Oola Ooliba and the Elders; Sexual Rituals in the Temple; Split Soul; Pornographic Art; Ezekiel 23

Enemy infiltration is a perspective that we have not taken the time to think through. Satanas is not building his own temples for his followers just down the street from our churches and synagogues. Although there are a few people attempting to get attention by their public display of satanic worship. But really Satanas is in the church, just as Satanas was in Israel. Why bother making your own temple when there is a temple dedicated to Yahweh Elohim that you can take over. While we might think that we are the targets of satanism in the church it is really our children who are targets by this infiltration of evil. It is an ultimate mockery to infiltrate and overtake the temple that David worked so hard to pave the way for. The idea was to have a permanent place to worship Yahweh, but it seems that because humans are easily fooled the temple was allowed to have every religion represented and practiced in it. When we look at the prophecy that Ezekiel gave to the elders of Israel we have to pay close attention to the literal things that Yahweh said. Yahweh is not talking to them figuratively, he is literally explaining the sins of their prostitution. Not only did they adopt the gods from other nations, they brought those practices into the temple. Hezekiah and Josiah tried to clean up Israel and the temple but many citizens did not support them. Now in captivity, the elders want to find out about their situation. Ezekiel speaks to them from Yahweh and clearly shows how they broke their own nation.

The Elders of Israel came to Ezekiel in the seventh year of captivity in the fifth month and the tenth day, asking to hear from Yahweh. Now that they were in captivity and the temple had been destroyed they thought this would be a good time to inquire as to their situation.


Ezekiel 20:1 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G1722 in G3588 the G2094 [2year G3588   G1442 1seventh], G1722 in G3588 the G3991 fifth G3376 month, G1181 tenth G3588 of the G3376 month, G2064 there came G435 men G1537 from G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 of the G3624 house G* of Israel G1905 to ask of G3588 the G2962 lord . G2532 And G2523 they sat G4253 before G4383 my face. G1473  

  2 G2532 And G1096 [3came G3056 1 the word G2962 2 of the lord] G4314 to G1473 me, G3004 saying,


Ezekiel gives these elders a three chapter answer from Yahweh, probably over the course of a few days. We see something similar in 2 Ezra. Yahweh tells them the story of two sisters. 


Ezekiel LXX2012(i)23: 1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother: 3 and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity. 


The word whoring, ἐκπορνεύω means prostituted, ἐκ means “from out of” and πορνεύω means “sexual sin" or “prostitute”. In Israel’s infancy there were two nations who both prostituted themselves in Egypt. Isaiah speaks of a later time when Judah was making alliances with Egypt, Isaiah 30. But Yahweh is referring to their time in Egypt when they went in as free people. 


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2020/06/flying-asps-winged-women-greek-and.html


Their breasts fell as if they became old and they διεπαρθενεύθησαν transformed or disguised themselves. The English translations say “lost her virginity” but the text actually says transformed. Meaning she changed herself with her prostitution to look like the Egyptians. Satanas was able to influence the nation of Israel when she was in Egypt to behave like the Egyptians. Satanas didn’t have to distort the Egyptians, they were not a nation whose Elohim is Yahweh. Egypt simply acted like any primal nation without any knowledge of Yahweh. 


We should keep in mind that before going into Egypt as free people, Reuben had slept with his stepmom Bilhah. Juda slept with prostitutes and accidentally his own daughter in law, impregnating her. Jacob’s sons sold Joseph as a slave. Later when they went to look for Joseph they looked for him at the wall where the prostitutes hung out because they thought he was effeminate, or in other words a male prostitute. Once in Egypt the sons of Jacob were free people but they worshipped Egypts idols and their ways. This is why in their later years they became slave labor. As they were coming out of Egypt the men were enticed to sleep with the Moabite women who batted their eyelashes at them on the road. Once they came out of Egypt into their own land the men of Benjamin wanted to gang rape a Levite. They eventually settled for the Levites wife. They raped her all night long and threw her on the front porch of a kind man who the Levite was staying with, where she died. The sons of Jacob were not always the nicest people and they seemed to have a lot of bad habits. 


Ezekiel 23:4 And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba. 


The two daughters are Oola and Ooliba. They had many children. Oola is Samaria or the northern kingdom and Ooliba is Jerusalem the southern kingdom. At the time that the temple was built they were both one kingdom. The kingdom had split in two about 400 years earlier. Oola in Hebrew means “her own tent” and was a name referring to the ten tribes. In Hebrew Ooliba means “tent of the high place” and referred to Judah.


If you wanted to destroy Jacob’s children where would you do it from? Inside the kingdom or outside the kingdom? Satanas chose inside the kingdom and once the kingdom split it was easier to distort both the north and the south. 


Ezekiel 23:5 And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors, 6 clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses. 


To dote here is the word epitithēmi meaning “on lay down” or “upon lay down”. Oola on laid down upon her lovers the Assyrians coming near to her who are clothed in dark purple, leading magistrates, young men, chosen ones. All the mounted horsemen upon horses. Oola slept with all the important people. She transformed in Egypt and now she is sleeping with the people in Assyria. 


As Peter tells us, Yahweh knows how to deliver the righteous out of trials. There were many nations that did not follow Yahweh, such as Sodom, Gomorrah, Adma, and Zeboim. The cities of the plains were not heirs of Jacob, and their sins crossed a line. As we can plainly see there are certain rules that Satanas has to abide by, and in some way, these cities broke some universal rules that we don’t quite understand. The majority of people were corrupted. When the angels came to Lot’s house Lot was allowed to go out to his other daughters homes to tell them to leave the city. Lot had five daughters. One of Lot’s daughters had been killed for helping a man the city officials were attempting to kill. The other two daughters and their families wanted to stay in Sodom. Lot left with his wife and two younger daughters. Lot lost his two older daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. No wonder “Mrs. Lot” looked back, her children were killed. How corrupted can a nation become before it crosses a line? We obviously don’t want to find that out, but we want to understand that the majority sway a nation. Therefore righteousness, godliness, and holiness, should be our majority, not sin. 


Ezekiel 23:7 And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices. 


She prostituted herself to the chosen sons of the Assyrians as well as laid down with them, and, in all reminders and memories, she’s corrupted. Her fornication was always on her mind. The word devices means “thoughts”. This was all she thought about. 


Ezekiel 23:8 And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her. 


She prostituted herself with Egypt and absolutely did not leave it behind or forsake it as they slept with her in her youth and transformed and poured their harlotry on her. We are not talking about mixed marriages, meaning Jacob’s sons marrying Egyptian women, we are talking about idolatry and sexual sins. Somehow people thought open sexual perversions, in temples, before the gods, was a way to get the gods to listen to them. The Egyptian priests had quite a racket going on in Egypt. They also made people pay for indulgences to let their loved ones out of hades. We can see how this influence eventually entered the temple. 


Ezekiel 23:9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.


Yahweh gave her to the ones he prostituted herself with. If we think back to the times of Elijah and Elisha, the northern kingdom was warned about what she was doing but the people did not repent. This is literal and figurative prostitution. She mixed herself with the other nations in sexual rituals and when in captivity in Assyria she mixed again. This is why the southern kingdom called the Samarians “dogs”. Because of the mixed heirs they bore from their ritualistic sexual practices. They didn’t have abortion clinics on every corner but they did abort babies. Once born they sacrificed their babies in other ways. Oola destroyed her own offspring. Oola did the same ritualistic practices of the other nations. The southern kingdom was not any better.


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2019/03/manasseh-cesarean-sections-abortion.html


Ezekiel 23:10 They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters. 


She uncovered apokaluptō her own disgrace. They received her sons and daughters with daggers to kill them. Oola became a cry for women and manufactured vengeance and punishment in her. 


Ezekiel 23:11 And her sister Ooliba saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister. 


Ooliba destroyed herself laying upon, above Oola, and prostituted herself more than Oola. The word fondness translated here is the word epithesis, meaning “laying on” as in laying on of hands. This was not a passive posture but an aggressive posture. She actively pursued these practices. She saw what her sister did and pursued her lovers as if she could do it better. Ooliba had a temple dedicated to Yahweh in her midst. 


Where was the temple located? In the south with Ooliba. What was gong on in the temple? Over 400 years of corruption, including male and female prostitution, worshipping stars, constellations, angels, cherubim, and sacrifices to Moloch, etc. This is why earlier Ezekiel saw the corruption in the temple and the angels that came to mark the people who mourned for the temple, and the Holy Spirit was taken up by the cherubim and ophanim. Yahweh will be pointing this out soon. 


Just to note here, the practice of temple prostitution continued into the first century. Remember the women taken in adultery from John 8. Jesus was teaching in the temple courts. Jesus was not allowed in the inner courts as he was not a priest. While he was teaching the Pharisees threw a woman at his feet. Where was she? In the temple compound. She wasn’t in town somewhere, and they did not drag her for miles to the outer temple courts. She was a prostitute in the temple. Jesus literally said that whoever had not sinned with her, cast the first stone. The translators left the word “her” out in modern translations but we find it in older translations. How did Jesus know they had all sinned with her? This is why she didn’t have any accusers because according to the law both the men and women adulterers were to both be stoned. 


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2020/12/i-am-yahwehs-name-revealed-abraham.html


Ezekiel 23:12 She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men. 13 And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way. 


The two sisters had one way or they both did the same things. For a nation stemming from Jacob, one of the most devoted men to Yahweh Elohim, they were as far from Yahweh as they could possibly be. They were entrusted to teach nations about Yahweh and instead they indulged themselves. Both sisters did the same things. 


Ezekiel 23:14 And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil, 15 having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed [attire] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land. 


Ooliba increased her porneia. She increased by pornography. The word that is used for man here is anēr meaning “human”, as compared to “manfaced” which denotes men apart from other sons of God. They painted images of the Chaldeans on walls of homes with pencils. So we see their art now became pornographic. They were drawing images of the Babylonian Chaldeans. 


It is quite embarrassing for most citizens of North America to walk into tourist shops in other countries. Usually there is a display of idols for sale that the people once worshipped in that region. Some have very large members. When we see these idols we cannot understand what people were thinking when they made them so many years ago. Well, they were fantasizing over the way they imagined a god of fertility would look like. They seemed to be big sellers as people changed the faces of the mini fertility gods to suit their tastes. It is obvious that among the idols in the temple there were idols with large members for people to worship and perform sexual rites.  


It is important to remember Babylon’s history. Babylon was not a dominant nation during Israel’s history. Babylon was only a prosperous and dominant nation at the time of Nimrod. But during the times of Israel, Babylon went in and out of captivity itself. Usually it was the Assyrians that ruled Babylon, but Babylon was allowed to rise up to overtake Judah as it was a close nation.  


Ezekiel 23:16 And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans. 17 And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them. 18 And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister. 


She prostituted herself with the Chaldeans with her eyes. That means she used the images of them to arouse herself. She sent for the Chaldeans and they came into her marriage bed. She defiled herself and separated her soul from Yahweh. It is interesting that Yahweh says the defilement caused her soul to revolt. This is a soul tie, the sin caused her soul to attach itself to the Chaldeans and depart from herself. This can split someone’s personality. Not everyone in the southern kingdom was following after the Chaldeans so there was also a split among the people. Her soul was separated, which tells us that as a nation their souls should have been united. Then Yahweh’s soul connection was separated from Ooliba as it was from Oola. To be clear, this defilement separates one’s own soul from itself, splitting it. It also separates that one’s soul from other people, and it separates that one’s soul from Yahweh. 


Ezekiel 23:19 And you did multiply your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, wherein you did commit whoredom in Egypt, 20 and you did dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members [as] the members of horses.


Oola laid down upon the Chaldeans whose bodies were like donkeys. This tells us that their body was strong. They weren’t soft fat people, they were strong and hard. And their genitals were like horse genitals, meaning their genitals were very large. This is what they drew pictures of. Men in garments with large genitals to which they fantasized over and prostituted themselves with when they called on them. Maybe the Israelite men were not as graciously endowed. They did this in Egypt as well, but there is something else here. 


In this entire section we are not talking about women who prostituted with men, but men who prostituted with men. Ezekiel is prophesying to the elders, who were all men. The word αιδοία is actually translated vulva, which is a “female opening” in Greek. The Hebrew changes this word to translate as seminal fluid, probably to suggest something slightly different. Their flesh were like donkeys, their genitals and openings were like horses. The men salivated over the artistic works of images of the Chaldeans, and they slept with the Chaldeans who were hung like horses. 


Once again we have to point out we are speaking of adulterous sexual ritual practices in the temple, not monogamous relationships. He is not condemning monogamous marriages of people from other nations. He is speaking nationally that the temple is defiled by these booths of the prostitutes. What we don’t really understand, because the Bible is written more historically, is the practices that were going on in the temple. These practices were not made known to the common laity. Yahweh is not speaking of eunuchs either. He is speaking of sexual ritual worship in His house.  


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2022/04/eunuchs-divorce-from-womb-laws-for.html

 

There is a reason that Yahweh is being so descriptive here. He is making a point that doing this separates one’s soul from the rest of the body and from Him. So while Yahweh is saying that they figuratively prostituted themselves with Assyria and Babylon, they also literally prostituted themselves with Assyria and Babylon. They lusted after them and separated themselves from Yahweh. 


The tent of a human is their body, the tent of the Lord is the tabernacle. Yahweh’s breath left the human tent Oola. Yahweh’s breath left the temple, Ooliba. Both the soul’s of Oola and Ooliba were separated causing Yahweh’s breath to leave both individual tents and the temple. Oola and Ooliba were drawn by the lust of the flesh away from Yahweh until they stiffened their necks against Yahweh, enjoying their lusts and performing sexual rituals. They were not victims, they simply chose to lose the breath of Yahweh Elohim.


Today it seems that we have a culture bent on the sexual indoctrination of children. Why? There are probably more than two reasons here but one is to prepare willing participants for the future. The other is to justify adult perversity that already exists. Now the perverted adults can be the leaders in this movement. Yahweh doesn’t want his children indoctrinated but we have allowed Satanas into our churches. We have allowed Satanas into our schools. Infiltration. 


Jesus is very clear in Matthew 18, he states that if someone causes one child to turn away from Jesus, that evil person is destined for eternal death. Jesus will go after that one child, but the perpetrator will end up in the fires of Gehenna.

We may not have understood that there were booths for prostitution in the temple, male prostitution, as well as female prostitution. Why? Where did they learn this? Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon.


2 Kings 23:7 G2532 And G2507 he demolished G3588 the G3624 house G3588 of the G2504.2 male prostitutes G3588 of the ones G1722 in G3588 the G3624 house G2962 of the lord G1722 in G3739 which G3588 the G1135 women G5306.1 wove G1563 apparel there G4749   G3588 for the G251.1 sacred grove.


2 Kings 23:7 (ISV)  He also demolished the temples of the cultic male prostitutes that had been operating in the LORD's Temple, where the women had been doing weaving for the Asherah.


Josiah tried to eliminate all of the evil that had found its way into the temple but eventually the evil all came back. Keep a linear timeline in perspective here. After Solomon died the kingdom split and several types of idolatry, adultery, and evil sacrifice, started in the temple and lasted for about 400 years; until Ezekiel sees the defilement and the destruction of the temple. This is the end of this era, as now the southern kingdom will go into captivity and all of Israel will eventually be under Assyrian rule, then Greek rule, then Roman rule. Yahweh is speaking to the elders in this very graphic way to shake them from their stupor. The majority sways a nation. The righteous were marked and spared by angels. Although Yahweh overlooked this, he is bringing it up to point out that he overlooked it in the past but they should not have been doing this in the temple of Yahweh Elohim.


It is also interesting to note that Yahweh keeps bringing up Egypt and Israels sins with Egypt. When Jacob and his sons went into Egypt Joseph was the second in command, a ruler of the land. Joseph had married the high priest’s daughter and had sons. Jacob’s sons mingled and merged with the Egyptians. Yahweh is not upset by mixed marriages. Yahweh doesn’t care if someone marries outside of their tribe or nation. Ruth was a moabite lady in Jesus’ own lineage. What Yahweh is upset with is the distorted spiritual and sexual practices of the other nations. Why would anyone have built booths for male and female prostitutes in the temple? What kind of sexual rituals did they add to temple service? Later when their seventy year captivity was over, Ezra separated the people who were from Babylon who married into Israel’s families. Why? Because he was rededicating the temple. He didn’t want ritual sexual practices to creep into the temple again from the culture of Babylon. 


 Ezekiel 23:21 And you did look upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you wrought in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth. 22 Therefore, Ooliba, thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about, 23 the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses. 24 And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against you round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgments. 25 And I will bring upon you my jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and shall cast down your remnant with the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant fire shall devour. 

26 And they shall strip you of your raiment, and take [away] your ornaments. 


They will have their noses and ears cut off so that everyone knows they are Ooliba’s children. They will have their sons and daughters murdered. They will have their clothes taken and their valuables taken. The word here sometimes translated items is skeous meaning “vessel, implement, or equipment”. These are not decorative things like jewelry, but utility items, like chamber pots, cooking pots, and water jugs. This means they would have to go out in the community for their daily needs without their noses and ears, and everyone would see them. It would be constant humiliation. 


Ezekiel 23:27 So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt: and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt. 28 Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated. 29 And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of your labors and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare: and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed: and your ungodliness and your fornication 30 brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and did defile yourself with their devices. 31 You did walk in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands. 32 Thus says the Lord; Drink your sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness. 33 And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria, 34 drink you it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord. 35 Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you has forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore receive you [the reward] of your ungodliness and your fornication. 


This doesn’t seem very encouraging to the elders who are enquiring of Yahweh. All they know is they will be made very low for their fornication. They forgot about Yahweh. 


The new moon celebrations were in regards to fertility. Women ovulated during the full moon. By the time of the new moon women knew if they were expecting or not. If they were menstruating they were not pregnant. This also applied to their animals, their sheep, goats, and cows. The festival was to celebrate life, not the moon. It was not to celebrate anything other than pregnancy. We can see how distorted these festivals became, and how offensive they became to Yahweh when they turned them into orgies in the temple. 


One of the regular festivals of Sodom and the five cities of the plains took place four times per year. The people got together, took some type of herb, and then went off into the fields with each others spouses. In other words they were wife swapping while on drugs. This practice was perfectly normal for these people who were not sons of Yahweh, but Yahweh’s children were not to commit adultery. Yet if they committed adultery in the temple, they thought it was acceptable. Once one generation decides to do this every succeeding generation did this, and no one knew where the rituals came from. 


Ezekiel 23:36 And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities? 37 For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.


They committed adultery in their devices or thoughts. To commit adultery against Yahweh means they sought after someone else. Who? Satanas, the god of this world, aka the prince of this world. They passed their children through the fire. What kind of ridiculous practice is this? Not one that Yahweh instituted. By this time of the 70 year captivity, Satanas had so intertwined demonic practices with Yahweh’s worship services, the people probably didn’t know which rituals were wrong. Even today in Jewish hospitals, they pass the new born baby over a candle flame. Seriously. 


Lev 18:21  And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.


The Israelites were told from the start of the their nation not to pass their children through the fires to Moloch, yet as we see in linear time, they kept right on doing it. 


2Ki 16:3  But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.


2Ki 17:17  And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.


Now at the end of their era, they are still passing their children through the fire. The infiltration was so engrained that the people simply just followed the traditions and practices that their fathers established, even though these were not Yahweh’s practices. This next verse is a harsh slap from Yahweh.  


Eze 20:31  For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.


This is when the elders came to enquire of Yahweh Elohim. Where was all this happening, offering gifts, passing their children through the fire, and idolatry? In the temple. They were doing this for over 400 years. Now they wanted to hear the future from Yahweh, but they also wanted to behave like they were worshipping Satanas. They were supposed to teach the other nations about Yahweh Elohim but instead Satanas taught them some different ways. Where does Satanas rule from? Not his own temple, but from the very heart of Yahweh’s temple.


Ezekiel 23:38 So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths. 39 And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house; 


They corrupted Yahweh’s sanctuary. Who wanted to honor Yahweh with a temple? David. Who built the temple? Solomon. Who resided in the temple? The Spirit of the Living God, the Holy Spirit. And now this generation, four hundred years later, demands to hear from Yahweh as if he is a Genie in a bottle. Their souls are so far removed from Yahweh they do not even treat the Creator of the heavens and earth with respect. 


Ezekiel 23:40 and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you did wash yourself, and did paint your eyes and adorn yourself with ornaments, 41 and sat on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them, 42 and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads; 43 Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot? 


The Israelite men in Jerusalem got all dolled up for the foreigners. The foreigners went in to both the northern and southern kingdom as if going into a prostitute. Just imagine how easy it was for Satanas to mislead Israel, all he had to do was tempt them with some pornography on buildings and they couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then all Satanas had to do was make sure they enjoyed themselves with their lovers and the temple was lost for thousands of years. Isn’t it a shame that we have to battle the same antiquated tricks and schemes of Satanas because we never learned from this prophecy?


Ezekiel 23:44 And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity. 45 And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. 


The foreigners they slept with will bring judgment on Israel, both the north and the south. 


Ezekiel 23:46 Thus says the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them. 47 And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses. 48 And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness. 49 And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices: and you shall know that I am the Lord.


The women will be instructed. Apparently the women were taught incorrectly. The men will be repaid with their guilty thoughts. Imagine the dark cloud over these elders for the rest of their lives. This captivity will last for seventy years and it will clean the land. It is not what the elders wanted to hear. 


We have a few churches out there that are allowing productions to prepare children for lives of ritual sexual abuse. This is not the focus of our existence but Satanas would like us to be so focused and self centered so that just like Oola and Ooliba we cannot think of anything else. Satanas would like our nation’s  societal art and creativity to reflect sexual gratification as if this is all we ever live for. We give people drugs for sexual stimulation that causes their minds to obsess on the “high” that they will get. Once children are taught to allow adults to use them for sexual gratification, those children will recruit other children. Their souls will separate from themselves, as a splitting of their own personality, their souls will separate from their families, and their souls will separate from Yahweh. What can Satanas do with a generation of young people who’s souls are split? The public schools are an easy target because of “diversity”. However we do not have to allow our children to be their pawns. We do not have to allow our churches and schools to become their training grounds. We Christians should be the majority and we should be the ones to defeat Satanas in our nations. If we learn anything from Yahweh’s story of the two sisters, we should learn that the temple was not the high holy place that people want us to think it was, because the people turned away from Yahweh and severed their soul from Him. We however can do the opposite, we are not of this world.

Sons of Hell-Pharisees; Infiltration; Hidden Secrets Revealed; Psalms 46; Matthew 23

There is a song written that is a hidden or secret song for the end of the age. It is apparent that prophets saw the end of the age and wrote to us to encourage us. When we see the insanity of the world around us we feel weighted down. We know that this is not our home, we are only here for a short time. There have been secrets shared in the Bible that have not been understood until these last days. Likewise Jesus also told us some interesting things but we have not quite understood the depth of them. As we look into these secrets and mysteries we can better understand ourselves and our Lord and Savior. We can see the influence that enemy infiltrators have had over the years in Judaism and Christianity. We see the unfortunate result of the enemy infiltration, which is many lost souls. Yahweh sees us. He is in us. And we have the comfort of knowing that even when we are being pursued by enemies who want to stop us from speaking of Jesus Christ, He is our escape and our mighty miracle working power, and we can call on Him for help. 

This short Psalm is written by the sons of Korah. David placed the Korhites at the tabernacle doors. They were also singers of psalms, we might call them a choir. They wrote eleven psalms themselves. 


Psalm 46:0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G5228 for G3588 the G5207 sons G* of Korah; G5228 [2concerning G3588 3the G2931.1 4secrets G5568 1a psalm].


“Into the fulfillment over the sons Korah over the hidden song.”


This is a song into the end of the age, or the completion of the age in regards to a hidden song, or a secret song. Why is there a hidden or secret song? What is the secret of this song for the end of the age? We don’t know what the sons of Korah were seeing about the end of the age, but they were seeing something that should help us. 


Psalm 46:1 G3588   G2316 Our God G1473   G2707.1 is a refuge G2532 and G1411 power; G998 a helper G1722 in G2347 afflictions, G3588 to the ones G2147 [2having found G1473 3us G4970 1exceedingly].


‘The Elohim our downward escape and miracle power one to call on (boēthos) in pressure the vehemently searching us.” 


The word καταφυγή is a compound word, κατα meaning “downward”, and φυγή meaning “escape”. The Elohim is our dunamis boēthos or our miracle working helper in times of pressure from people vehemently searching for us. Let’s look at history over the ages. The Jews and the Christians were persecuted at different times. People actively searched out Jews and Christians to persecute them and in later times the Jews actively searched for Christians to persecute. 


Since we have an enemy we want to think about how our enemy operates against us. We usually think one dimensionally to point out one group of people as our persecutors, but what if our enemies go deeper than that? What would you do as an overlord on the earth or as a prince of the air? Well we might think back to all the infiltrations of non-Jews into Judaism. All the mixing of the DNA of the heirs of Jacob. Certainly we would want to corrupt the bloodline of Jacob. We would then want to make the corrupted bloodline appear holy and elevate those individuals above the laity so that the laity follow them. This is what happened with the Pharisees, who later morphed into Rabbi’s who altered scrolls and texts to make their own book of the Old Covenant, called the Masoretic Text. They had to be willing to kill others to preserve their movement. 


Beginning around 30 AD and for years after the Pharisees took it upon themselves to try and kill off the Essenes who were the Assideans from the 100 BC era. When both the Essenes and Pharisees were living in Jerusalem, before the defilement of the temple when Jonathan Apphus was made high priest, both groups pursued after Yahweh Elohim. There was a split. The Pharisees who sided with the Hasmoneans stayed in temple service. After the split, the Pharisees set themselves up as overlords over the people. As Jesus pointed out, their dogma’s were a burden on the people and their elevated social status was a defilement, because they were really sons of hell. Jesus explained them very well in Matthew 23. Let’s look at the Pharisees who were the servants of Satanas and understand the way that Satanas tried to stop the Messiah by infiltrating Judaism.


Mat (LITV) 23:1  Then Jesus spoke to the crowd and to His disciples,

Mat 23:2  saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down on Moses' seat.

Mat 23:3  Then all things, whatever they tell you to keep, keep and do. But do not do according to their works, for they say, and do not do.

Mat 23:4  For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but they do not desire to move them with their finger.


The Pharisees and scribes have sat down on Moses’ seat, meaning that they have taken over for Moses who wrote the law for the people. They are adding, arranging, and reconstructing rules and laws for the people as if they were Moses. Jesus is saying that if they read the Law of Moses, do what they say but do not do what they do, because they do not keep the Laws of Moses themselves. Jesus says these overlords weigh the laity down with all sorts of crazy burdens but they do not help people and they don’t follow their own rules.  


Mat 23:5  And they do all their works to be seen by men. And they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their robes.

Mat 23:6  And they love the first couch in the suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues,

Mat 23:7  and the greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.


If Satanas wants to steer people away from Jesus he will put people in positions that everyone can see and desire for themselves. Jesus wasn’t flamboyant, the Pharisees were. And if Satanas wants to put someone in the spotlight that person will do things to get attention. Jesus didn’t need to dress in flashy clothes or sit in the best seats at community feasts. Jesus even told the laity that they like to be called “teacher, teacher”. Who altered the scriptures? The Rabbis. Who attempted to erase Jesus from the Bible? The Rabbis. This infiltration distorted the faith of many generations of innocent Jews.


Mat 23:8  But do not you be called Rabbi, for One is your Leader, the Christ, and you are all brothers.


We are not to be called Rabbi or master. There are people who call themselves Rabbi today. They are not of Jesus. If they believed on Jesus they would not call themselves Rabbi. 


Mat 23:9  And call no one your father on earth, for One is your Father, the One in Heaven.


There are people in certain religions that call themselves Father. No one should call themselves Father in a religious organization. We have one Father, our Heavenly Father, and one Master Teacher, Jesus. We can see Satanas’ distortions here. 


Mat 23:10  Nor be called leaders, for One is your Leader, the Christ.


The word translated here as leaders is kathēgētēs, κατά meaning “downward" and ἡγέομαι meaning “to lead the way” or “govern”. The idea is that a downward leader or downward governor is someone who says that they hear from above and then downward impose their rule over others. These words of Jesus pretty much dismantle the hierarchy in the churches. 


We can see the tentacles of Satanas’ infiltration into all religions. Just these three things alone show us that we ourselves have gone off track and followed the lies of Satanas. No Rabbi/teacher/master. No Father. No downward leader/overlords. Be servants instead. 


Mat 23:11  But the greater of you shall be your servant.

Mat 23:12  And whoever will exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever will humble himself shall be exalted.


Jesus expects us to all serve. He expects apostles to serve. He expects prophets to serve. He expects pastors to serve. He expects evangelists to serve. He expects teachers to serve. Why? We are humbling ourselves when we serve. We are not dressing in expensive designer clothes and we are not sitting at the best tables at the church pot luck.


Mat 23:13  But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of Heaven before men; for you do not enter, nor do you allow those entering to go in.


It seems like a bad idea to follow people into hell, but the Pharisees and the Rabbi’s led their entire religion into hell. They kept all the people in Judaism in hell. Now think about this. Did Jesus know that this would happen. Yes. Does Jesus have a plan to amend this unfortunate set of circumstances forced on Jacob’s heirs. Yes. The heirs of Jacob will have an opportunity to confess Jesus and trust him during the millennial reign. They will not be leaders, kings, or priests. Those jobs are for the people who confess Jesus now. But these Pharisees have led their own people into hell. They have led their own mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, and nieces and nephews into hell. Nice guys. 


Mat 23:14  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour the houses of widows, and pray at length as a pretext. Because of this you will receive more abundant judgment.


The Pharisees stole the homes of widows under the pretext that as a widow she could not pay her tithe to them, so if they took her home she was free from the sin of not paying her tithe. The Pharisees were also making long boring prayers, to which they will now face a more abundant judgment. Isn’t it interesting that Satanas works so easily to distort Jesus’ words, it is almost like he heard Jesus preach them and decided to trick foolish people into doing the opposite. Jesus told people how to pray, translated this way:


Almighty Most High Eternal Father, sanctify Your name. Your kingdom shall come to earth. I invite Your will to be done on this earth as it is in the heavens. Give me sufficient food for the day. Write off my debts. I write off the debts of (list them) others. Do not let me be tested. Do not let the devil experiment with me or sport with me. Rescue me away from evil. Through You is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever, amen. 


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2019/03/rescue-us-actors-summoning-future-pray.html


Mat 23:15  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you go about the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte; and when he has become so, you make him twofold more a son of Hell than yourselves.


Satanas knew if the Pharisaical order didn’t grow then his future plans for infiltration into the religion of the heirs of Jacob would fail. So the Pharisees started traveling to synagogues to find suitable young men to become Pharisees. The young men they found became twice the sons of hell that the Pharisees were. What does this mean? Look into the future from the first century. The Pharisees killed Jesus, then the “Rabbi’s” altered the text to erase Jesus. The young proselyte’s grew up more zealous for their cult and did more to harm the gospel than anyone else, all while sentencing their own people to hell. 


Mat 23:16  Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the Holy Place, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the Holy Place is a debtor.

Mat 23:17  Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold, or the Holy Place that sanctifies the gold?


This is quite foolish as Jesus points out. The temple is the place that sanctifies everything. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ blood has sanctified us. What we wear or what we eat is not holier than our temple.


Mat 23:18  And you say, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift on it, he is a debtor.

Mat 23:19  Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

Mat 23:20  Then the one swearing by the altar swears by it, and by all things on it.

Mat 23:21  And the one swearing by the Holy Place swears by it, and by the One dwelling in it.

Mat 23:22  And the one swearing by Heaven swears by the throne of God, and by the One sitting on it.


We can see the idiocy of the Pharisees’ rules. Even if people were trying to emphasize what they were saying by swearing by the altar, or the gift on the altar, neither really is sin. We can imagine a couple of Jewish men arguing and attempting to out bid one another by swearing by the altar or the gift on the altar. But to make frivolous rules over which is greater, the altar or the gift on the altar, is really stupid. This is how Satanas gets us to spin in circles. Infiltration in useless arguments.


Mat 23:23  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and you have left aside the weightier matters of the Law: judgment, and mercy, and faith. It was right to do these, and not to have left those aside.

Mat 23:24  Blind guides, straining out the gnat, but swallowing the camel!


The Pharisees were paying their tithes in herbs but were not correct on judgment or in being merciful, and they lacked faith. Just because they paid their tithe did not mean that they should neglect the rest of the law, they were still obligated to fulfill the whole law. Satanas convinced the Pharisees that they did not have to have correct judgments, mercy, or faith, if they just paid their herb tithes. They are deceived.


Mat 23:25  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of robbery and excess.

Mat 23:26  Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside of them may become clean also.


Satanas has fooled many people into thinking that whatever they do on the outside of their body, that is clothing, jewelry, makeup, hair color, etc., is more important than what is on the inside which is a clean heart. We see popular movie stars and musicians who go for shock and trash rather than a clean heart. We should know how to discern what we are seeing, especially when these things creep into the church. Jesus was more concerned with the inside of a person, but Satanas only wants us to see the outside of a person. 


Mat 23:27  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened graves which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness.

Mat 23:28  So you also indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.


Jesus just told us what was on the inside of the Pharisees, death. Satanas likes death inside of people. People who are full of death are perfect tools because as Jesus said they appear righteous when they are not. It is a deception that fools a lot of people, just as Satanas fools people into thinking he has magical powers, but all he has is sleight of hand.


Mat 23:29  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous.

Mat 23:30  And you say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

Mat 23:31  So you witness to yourselves that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets.

Mat 23:32  And you fill up the measure of your fathers.


This is a very interesting statement Jesus is making. The Pharisees’ forefathers killed the prophets. The heirs of the murdering Pharisees, who are Pharisees themselves, say that they would not have killed the prophets as their fathers did. Jesus says that they are sons of murderers who killed the prophets yet they too are doing as much wrong and sinful deeds as their own fathers. 


Interestingly they are admitting that their own fathers were murderers, so one has to ask if they should actually be allowed to be Pharisees because it was the sins of their fathers that was against the Law of Moses. We would say that if one was a regular murderer then his progeny should not hold a leadership position in the community, so why are these people who killed prophets in charge of religion in Israel? If we pass down religious leadership positions like Kingships then we are not getting the best people for the Job. Remember Eli’s sons were both corrupt priests who inherited their position because of their father, yet they did not know Yahweh. 


Here again is another reason that we are not to trust the Pharisees and the heirs of the Pharisees. Jesus told us, we simply overlooked the depth of what he was saying. If Satanas can use corrupt people inside a religious order in several different ways then he can sway entire nations away from Yahweh. Today we see strange social events at our churches that Yahweh would not approve of and yet we say nothing and continue to attend as if we should celebrate evil. 


What if the defilement is a plan of Satanas to destroy as many believers in Christ as possible? Hasn’t it always been Satanas’ contention that humans are stupid and corrupt and that he himself can cause them to fall? What if there was an infiltration that was so deeply rooted into Judaism’s knowledge of Yahweh, by people who looked like they had the correct knowledge of Yahweh, but instead were working for Satanas, who were fully aware that they are working for Satanas, to cause as many humans to die eternally as possible? What if we never understood the roots of Satanism were not in its own temple with its own worshippers but within Pharisaical Judaism? Jesus just told us that the people who were spiritually leading Israel were sons of murderers. He told us that they look righteous and clean but are full of death. He told us that they are more interested in riches, positions, and power than in serving Yahweh’s people. How can we trust these people who then altered the written word of the Elohim to erase Jesus our Lord and Savior?


Mat 23:33  Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How shall you escape the judgment of Hell?


They will not escape the judgment of hell. They may actually think that they will be excused from hell because they are heirs of Jacob but in reality they say they are Jews but they are not. 


Mat 23:34  Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets and wise ones and scribes. And some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and will persecute from city to city;

Mat 23:35  so that should come on you all the righteous blood poured out on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah whom you murdered between the Holy Place and the altar.

Mat 23:36  Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation.


The Pharisees are going to bear all the sins from Abel through to Zechariah who they murdered. We don’t exactly know who this Zechariah is but we have a few good suggestions. 


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2016/09/blood-of-righteous-abel-righteous-to.html


Jesus says that all these things will come on this generation, all the murders, all the false religious rules, all the beatings of the new Christians, all of it is on their shoulders. Can we trust them to tell us the truth about Jesus? Can we trust them to tell us the truth about Yahweh? Can we trust them to tell us anything about the Elohim? No we cannot. 


Jesus continues in a lament for the city. He knows that the people who confess his name will be martyred. He knows that Christians will be hunted. He knows that the Pharisees who have all the power will find ways to erase his existence after they kill him. He also knows that Satanas will continue to infiltrate the religious orders, both Judaism and Christianity. Jesus even tells us all that Jerusalem is left desolate. 


Mat 23:37  Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her. How often I desired to gather your children in the way a bird gathers her chicks under her wings! And you did not desire it.

Mat 23:38  Behold, "your house is left to you desolate." Jer. 22:5

Mat 23:39  For I say to you, In no way shall you see Me from now on, until you say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." Psa. 118:26


The word desolate here means “deserted, or a desert, or waste”. How did the entire city of Jerusalem become a desolate waste? After the Zealots rose up against other Jews in a civil war the Romans ran everyone out of Jerusalem. The Zealots wanted to get rid of Roman rule over Jerusalem, but the regular people were not behind going to war with Rome, so the Zealots rose up against the laity to force people to become part of the army. They killed entire families for not complying. They also called on the Idumaeans to help them. People saw the city surrounded by Idumaeans and tried to escape. Regular people were killed along the roadways and their bodies left in the open to intimidate other people into becoming part of the Zealot army. The Zealot civil war on Jerusalem’s laity did not succeed. Eventually the Idumaeans realized that they were killing regular people and not people fighting against the actual Zealots and they left. Then after two years of this cvil war the Romans stepped in and banned all Jews from Jerusalem. They demolished the temple and they leveled the hill, the City of David, in 70 AD. The Romans further fortified the Fortress Antonia, and Jerusalem became desolate. 


Coming back to Psalm 46, the sons of Korah wrote a hidden or secret song. They tell us that our Elohim is our downward escape and our miracle power who we are to call upon when we are under pressure and we are being hunted. We have to understand the plans of Satanas. We have to understand how he has attempted to distort Christianity and how he did in fact distort Judaism. The Jews’ own Messiah was rejected by a a group of religious leaders who were working for Satanas. They sentenced their own people to hell. The Pharisees were not sent from Yahweh Elohim to educate the people and to teach the people like Moses did, they were established by Satanas to turn people away from the Messiah, the Messiah that came out of their father Jacob. Satanas wants to deceive people to keep them out of heaven. He knows that he only has a short time before the tribulation so it is no wonder the pressure is intensifying all over the earth. While Satanas does not know when Jesus will harpazo his people, he does know that it will happen. Can Korah’s sons help us here? 


“Into the fulfillment over the sons Korah over the hidden song.”

“The Elohim our downward escape and miracle power one to call on in pressure the vehemently searching us.”


Psalm 46:2 G1223 On account of G3778 this G3756 we shall not G5399 fear G1722 when G3588 the G5015 [2is disturbed G3588   G1093 1earth], G2532 and G3346 [2 are transposed G3735 1mountains] G1722 in G2588 the hearts G2281 of seas.


“On account of this no not at all fear in the agitation indeed and transport mountains in heart sea.”


When the earth shakes from earthquakes and when mountains fall we do not need to fear. Does the Lord know how to deliver the righteous out of trials? If we are hunted for being Christians then we do not need to fear, we have a downward escape. 


2Pe 2:9  then the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials and to hold unrighteous people for punishment on the day of judgment


Just like righteous Lot, Yahweh can deliver us out of bad situations. 


Psalm 46:3 G2278 [2sounded G2532 3and G5015 4were disturbed G3588   G5204 1Their waters]; G1473   G5015 [3were disturbed G3588 1the G3735 2mountains] G1722 by G3588   G2900.1 his force. G1473  


“Sounding and agitated the their waters agitated the mountains in the greatness his chanting.”


There are two words at the end of this sentence κραταιοτητι and διαψαλμα in the LXX-WH meaning “greatness” and “chanting”. Chanting is more literal coming from the word Selah. 


When there are earthquakes under the sea there are tsunami’s. We have become good at detecting tsunami’s, but we are not to fear. The sons of Korah are attributing these things to the greatness of the Elohim. The earth has birth pains, and is in travail.  


Rom 8:18  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.

Rom 8:19  For the creation is eagerly awaiting the revelation of God's children,

Rom 8:20  because the creation has become subject to futility, though not by anything it did. The one who subjected it did so in the certainty

Rom 8:21  that the creation itself would also be set free from corrupting bondage in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.

Rom 8:22  For we know that all the rest of creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.


Paul tells us that the creation is eagerly awaiting the revealing of the children of God, which is when we come back with Jesus on the Day of the Lord. That is the day when we are revealed. Then the creation is set free from the corrupting bondage. This is why the earth quakes and there are mountains shaking and tsunamis. The earth feels the effects of sin. Sin corrupts the earth. In the tribulation the earth will rise up against men during the trumpet judgments.


Psalm 46:4 G3588 [3of the G4215 4river G3588 1The G3731 2rapid movements] G2165 gladdens G3588 the G4172 city G3588   G2316 of God. G37 [3sanctified G3588   G4638 4his tent G1473   G3588 1The G5310 2highest].


“The river the rushing cheers the city the Elohim makes holy the His tabernacle the Highest. 


When the river increases its flow, the city is happy. The purification process of washing with the water of the laver was important to holiness. The increased water provided increased cleansing for purity. The Elohim sanctifies his tabernacle with the increase of waters. The people can rejoice with the increase of water, they can ceremonially be consecrated. If one is dependent on the flow of a stream for drinking, cooking, washing, and cleaning, certainly more water means more of all those things. 


Here comes a secret. The Elohim is in the middle of the people during the earths birth pains. Not in the middle of a group, in the middle of the individual.


Psalm 46:5 G3588   G2316 God G1722 is in G3319 the midst G1473 of her, G2532 and G3756 she shall not G4531 be shaken. G997 [2shall help G1473 3her G3588   G2316 1God] G3588   G4314 towards G4404 morning G4404 by morning.


“The Elohim in middle them no not oscillate the one to call on helps (boētheō) them the Elohim the towards early in the morning.” 


The Elohim is in the middle of his people. We call on Him for help he is our boētheō. Therefore he helps us at dawn. The secret is that he is with His sons and daughters. The Elohim is in the middle of his people, no matter where they are and no matter what nation they are in. This is something that Satanas could not plan for. He could not plan for Christ in us. He did not know that this would happen. It was a mystery that was a hidden secret. The Pharisees worked to keep Yahweh’s people ignorant of their Messiah, but today, anyone who calls on Jesus Christ as Lord and believes that he rose up on the third day has the Elohim inside them. They will not oscillate or be shaken.


Col 1:26  the mystery having been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His saints;

Col 1:27  to whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory;


Paul told us this was a mystery that had been hidden for ages and generations. The Elohim can keep a secret.


Psalm 46:6 G5015 [2were disturbed G1484 1Nations]; G2827 [2leaned G932 1kingdoms]; G1325 [3gave out G5456 4his voice G1473   G3588 1the G5310 2highest], G4531 [3shook G3588 1the G1093 2earth].


“Agitated ethnos, recline kingdoms give noise, his oscillate the earth indeed.”


The ethnos are nations and they are agitated. Kingdoms that were at rest shout out to the Elohim when he shook the earth. One time when this will happen is during the tribulation, but it happens periodically when the earth travails. Nations cry out to the Elohim, not knowing him because the Pharisees have tried to erase him from history. Over the years many people desired to know Yahweh Elohim, but he was not made known until Yahweh came to earth. Then the Christians were persecuted for making him known.


Psalm 46:7 G2962 The lord G3588 of the G1411 forces G3326 is with G1473 us; G483.1 [4 is our shielder G1473   G3588 1the G2316 2God G* 3of Jacob].


“Yahweh the miracle power among us perceives us the Elohim of Jacob; chanting.”


The secret song is that Yahweh, the miracle power among us, sees us. He is the God of Jacob. And as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob came to know Him anyone can come to know him. We need to understand that Abraham did not have the Law to follow, he simply followed Yahweh. Isaac did not have the Law to follow, but he was willing to lay his life down for Yahweh. Jacob did not have the Law to follow, but he served Yahweh the first fifty seven years of his life with Shem and Eber and then had a family that he taught about Yahweh. Yahweh is the God of Jacob but not necessarily the God of all Jacob’s children. As we know, throughout the years not all of Jacob’s heirs loved Yahweh the way that Jacob did. There is no automatic salvation for Jacobs’ heirs. 


Psalm 46:8 G1205 Come G2532 and G1492 see G3588 the G2041 works G3588   G2316 of God! G3739 what G5087 [2he made G5059 1miracles] G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth.


“Come on to see the work Yahweh who put wonders on the earth indeed.


The sons of Korah are inviting people to learn about the miracles that Yahweh did on the earth. The sea is held back. The sky doesn’t fall. The sun always rises. The moon cycles at twenty eight days. The earth is spiritually connected to humans. There is only one remedy to the earth travailing. It is not throwing money at politicians who will feed the angry climate gods our dollars. It is not giving corporations money to make unsustainable products. The remedy is the revealing of the sons of God. The only way to fix the earth is to fix humans. This is another secret hidden in this song.


Psalm 46:9 G465.3 Taking away [2in return G4171 1wars] G3360 unto G3588 the G4009 ends G3588 of the G1093 earth. G5115 [2 the bow G4937 1He shall break], G2532 and G4787.2 he shall break in pieces G3696 the weapon; G2532 and G2375 the shields G2618 he shall incinerate G1722 with G4442 fire.


“Counterpart battle as far as the extremity indeed bow break in pieces and a stone put against a door burn down in fire.” 


The word ανταναιρων translates as “counterpart” or “retainer”. A counterpart can mean an opposite while a retainer can be a servant, it is literally translated “downward airs”. This tells us more than we think. Air is an element and an aspect of incorporeal beings. Satanas is an incorporeal being, air aether, fire, and or light. Using the prefix kata, we see the motion of downward. There is a battle with the counterpart or the retainer, or the one who fell downward as air, as far as the extremity of earth. The sons of Korah are pointing out the battle on the earth as far as the extremities of earth. They say break the bow in pieces and they say put a stone against the door and burn down with fire. They are suggesting to trap the counterpart in with a stone against the door and burn down the house with fire. This is intense. The fact that they are pointing out the incorporeal Satanas is another secret in this song. 


We know that this will ultimately take place on the Day of the Lord. We know that Satanas will be bound for one thousand years, and then after the millennial kingdom he will be loosed. He will then be thrown into the Lake of fire. We know his end. He knows his end. Burn him down.


Psalm 46:10 G4980 Relax, G2532 and G1097 know G3754 that G1473 I G1510.2.1 am G3588   G2316 God! G5312 I shall be raised up high G1722 in G3588 the G1484 nations. G5312 I shall be raised up high G1722 in G3588 the G1093 earth.


“Take a holiday and come to know that I, I Am the Elohim lifted up in the ethnos, lifted up in the earth indeed.


After we burn the house down with Satanas in it, we are to take a holiday. We rest and know that Yahweh is the I Am. Yahweh is the Elohim lifted up in the nations and in the earth. This is another secret that we don’t see revealed until John records it for us in John 8, Jesus says that he is the I AM.


Joh (Cepher) 8:58  Yahusha said unto them: Amein, Amein, I say unto you, Before Avraham was, I AM.


Jesus was the one that Moses spoke to on the mountain. Jesus was the one who walked with Abraham as a friend. Jesus told the Pharisees who he was and they wanted to stone him. They had infiltrated Jerusalem with tentacles throughout Israel and the surrounding nations and they were not going to let Jesus remove them from their positions.  


Psalm 46:11 G2962 The lord G3588 of the G1411 forces G3326 is with G1473 us; G483.1 [4 is our shielder G1473   G3588 1the G2316 2God G* 3of Jacob].


“Yahweh the miracle working power middle us perceives us the Elohim Jacob.”


Yahweh the dunamis is in the midst of us, he sees us. He knows us. He loves us. What a wonderful secret. The Pharisees never told people that Yahweh loved them. The Pharisees told people they were never good enough. Think about it, Yahweh sees us. He knows what is going on around us. He is in the middle of us, or truly he is in us. This was a secret that was revealed by Paul after Jesus was crucified. Yet the sons of Korah told us that Yahweh was in the middle of us so many years before. 


We can see how Satanas’ infiltration into Judaism and Christianity works. We can be smarter than they are because it is Christ in us. The Elohim is our miracle power and our escape. When the earth oscillates we do not need to fear, the extra water cleanses and purifies us. Yahweh sees us but the counterpart brings war to the extremities of the earth. Shove the enemy in a house, close it up with a stone, and set it on fire. Then take a rest knowing that Yahweh Jesus Christ is the I AM. He will be lifted up on the earth and in the nations. He sees us, he is in us.
