizations "Mother" has spawned, including those that emerged through Anglicanism, Protestantism and most of the Christian heterodoxies (Revelations 17:5). Babylon the Great will also be an interfaith system incorporating all other religions and philosophies that are willing to embrace her lord and master: the coming global dictator known by diverse names and titles, the Rex Mundi and Antichrist. Virtually everyone on earth from all religions and no religions will accept him as the Anointed One according to their own terms. Babylon the Great will be the first truly global religion. It will be whatever the worshipper desires it to be within the confines of its Nicolaitan dogma. It's master will be the False Prophet and he will point them all to the worship of Rex Mundi as God incarnate.
This same heretical anti-biblical religious system polluted Messianic Judaism very early in its history as the Navi John and others reported.

KJV: Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars...
2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate....
2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan...
2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.

Rav John here refers to this heresy of mixing biblical Truth with Pagan religion as the Nicolaitan heresy. Those who embrace these mixed teachings he regards as the "Synagogue of Satan." This is because such people, while pretending to be Jews, while claiming to practice God's revealed religion, are not. Such people "say they are Jews but are not" (2:9).
The religion practiced by Rebbe Y'shua, Judaism, is the one true religion given by God. His talmidim (learners/disciples) are rightly referred to as Messianic Jews (be aware that most people using this term are actually Christians, not Jews (Revelation 2:9, 3:9). As the final seven years of the age dawns everyone on earth will have to make their decision for or against Judaism and HaShem's Moshiach. This will be done one by one by those who hear the voice of haMoshiach (Revelation 3:20). So choose YOU this day with whom you will align (Joshua 24:15).

Nicene Christianity

Her Name: MYSTERY

The Nicene Christian religion is the result of 1600 years of ecumenical and political development. It was developed by Nicolaitan universalist ("catholic") counsels that blended biblical religion with the essential Pagan beliefs of ancient Babylon and subsequent cultures as practiced throughout the Roman Empire. Over the years this religion has become ever more removed from the Jewish roots of Rebbe Y'shua. Since the very beginning of the Nicolaitan heresies sincere Believers in HaShem and His Son have been led astray by the false doctrines promulgated by these usurpers.
Please understand that we are not referring to the individual Nicene Christians here, but to the Babylonian paradigm that has led so many sincere people to accept biblical untruths. HaShem looks at the heart not at the sign hanging over our houses of worship. Nonetheless correct biblical doctrine is very important (Matthew 15:9).

Origins of the Babylonian Mysteries

Babylon the Great like Nicene Christianity speaks of great mysteries. When seeking to understand the more heretical doctrines her priests generally reply that it is a "Mystery of the Faith" that must simply be accepted. Indeed her claims to authority are based on her claimed possession of sacred mysteries. In this the Mother Church is telling the truth! The source of her knowledge is found in the ancient mysteries of Babylon, not in the Bible nor the religion it reveals (Judaism). The source of these mysteries is the Church's unquestionable Magisterium. Even non-Catholic Nicene Christians generally embrace this mysteries dogmatically. Questioning them tends to result is blanket condemnations and threat of eternal punishment.
To glimpse the source of these mysteries we must return to ancient Babel.
The Nephilim/Rapha/Mer People (Genesis 6:4, Numbers 13:33, Deuteronomy 2:11, Joshua 12:4 etc.: translated as "giants" in the KJV) established the ancient Babylonian religion with its political power structures and greater paradigms at the famed Tower of Babel (Genesis 10:10; 11:9). It was because of these heresies that HaShem confused the languages. The Tower fell but its heresies live on.
From its inception Babel (and subsequent Babylon) has opposed the One True God. That is its nature. That is its function. We should expect nothing less. Babel means confusion and its religion is a confusion of diverse myths and superstitions under the authority of various seers, priests, bishops and so on. It stands in opposition to the true God, His people and their religion.
The original builder of the magnificent city of Babel (Babylon) is debated. Some say it was built by Queen Semiramis herself, the celebrated daughter of the god Oannes and his consort, the goddess Atargatis. Semiramis was accepted as an incarnate deity (Pagans love incarnating their gods!) and wife of King Ninus. She was "the Power behind the throne."
Others believe the city was built by King Ninus (who was fooled into having the first husband of Semiramis murdered in order to marry her). In either case, Queen Semiramis convinced King Ninus to make her regent of the kingdom for a single day. He did, and that day Semiramis killed him and became permanent ruler Babylon as "Queen Mother" and patron of the famed Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Deception, half truth and murder is the way of the Nicolaitan heresies!
A growing number of scholars are now suggesting that the city was more likely built by Belus (said to be the physical incarnation of the god Bel Marduk: builder of the famous ziggurat). Bel Marduk of course was the Babylonian god of war. Pagans often like their leaders to be incarnations of their gods even as Catholics deify "Jesus." The God of the Bible however does not incarnate. This debate is fascinating, but we will move on.
The point here is to note a few of the similarities between Babylonian religion and that of the now dawning globalist religion that will become Babylon the Great.

The Deities of Babylon

Here's a partial list of the Babylonian gods. Notice the similarities that exist between the various religions then and now and the foretold claims of Rex Mundi:

• An or Anu - the god of Heaven
• Enlil - The god of the air and storms. He normally was portrayed in human form, but also appears as a snake to the human eye
• Enki - The god of water and the fertile earth
• Ki - The mother-goddess representing the earth
• Ashur - Main god of Assyria (sky god)
• Ninlil or Nillina - The goddess of air (possibly the south wind) and wife of Enlil
• Inanna - The goddess of love and war
• Ea - The god of Wisdom
• Oannes: Moon god. Rashi confirmed that Oannes and Dagon are the same god worshiped by the Nephilim (Rapha) hybrid Philistines. Father of Queen Semiramis (Assyrian queen of Babylon)
• Atargatis: Moon goddess, consort of Oannes: Greek Derketo: first known mermaid. Mother of Queen Semiramis
• Marduk - Originally Ea’s son and god of light. He was the main god of Babylon and the sender of the Babylonian king
• Nanna (Hubal-Sin) - The god of the moon now worshiped as the Allah (god) of Islam
• Utu or Shamash - The god of the sun, as well as god of justice
• Ninurta - a solar deity

Nimrod: Mighty Hunter in Opposition to HaShem

At Babel the original "Antichrist," Nimrod, ruled the known world "in opposition to HaShem" (Genesis 10:8,9). Nimrod was a foreshadowing of the yet coming global dictator. Just as the religion of Babel (Babylon) empowered Nimrod, so too Babylon the Great will empower the coming global despot called !Antichrist, Little Horn, Rex Mundi, etc.
The Tower or Ziggurat of Babel was used to study the stars and worship the heavenly hosts who had parented their leaders, the Nephilim/Rapha/Mer People (Genesis 5:4 etc). Through worship of the Ba'als (the "Masters" or demigods) the foundations of Babylonian religion were revealed to them by Heylel, the celestial leader of the challenge to HaShem's righteousness. This dark wisdom passed from generation to generation through many different religious and cultural devices and throughout the Pagan world. The bloodline and authority of the Nephilim continues. Their religion is the Nicolaitan heresy that Navi Yochanan (John) warned had infiltrated the Way Movement of Rebbe Y'shua by the end of the first century CE.

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon

As time continued its flow this anti-Torah globalist paradigm continued to thrive among the Ba'al worshipers and on into the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. His Babylonian empire was second to none. It was the first of the four historic empires referenced by Prophet Daniel in his second chapter. By the hand of King Nebuchadnezzar and his forces the Southern Kingdom of Judah fell as described in the Tanakh. Under his assault the "Times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24) began and continues as the Diaspora.
The Kingdom of Judah fell circa 3174/3175 HH (587/586 B.C.E.) and Israel was never again an independent nation until 1948 C.E. (not considering the brief semi-independence of the Hasmonean Empire). During the first century Judea was a Roman province and not independent. The rebirth of Israel in 1948 was among the most important events in human history. Once again Israel took center stage in world affairs.
Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon excelled in the Mystery religions that were born at the Tower of Babel. This core and continuing belief system is described in the Book of Revelation as the Nicolaitan Heresy (2:6, 15), as the synagogue of Satan (2:9) and as the teachings of "that woman Jezebel" (2:20). This global system has been incorporated into many different religious and political forms over the years but it core dogmas has never changed: Destroy Israel and oppose HaShem.
One of the great strengths of Babylonian religion is its inclusiveness and willingness to incorporate all other religions into itself. This system has always been global-control minded and driven by power. In the name of Interfaith dialogue the religions are merged together in a New Age soup that, in the end, is impotent and without any belief whatsoever.

Nicean Christianity

The Universal ("Catholic") Church was established through Constantine's Nicean Counsels (circa 325 CE) by people with these same Nicolaitan beliefs and globalist agendas. Among these neo- Babylonians was Nicholas of Myra (who is honored as Old Saint Nick in the Christianized Saturnalia festival called the Christ Mass or Christmas).
NO Christian holiday has a biblical basis. They all arise from Paganism without exception. The Vatican has always been insistent on removing all elements of Judaism and biblical doctrine from their religion. Heylel/Lucius knows his enemies. The Nicolaitans even changed the name of Y'shua to downplay his Jewishness. They outlawed "Judaizing" (i.e. understanding biblical truth through Jewish culture and history) and even the Sabbath! They worship on the day of Sol Invictus, the Sun god worshipped by Emperor Constantine! And yet 'they claim to be Jews,' they are not!
Like the Mother, the daughter denominations that emerged from the Vatican continue to carry the seed of these same Babylonian heresies (for instance, the deification of "Jesus," celebrations such as Christmas, Easter (Ostara) and Lent, the use of the Pagan cross symbol (Y'shua died on a stauros or stake, not a cross according to the Bible), they embrace doctrine of Hades (Hell), the use of halos (ancient solar and lunar icons of Constantine's god Sol Invictus) in artwork, the worship of statues and the rosary, belief in the transubstantiation of "the Host," the priestly collars (also from the sun god Sol Invictus: light of the god, and many other Pagan traditions).
As the coming global dictator arises, the Vatican will unite the religions of the world into Babylon the Great and all religions will proclaim the coming global dictator to be their Messiah or Savior, as the last best hope for suffering humanity. All who refuse to bow to him will meet the full wrath of the Holy Inquisition (now known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) and the Jesuit Order, as well as the military might of the Global Union. Note that prior to becoming Pope Benedict XVI former Hitler Youth member Joseph Ratzinger was Cardinal-Prefect of this "Holy Order." Make no mistake about it, the Inquisition lives on and will be restored to its medieval authority and more under the reign of Rex Mundi!
As foretold at Revelation 3:14-19, today the bulk of Nicene Christianity has become "lukewarm" and terminally contaminated by Secular Humanism. Most Christians are non-observant and lacking in any meaningful faith or biblical knowledge. While Catholic membership and conversion is shrinking as never before, the Vatican hierarchy is becoming ever more influential in world politics and finances.
This entire system is now being "vomited out" (Revelation 3:16) by haMoshiach in preparation for the rise of Babylon the Great and later Earth's liberation (Genesis 12:3).
These are "they who say are the Jews but they are not" (Revelation 2:9).
In the name of Rebbe Y'shua these have abandoned biblical Judaism and embraced Pagan compromises and hybrid traditions. Through them Babylon the Great and its False Prophet will soon arise.

Babylonian Doctrines of Nicene Christianity

Here's a short sampling of the Nicolaitan doctrines found within Nicene Christianity:

• The Trinity: a very anti-biblical and un-Jewish doctrine that compromises the absolute Oneness of HaShem as repeatedly declared in Scripture (Deuteronomy 6:4). This heresy is common throughout the Pagan religious world and the Nicene Church.
• The Immaculate Conception (of Mary AND her mother): This teaching has absolutely no biblical basis but is a required dogma of all Catholics. Note that this refers to the conception of Mary and her mother, not to Rebbe Y'shua.
• The Doctrine of Original Sin: Augustine developed his famous doctrine of original sin in contradiction to the biblical teaching of Yetzer Tov and Yetzer Ra: i.e. the innate human impulses of good (tov) and bad (ra) that make free will possible (based on the word vayyitzer at Genesis 2:7 due to its double Yods).
• Transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the literal flesh and blood of Jesus: According to the New Testament Rebbe Y'shua frequently spoke in parables. Their is no biblical reason to take this one literally -- Pagan groups often ritually consume their gods and goddesses during ritual meals like the esbats, especially around the time of Ostara (the Vernal Equinox: Easter). Including this anti-biblical rite appealed to many Pagans as the new religion was being established. Rebbe Y'shua was sharing Pesach (Passover) with his students.
  
• The celebration of the Pagan holidays including:
  
  Yule: The Christ Mass or Christmas. It is noteworthy that the ritual decorating of trees like the Tannenbaum (the sacred fir tree) is specifically condemned in the Torah and yet even Christian churches routinely place these forbidden idols in their sanctuaries:
  Jeremiah 10:1-5 "Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
  Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
  For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
  They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
  They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
  Eostar: Easter with its Pagan bunnies and eggs
  Luperaclia: AKA Valentine’s Day, a day for honoring Faunus, god of fertility.
  Carnival (Marde Gras: "Fat Tuesday") and Ash Wednesday
  Beltane: May Day: The feast of St. Joseph the Worker.
  Samhain: All Saints Day or All Hallows' Eve or Hallowe'en.
  Etc.
  The clothing worn by Catholic priests are of Pagan origin as well, the exposed white collar signifies that the words they speak come from Sol Invictus, the Sun god, whom Constantine worshiped until the day he died (for more on this see my study on the IHS symbol.
  Shabbat: Perhaps nowhere is the Roman Pagan usurpation of the Jewish movement of Rebbe Y'shua more evident than in the desecration of the Sabbath. The Ten Commandments twice command the observance of the Sabbath, its proper observance is shown throughout the Bible, and yet the Roman Papacy forbade its observance and demanded that Christians worship on the day of Sol Invictus, Constantine's Sun god. A few Christian sects have returned to Sabbath observance (at least to the degree of holding their main weekly services on the Sabbath), this includes the Seventh Day Adventist and Seventh Day Baptists, but the vast majority of Christians continue to view the biblical Sabbath as a day for yard works, ball games and relaxation and the day of the Sun God as the day (or 45 minutes) for worship services. For more on Shabbat see my studies here or take our free lessons at Yeshiva Beth HaShem.

There are many good books and websites that fully illustrate the Pagan roots of much of Christianity and Christian doctrine so this small overview should suffice. Such Pagan elements are what is being referenced here when Babylon the Great is called the Mother of harlots. She has prostituted the God of Israel in exchange for political power and religious authority. She has turned her back on Israel and following her coming seven year service to Rex Mundi she will severely pay the price for her sins (Genesis 12:1-3; Revelation 12:17). Today the religion that claims to represent the teachings of the "Jewish Messiah" bears precious little similarity to the Judaism he so loved and devoted himself to even unto death.

Her Name: BABYLON THE GREAT

The word "great" in her title is megas. This word indicates rank and the possession of authority, power and influence. It speaks of persons with eminent abilities, virtues and authority. Megas references the powerful things that are esteemed highly for their social significance and prestige. The word indicates some great moment, something of great weight, the importance of a thing highly esteemed for its excellence and glory. A thing is megas or "great" when it is deemed to be most excellent, splendid, glorious, something on a grand scale, that is stately, above the rest. The word references the external form of the sensible appearance of things (or of persons) and thus implies moral and legislative authority to define appropriate limitations and to guide those not so qualified.
This is precisely the role the Church has usurped for itself since the days of Constantine and the Nicean Counsel. Babylon the Great will be the end result of this globalist world view as described by Rebbe Y'shua for Prophet John and delineated within the messages to the Seven Church Ages (Revelation 2 and 3). Of the final period of Church history our Rebbe says:

Rev 3:15: "I know what you are doing: you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other!
16 So, because you are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth!
17 For you keep saying, 'I am rich, I have gotten rich, I don't need a thing!' You don't know that you are the one who is wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked!
18 My advice to you is to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be dressed and not have to be ashamed of your nakedness; and eye salve to rub on your eyes, so that you may see.
19 As for me, I rebuke and discipline everyone I love; so exert yourselves, and turn from your sins!

But as an institution she will never repent! She will lead the world in the worship of the Son of Perdition.
As the religions of the world unite they are vomited out into the Seven Year Tribulation Period where the Whore of Babylon will prostitute herself with the coming global dictator only to find herself utterly abused, abandoned, and disgraced.

Her Name: The Mother of Harlots

Referencing her as the great whore (or porne) speaks to the woman's spiritual "fornications." Spiritual fornication occurs when one 'goes after other gods'. For example:

KJV: Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

A whore sells her/his favors for money, power or fame. Babylon the Great, "this woman Jezebel," (Revelation 2:20) has had illicit relations with the kings of the earth in order to curry their favors. She has taken the reformed Jewish teachings of Rebbe Y'shua and blended them into something quite different in her filthy "cup." Several of the doctrines developed and codified by the Catholic (Universal) Church are fundamentally opposed to the teachings and mitzvot (commandments) of the Written Torah, Tanakh and teachings of Rebbe Y'shua. I discuss many of these elsewhere on this site.
In order to gain acceptance from the widest possible audience for Constantine's New Globalist Religion deals were cut with many of the Pagan religions of Rome that undermined biblical truth. The resulting new doctrines were codified at Nicea and elsewhere and made mandatory for all "Christians." Failure to embrace these new doctrines led to the death of millions of sincere people, both Jews and Pagans.
Babylonian religion has given birth to many daughters who follow in her whorish footsteps. Through the split between the Roman and Eastern Church, the excommunication/leaving of the English (Anglican) communion, the Protestant Reformation and so on, Constantine's whorish Church has produced countless "daughters" and they all cling to the reworked fables of ancient Babylon rather than to the monotheism and glorification of the God of Israel.
The Anglican and Protestant reformers sincerely sought to return "the Church" to its historic biblical roots but by the time these Catholic priests rebelled against the Papacy the Pagan teachings and influences of Babylon, the edited Catholic Bible (that replaced the original Hebrew New Testament), as well as the rampant Anti-Semitism and fears of "Judaizing", had become so thoroughly entrenched within Christian dogma and society that that they failed to restored the Derech HaShem. This failure resulted in innumerable Protestant Church splits and the gradual development of competing sects and heterodoxies that largely emerged from Protestant sources. This religious confusion became so severe that people today understandably scratch their heads and wonder if there is any truth to be realized in Christianity at all! Most Nicene Christians now accept as fact the Secular Humanist teachings of evolution, the origins of the species, relativism and so on. Most now regard much of the Torah as myth! For many their knowledge of Torah consists of a few Bible stories.
These people will make easy converts for the coming Son of Perdition! His surety, his power, charisma and the miracles he will perform will deceive the world entire. Only 144,000 Israelites and a "great multitude of Gentiles" will reject his lies and stand for HaShem.
And lastly,

Her Name: Abominations of the Earth

The Nicolaitan Mother Harlot perverted that which had been delivered to her as pure (the refined Judaism of Torah Teacher Y'shua). Her Pagan priests and bishops mixed the Truth of God with the impurities of the Babylonian paradigm. Arguably the darkest and most horrific period in human history thus far occurred during the years when the Christian Church ruled supreme! Then came the Shoah. But what lies ahead will be worse than these (Matthew 24:21)!

Matthew 24:21 For there will be trouble then worse than there has ever been from the beginning of the world until now, and there will be nothing like it again!
22 Indeed, if the length of this time had not been limited, no one would survive; but for the sake of those who have been chosen [i.e. the Jews], its length will be limited.

The prophecy this study began with continues:

KJV: Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

The "Beast" then is the coming world dictator, the man called Antichrist, Little Horn or Rex Mundi. This coming global despot "was" in that he lived as man of this earth, then he "was not" in that he will be assassinated after committing "the abomination of desolation" in the rebuilt Temple (Matthew 24:15), and then "he will be again" when he rises from the dead in sight of the world for the the final three and a half years as Heylel (Lucifer) incarnate.
Three and a half years after his resurrection from the dead the true Moshiach will confine Heylel to perdition for 1000 years. There he will await the final battle.
When the thousand year Kingdom of Y'shua haMelekh has run its course the "Beast" "will ascend out of the bottomless pit," which is to say that he will be allowed by HaShem and Y'shua haMelekh to return to the earth for the failed conclusion of his rebellion.
The Whore of Babylon will "ride" on the back of the coming global dictator thinking she is manipulating him. The truth will be the opposite however. Rex Mundi will play the harlot for a fool until she is not longer useful to him (Revelation 17:16 ).
That the Harlot will have her seat in Rome is made clear here:

Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth....

Rome of course is world renowned as the City of Seven Hills. Rome of course is also the site of Vatican City, the world's smallest country and headquarters of the Nicolaitan Catholic Church which, like the Islamic Ummah, is both a religion and a recognized political body.

17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Babylon the Great will be a global power overseeing many peoples.

17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

In an effort to restore some of the previous political and spiritual power of the Roman Church, the Church will "make a deal with the Devil" and proclaim the coming global dictator to be the Second Coming of Jesus. Of this service we read:

Revelation 19:20 And the beast [Rex Mundi] was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image....

As long as this relationship benefits the Rex Mundi he will accept it, even allowing the Papacy to appear to "ride" on his back (control him). As I describe elsewhere, the coming global dictator will first appear to be a great humanitarian and world savior, but as the verses above indicate, he will be assassinated and then rise from the dead as the Beast: Heylel incarnate. The coming global dictator will die an evil and hypocritical human being but he will arise as the physical embodiment of Lucifer himself. Then will begin the Great Tribulation, the last three and a half years of human rule and the end of the Times of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24). When this publicly witnessed resurrection happens, the Rex Mundi, Lucifer, the true Bilderberg, Bavarian, Nephilim Master, will turn on the False Prophet and his Church and destroy it utterly.

17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
17:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse [i.e. Y'shua HaMoshiach], and against his army.

This brings us to the return of Y'shua HaMoshiach:

Revelation 19:10 And I [John] fell at his feet to worship him [the angel guiding him]. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Y'shua: worship God: for the testimony of Y'shua is the spirit of prophecy. Worship God: for the testimony of Y'shua is the spirit of prophecy.

Note that redeemed and purified talmidim of Rebbe Y'shua are told to worship God for sending Y'shua ˆaMelekh Y'shua always pointed us to HaShem, the One True God.
Rebbe Y'shua calls to you: "My people, come out of her! so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be infected by her plagues,
for her sins are a sticky mass piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. (Revelation 18:4,5)

Islam, Taqiyya and Act for America

Taqiyya is the Sharia Muslim belief that any form of deception is permissible, even praiseworthy, in the cause of Islam.
Brigitte Gabriel is an example of this principle in her moving testimony of how she fled Islam, came to America, and devoted herself to opposing the rising Ummah... only... its not true.
While I don't know her history, what is true and what is not from her moving testimony, what is clearly true is that she is a major advocate FOR Islam and the Ummah in the US and the West. I've written previously about Brigitte Gabriel's taqiyya organization "Act for America" in the past. A recent begging e-mail from them confirms what I've been saying for years with the following key admission:
"We disagree with Ali’s characterization that ACT! for America is an “anti-Muslim group,” given our support for Muslim leaders and organizations that include people like Dr. Tawfik Hamid, Manda Ervin, and Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. "
And this is precisely the problem with ACT and why many of us will never support them and why all freedom loving people should oppose this organization.

Act! for America is not anti-Muslim. It IS Muslim: Muslim taqiyya.

Knowing firsthand what Ms. Gabriel knows about countries that have fallen to Islam she has to know that they often use the "soft" operatives first to establish their bases.  This is how the Ummah expands. It pushes the taqiyya that Islam is a religion of peace. It says its just the "bad Muslims" that are "radical." "We are good Muslims..." But this is not true! ALL true and devout Muslims support the global Sharia. It is mandated by al Qu'ran and al Hadith that they must! Establishing the global Sharia based caliphate IS the Sunnah (core teaching) of Islam! If one does not support this one is not even true Muslim according to the Muslim scriptures and rulings of the clerics, both Sunni and Shia. Such false Muslim kuffār are killed by the true Muslims. Brigitte Gabriel is well aware of this fact.
Despite this incontrovertible fact, she and her organization supports these allegedly "liberal Muslims" expanding Islam in the US and elsewhere exactly as the Muslim Brotherhood documents retrieved by Interpol in November, 2001 demonstrate and as their very words declare. Ms. Gabriel has to be doing these things intentionally. Those who support her work are helping to advance the cause of Islam. Its just that simple.

ACT! for America says: "The Ummah is fine, we just want the right kind of Muslims."
Islam is seeking a global caliphate and ACT! is supporting them.
Here's a piece I wrote several years ago on 8 reason NOT to become Muslim:


Eight Reasons Not To Become Muslim
John of AllFaith (formerly Muhammad Yahya Saleem)

---

There is much about the deen of Islam and Sufism that I deeply admire. That's why I reverted (I've been a Wahabi and closely associated with the Sufis at various times in the past).
Having said that, the more I learned the more I realized that as a sincere lover of God I could not remain within Islam. Here are eight reasons I suggest you don't either!

First (in no particular order), the history revealed in al Qu'ran (the main Muslim scripture) is not accurate. From the texts it is clear that al Qu'ran was directly plagiarized from the Torah of Moses, from the Tanakh (i.e. the rest of the Hebrew Bible), from the books of the B'rit Hadashah (i.e. the New Testament), from the Zoroastrian Avesta and from the Hindu Vedas.
With regard to the Torah this plagiarism is especially troubling as al Qu'ran takes most of the stories ascribed as occurring between Abraham and Isaac and replaces Isaac with Ishmael, thus undercutting the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity. For instance, that Abraham offered Ishmael in sacrifice rather than Isaac etc. By doing this Muhammad sought to replace/steal the sacred literature of one people (the Zoroastrians, Jews and Christians) as his own. Based on this plagiarism Muhammad instructs Muslims to kill the Jews and Christians who refuse to accept Islam. No other religion has ever done this to this degree. Christians use/accept the Hebrew scriptures but do not plagiarize nor alter them.
Second. As a northern Arab Muhammad was probably a physical descendant of Abraham and Ishmael however there is no way Islam was the religion of Abraham nor of Ishmael. The god of the Muslims before Muhammad was the ba'al Hubal-Sin, the master (ba'al) of the Moon. This is why the crescent moon is so important in Islamic iconography. We the see this ancient religion throughout Islamic teaching.
As Islam admits, before Muhammad the Arabs worshiped 360 different gods. Chief among these was the Canaanite Moon god. Allah is not a Hebrew word, let alone the name of the God of Abraham. The name Allah simply means "the-god" in Arabic, akin to the Hebrew word el (power). It does not refer to the Named God of Abraham (HaShem haGadol) but to the Moon god known as Al-ilah because he was the chief of the Arab pantheon of gods and goddesses. Based on conversations with Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus and Christians the warlord Muhammad wanted a "One God" to rally his people around for war in order to conquer the planet militarily.
As Muhammad sought to unify the 360 gods under his one god with him as prophet, he was violently rejected by his fellow Pagans. Muhammad then fled to Medina, raised an army, and then returned to Mecca giving the people a choice: Accept him as the Final Messenger of the one Allah or die.
Practically every Muslim shrine in the world still includes an image of the crescent moon of Al-ilah their god. Islam is NOT an Abrahamic religion, it is Ba'al worship.
With the sword warlord Muhammad and his armies began the religion of Islam and by the sword they spread it, murdering all who refuse to embrace the deen as occasion permits. They also destroyed countless ancient shrines throughout their conquests of India and other places. That this continues today is evident from the tragic destruction of the ancient Buddhas of Bamyan in 2003. As Islam is established it destroys all other cultures and historic treasures it encounters. It is true that the Northern Arabs are the descendants of Ishmael. Beyond that, its all based on deliberate falsehoods (which of course most modern Muslims do not know and will adamantly deny).
Allah: The Pagan Moon God
Third. Unlike other religions Islam is more than "just a religion." It is an entire social system aimed at global conquest and enslavement. The deen or religion of Islam is beautiful, spiritual, devout and moving... however there is much more to Islam than the deen. Islam is also, equally, the ummah (political system) and sharia (legal system). ALL Muslims are required by al Qu'ran, al Hadith (the stories of the past times of Muhammad -- accepted by the Sunni as equal to al Qu'ran), etc to completely submit ("islam") to all the branches of Islam. To reject one of these is to reject all according to Islamic authorities.
Fourth. The Ummah of Islam is commanded in al Qu'ran and other Muslims sources to work toward establishing a global caliphate (a world Muslim government based on strict observance of sharia law). Last time they tried to do this was shortly after the death of Muhammad (June 8, 632 CE). This led to the attempted destruction of all religions other than Islam beginning with the Jews, Hindus and Christians.
On August 26, 636 Byzantine fell before the Muslim armies at the battle of Yarmouk and all of Syria was conquered to the Taurus. To those who were paying attention it was obvious that the followers of Muhammad intended to fulfill his dream of a global Muslim Caliphate under Imam Madhi. We read::

The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: "Even if the entire duration of the world's existence has already been exhausted and only one day is left [before the day of judgment], Allah will expand that day to such a length of time, as to accommodate the kingdom of a person from my Ahlul-Bayt who will be called by my name [i.e. Imam Madhi]. He will fill out the earth with peace and justice as it will have been full of injustice and tyranny (by then)."

Sahih al-Tirmidhi, v2, p86, v9, pp 74-75 Sunan Abu Dawud, v2, p7

Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, v1, pp 84,376; V3, p63

In February 637, the Persian army was devastated at Qadasiya, just south of Hira. All of Iraq was occupied by the armies of the Muslim Ummah, including Ctesiphon, its capital (just south of Baghdad).
In 640 Egypt was occupied by the Islamic Ummah; that same year the magnificent Persian Empire ceased to exist. In what remained of the Roman Christian Empire the Church was divided into two main bodies. The Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church was centered in Constantinople (now Istanbul in northwest Turkey), and the Roman Orthodox Catholic Church, remained centered in various villages having lost Rome. The Ummah during this period was threatening the very existence of the Church and culture, both east and west, and all other religions and cultures as well.
Between 661 and 750 CE the armies of the Islamic Ummah conquered a large portion of the known world, mainly China was excepted. Determined that Allah's Shariah (laws) were to be observed everywhere on earth, the forces of Islam flowed into Europe in torrents with seemingly unstoppable force and it appeared that the global Muslim Caliphate was all but certain.
But the expansion of the religion-based kingdom of Mohammed Mustafa was finally halted in 732 at Tours in central France by the "stout hearted army of Franks' and their leader Charles Martel" (grandfather of Charlemagne) and driven back from the bulk of the Europa.
Imam Madhi had not yet come.
Muslims today are convinced that his coming is now imminent and they are again seeking to establish the global caliphate nightmare over which their prophecies say he and Isa (i.e. Y'shua/Jesus) will rule.
This is established history.
ALL Muslims are obligated to support this move and any who refuses can be (and often are) legally executed under sharia. To become a Muslim one must submit to and support this system global enslavement.
Fifth. Many of the required and enforced Sharia laws are absolutely barbaric. To see what the proper implementation of Sharia looks like look to the Taliban in Afghanistan prior to 9-11. They were following the teachings of Islam correctly. They are the illustration of what a global caliphate would look like if successful. They are not "Islamic extremists" they were merely obedient Muslims. There is no such thing as "moderate" or "liberal" Islam! One either submits fully to Allah or one does not. If one does, one will look like the Taliban, Bin Laden etc. This includes the public executions of Muslims and non-Muslims alike who fail to submit ("islam") completely to Sharia, to women who allow their ankles to be seen in public, who leave their homes for any reason without a male family member escort, who wear any make up, who speak with a male not their blood relative, who are charged with the "evil eye," with committing or "considering" committing adultery, or fornication, or homosexuality, who are accused of "liberalism," of "feminism," of committing "blasphemy," of holding "Zionist thoughts," of having "Western attitudes"... and whoever leaves Islam or even considers leaving Islam, etc. etc.
Sixth. Anything not specifically approved by Islam is illegal and can result in beatings or a death sentence.
Seventh. Women who marry Muslims in the West and later wish to divorce them for whatever reason frequently discover their husband and children are missing. By the the time the 48 hour waiting period for reporting missing persons passes countless of these children have already arrived in a Muslim country that refuses to send them back, never to be heard from again. Usually they just 'vanish" forever or show up in a few years in Islamic combat fatigues.
Eighth. Under Islam husbands are the unquestioned and unquestionable heads of the house, lord of the wife and master of the children (whether his or his wife's from before the marriage). Mothers serve their children under the father's absolute direction, consent and authority. Questioning this authority allows the husband to beat or even kill the wife at his discretion (usually they get the consent of their imam before killing them but this is not required by Sharia and is usually easily attained). Islam not only allows men to beat their wives, it encourages it as a proper way to "keep them in line" and to "beat Shaitan/demons out of them" as women are prone to demonic possession and to being led astray. No Islamic court would ever side with a woman against her husband in any case.
These are just a few of the reasons I suggest people not convert to Islam and indeed to stand against it if they cherish liberty.

Hope this clarifies my position and helps someone not to make this dreadful mistake.

So You Wanna Be A Nanach...

JewToo.org: We Will, We Will... Nanach!
שמע ישראל ה 'הוא האלוהים שלנו הוא אחד  Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohaynu Adonai Echad
"Hear Israel,Adonai is our God, Adonai is One"

---

So You Wanna Be A Nanach? Also posted on my website! B"H
Lots of us aren't Orthodox, some aren't even Jews... but we wanna be Nanachs too!
According to the Nanachs Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meumanis the Universal Song of Redemption.
Here's what Rabbi Israel (Saba) said about Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MayUman

1. Simply by reciting the name of our leader Rabbi Nachman, just as it signed in the signature on this Petek (note) – Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman - this eases all the troubles and sweetens all the harsh judgements, all the sins and all the falls and all of the heresy of the world. This is enough to destroy the Other Side (the Evil Inclination), to dispel all the darkness, everything, it transforms everything. This is a new power like nothing that was ever before in the world.
2. Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman, this has the power, this opens up all the gates of mercy, all the gates of prayer, all the gates of repentence, all of the Tora.
3. Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman – this is the main point. This contains all of the Redemption, and all of the salvations are included in this name, for the central point of everything is dependent on Rabbi Nachman.
4. This is effective for everyone, on both the general and individual levels. Every person should pray and say verbally: "May the merit of Rabbi Nachman protect us and all the Jewish People, the merit of Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman".
5. Our holy leader Rabbi Nachman, this matter is an entirely new secret, yes. Rabbi Nachman revealed that his name is a Song that is Single, Doubled, Tripled, and Quadrupled – Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman.
6. If one is suffering or there is some sin – immediately say Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman, this already transforms everything. This renews – everything, transforms – to good. Nachman MeUman – this transforms everything.

Since Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman "eases all the troubles and sweetens all the harsh judgements, all the sins and all the falls and all of the heresy of the world" it must include non-Orthodox Jews and even the Noahidim right? So Na Nach Nachmu Nachman MeUman is for everyone! Its the Song of Universalredemption.
HaShem said of the Day of Redemption: I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples"-- Isaiah 56:7
So... how do we plug into the plan of universal redemption? Its difficult to get a response from the Nanachs, but they show us the way because...
And everybody wants to be a Nanach!
I Says I Wanna Be A Nanach Rabbainu Freed Me

So...

We Will, We Will... Nanach!   So what up with dis Nanach Meuman?
All dem Nanachs doing the Nanach Swipe... Oh yeah
And we just sayin'

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman

(Hebrew: נ נח נחמ נחמן מאומן‎)

Andre Barnett for POTUS in 2012!

We have no viable options for the 2012 election.

Whether Barry Soetoro or Mit Romney and Ryan wins the nation and the world are going to lose BIG TIME. Its just a fact. Depression is coming.

But can you imagine what would happen if We The People united around an real American for president? Behind a nationalist candidate who is committed to the United States? Behind a candidate who understands the importance of compassion for seniors, the disabled and the victims of the Bush, Obama and Romney economic pillaging of the nation? If we stood united behind a candidate who stands firmly with Israel and American values? Who supports religious freedom? Who is anti-war and pro-defense? Who supports women AND children...
And behind a man who looks good in underwear ahem... well... there is that :-)
As of now I'm supporting Andre Barnett For President in 2012. Not only is he NOT Obama nor Romney, he talks a good game and he stands for the restoration of the Republic and all that we've lost under W. Bush and Obama!

On Uttering the Sacred Name of G-d

As Jewish Meshiykhiyyim (i.e. authentic, monotheistic Messianic Jews) we stress the importance of intention in all matters. If ones intention is righteous that covers a multitude of possible mistakes. Fortunately for us all HaShem considers our hearts, our intentions.

What is permitted or rejected somewhat varies according times and circumstances. For instance, in a time when male and female Pagan temple prostitutes donned certain hair styles to identify themselves Rav Paul states that these styles should be rejected (I Corinthians 11:14,15) lest there be confusion. Today hairstyles do not imply an affinity with Pagan deities and many godly people keep their hair short or long depending on personal preference. This is just an example. We want to avoid legalism and seek to understand the intentions of the various commands. In the case of uttering the Sacred Name similar considerations should be pondered.

Today the so-called "Holy Names Movement" and others are, in my opinion, cheapening the Sacred Name by overuse and indiscriminate use. For this reason (among others) we at Temple and Yeshiva Beth HaShem believe that the ancient Jewish tradition of never uttering the Sacred Name needs to be reinforced and carefully observed lest we inadvertently offend the Sacred Name: The Name should not be uttered.

We have a strict rule in our e-groups, blogs etc. against writing the Sacred Name (in any form). In the following piece I am making an exception to this rule because it is important that everyone understands this material and the following excellent educational article is from a highly respected Jewish source, Rabbi Louis Jacobs of My Jewish Learning -- All emphasis mine:

The Tetragrammaton is the four-letter name of God formed from the letters yod, hey, vav, and hey, hence YHVH in the usual English rendering. The older form JHVH is based on the rendering of yod as jod [Note: there is no jod in Hebrew, this was an English substitution made during the 1600's CE].

This name is usually translated in English as "the Lord," following the Greek translation as kyrios. All this goes back to the Jewish practice of never pronouncing the name as it is written but as Adonai, "the Lord." In printed texts the vowels of this word are placed under the letters of the Tetragrammaton. (Hence the name was read erroneously by Christians as "Jehova," a name completely unknown in the Jewish tradition.) The original pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton has been lost, owing to the strong Jewish disapproval of pronouncing the name. The pronunciation Yahveh or Yahweh is based on that used by some of the Church Fathers but there is no certainty at all in this matter. Most biblical scholars, nowadays, prefer to render it simply as YHWH or JHVH without the vowels. This name occurs 6,823 times in the present text of the Hebrew Bible.

What does the name mean? In Exodus 3:14-15 the name is associated with the idea of "being," and hence some have understood the original meaning to be "He-Who-Is," or "He who brings being into being."

Generally, as [scholar Umberto] Cassuto and others have noted, the name Elohim ("God") is used in the Bible of God in His universalistic aspect, the God of the whole universe, while the Tetragrammaton is used of God in His special relationship with the people of Israel.

The Tetragrammaton in Post-Bibical Literature

The Tetragrammaton is known in the rabbinic literature as Ha-Shem ("the Name") or Shem Ha-Meforash, meaning either the "special" name or the name uttered explicitly, that is, by the High Priest in the Temple. The Rabbis also refer to it as Shem Ha-Meyuhad ("the Unique Name") or as "the Four Letter Name." There is evidence that even after the change-over (between the fourth and second centuries BCE) from the old Hebrew writing to the so-called "square" script now used, the Tetragrammaton was sometimes written in the Scrolls in the old script. Although the Rabbis rejected this procedure, it is attested to as late as the fifth century CE in a fragment of Aquila's Greek translation and is mentioned by Origen as well as being found in some of the Qumran texts.

The data regarding the prohibition of pronouncing the Tetragrammaton as it is written are complicated but the following are the main details. Philo (Life of Moses, ii. II) observes that on the front of the High Priest's miter were incised the four letters of the divine name which it is lawful only for the priests to utter in the Temple (in the priestly blessing) and for no one else, to utter anywhere.

The [midrash] Sifre (Numbers 43) similarly states that in the Temple the priestly blessing was given with the pronunciation of the special name (Shem Ha- Meforash) but outside the Temple with the substitute name (Adonai). The Mishnah (Sotah 7: 6; Tamid 7:2) also states that that in the Temple the name was uttered as written but outside the Temple by its substitute. In another Mishnah (Yoma 6: 2) it is stated that on Yom Kippur when the High Priest uttered the Shem Ha-Meforash the people fell on their faces and proclaimed: "Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever."

The most relevant text for the prohibition against uttering the Tetragrammaton as it is written is the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 10:1) in which Abba Saul declares that one who pronounces the divine name with its letters (i.e. as it is spelled) has no share in the World to Come....

The reason why Jews were reluctant to utter the Tetragrammaton is not too clear, but appears to based on the idea that this name is so descriptive of God that it was considered to be gross irreverence to use it. It is also possible that the use of this name in some circles for magical purposes was a further reason why its pronunciation was forbidden. In the Babylonian Talmud (Pesahim 50a) there is a homily on the verse: "In that day shall the Lord be One, and His name One" (Zechariah 14:9). This is understood to mean that in this world the Tetragrammaton is read as Adonai but in the Messianic age the name will once again be pronounced as it is written.

Generally in the rabbinic literature, the Tetragrammaton is interpreted as referring to God in His attribute of mercy and Elohim to God in His attribute of judgment. Thus a Midrah explains why the Tetragrammaton is used together with Elohim in the second chapter of Genesis while Elohim on its own is used in the first chapter, on the grounds that God created the world with His attribute of strict justice but added the attribute of mercy so that the world could endure.

The Tetragrammaton in Medieval Philosophy

Judah Halevi in his Kuzari (iv. 1-17) has Elohim represents divinity but does not necessarily refer to God. Sometimes in Scripture this name refers to the gods of polytheistic religion. The Tetragrammaton, on the other hand, is God's personal name...

For Maimonides (Guide of the Perplexed, 1.61) all the divine names are simply descriptions of God's actions. This includes the name Adonai, which simply expressed the lordship of God and lordship is applicable, too, to human beings. The sole exception is the Tetragrammaton, which, unlike other names, gives a clear, unequivocal indication of God's essence. This name has no derivation. The prohibition against pronouncing the Tetragrammaton exists because this name is indicative of the divine essence in a way that no created thing is associated with Him.

When the Rabbis say that before the world was created there was only God and His name they call attention to the special nature of this name and how it differs from all the other names for God. The other names are derived from God's acts in the world and therefore could only have come into being after the world had been created. But the Tetragrammaton indicates God's essence and was therefore in being before the world was created.

Maimonides takes strong issue with the doctrine, popular in his day, that the Tetragrammaton has magical power or that there are a number of divine names by which magical influences can be brought to bear on the world. The Tetragrammaton is nothing else than the four-letter name, distinguished from all others solely because it is indicative of God's essence....

For Sale or Trade: Manure Spreader

YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT INTERESTED IN USED FARM EQUIPMENT,

BUT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS AD TAKEN FROM CRAIG'S LIST.

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard. Apparently, it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can sling crap for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader this November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.

Location: Currently being stored in a big white warehouse in Washington, D.C.

Romney Confirms the Re-election of Obama

Well.... at least he didn't pick Condi Rice or Ron Paul! That's something I guess...

With the choice of Paul Ryan for his VP Corporatist Mit Romney confirms that his administration, if elected, will be applying draconian budget cutting measures, further crippling those who can least afford the hit. All those who rely on Social Security (now or in the future), Medicare (now or in the future), WICK, Food Stamps, unemployment insurance, AFDC etc. need to think very carefully before voting this November.

Probably (not certainly because Romney is still mainly mute on the subject) Romney would be better than Obama when it comes to Israel. However that's not the only critical issue. This unwise VP selection will doubtless add more Independents to the Democrat/al Ikhwan party voting block and leave innumerable "lower class," underemployed, unemployed, elderly and disabled voters feeling politically and economically dis-empowered. This will inevitably means that more people will vote for Obama (whose Islamo-Marxist agenda will not as directly assault ones survival in the short term) or it will mean staying away from the polling places all together.

Californian and other Republicans had no vote in selecting Romney as the Republican nominee. Those who got no vote in the matter and those who voted for someone other than Romney because they wanted a Conservative nominee to represent them, have no reason to vote Romney now, especially those of us the Republican hierarchy did not allow to vote on the nominee. Like W. Bush, Mit Romney does not share the views of the majority of Republicans so why vote for him?

Fact: Opposing the Obama agenda (which most Americans still do not understand) by committing personal and national economic suicide will not sit well with many voters, including Republicans.

This latest out of touch misstep could well cinch the election for Obama and I suspect it has.

At this point I plan to sit the election out. I don't see how I can vote for either of these globalists as a compassionate nationalist American.

When the only options are Globalist-Fascism (Romney) and Marxism mixed with Islamic-fascism (Obama) how does a freedom-minded person choose? Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
