In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 20; however I continue to discuss the First Resurrection. Before I get into the study, I talk about Rabbi Levi Slonim who gave an opening prayer at the White House Congress. I talk about his mentor Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, who in 1990 ask Benjamin Netanyahu, “to hurry up and bring in the Messiah”. This Rabbi is also a follower of the Kabbalah, which is a type of Jewish Mysticism. I then compare the writings of Freemasonry to Kabbalah.
In our last study as we continue in Chapter 20 with verses 14 thru 6, we read about the First Resurrection. In this study, I would like to go into the First Resurrection some more.
6 a thousand years. = "This is the first resurrection"; or, this completes the first resurrection. There is an Ellipsis of the verb in this sentence; and we may supply completes, having in mind the several resurrections which shall before then have taken place.
Before I go any further allow me to explain what an ‘Ellipsis’ is. El-lip´-sis. This is the Greek word ἔλλειψις, a leaving in, from ἐν (en) in, and λείπειν (leipein) to leave.
'The figure of speech is called, because some gap is left in the sentence, which means that a word or words are left out or omitted.
The figure is a peculiar form given to a passage when a word or words are omitted; words which are necessary for the grammar but are not necessary for the sense. The laws of geometry declare that there must be at least three straight lines to enclose a space. So the laws of syntax declare that there must be at least three words to make complete sense, or the simplest complete sentence. These three words are variously named by grammarians. In the sentence “Thy word is truth,” “Thy word” is the subject spoken of, “truth” is what is said of it (the predicate), and the verb “is” (the copula) connects it.
But any of these three may be dispensed with; and this law of syntax may be rightfully broken by Ellipsis.
Here, again, we have two things standing in related contrast, the "first" and the "new": i.e., the new, and the one that immediately precedes it; the former, and not the "first." For, the present "heavens and the earth which are now" (2 Pet 3:7) are not the first. For Scripture tells us of three, of which the present is the second. In 2 Pet 3:6-7, 13, we read of the first — the world that "then was" (Gen 1:1); of the second — "the heavens and the earth which are now"; and of the third — "a new heavens and a new earth," for which we now look. This (second of three) is what is called in Rev 21:1 the "first" of the latter two.
Therefore this "first resurrection" is the former of the two mentioned in this verse: and not the calling on high of Phil 3:14, or the resurrection of 1 Thess 4:16-17. This special resurrection (1 Thess 4:16) must be carefully distinguished from that which is called the "first resurrection" in Rev 20:6. The word "first" in 1 Thess 4:16 does not refer to "the first resurrection" so called in Rev 20:6, but merely records the order of events, and simply states that "the dead in the Messiah" will "rise first"; i.e., before the taking up of either them or the living saints.
The resurrection of 1 Thess 4:16 is not the resurrection of Rev 20:6. It was never revealed in the Old Testament; but was a special revelation made "by the word of the Lord" to Paul; and by Paul to the Thessalonian saints and to the Church of Yahweh.

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.
The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible.
Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ (Deut. 18:17-18,).
Let’s continue our study in Exodus Chapter 4 Verses 1. I also read from The Legends of the Old Testament and Book of The Gods.
Verses 1-9 Moses third difficulty: the Israelites may not believe his message from freedom
Verses 2-5 the first sign
Verses 6-8 the second sign
1 Why? Because their gods are wiser and more powerful than the Elohim of Moses. Some scholars claim that there is app. 2000 gods in Egyptian myth!
2 a rod = Jewish legend has woven marvelous tales around the Rod of Moses. It was probably only a shepherd’s crook. What a history, however, awaited it! It was to be stretched out, over the Red Sea, pointing a pathway through its depths; to smite the flinty rock; to win victory over the host of Amalek; to be known as the rod of Yahweh.
3 and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent = not in appearance only, but in reality, it was changed into a real living serpent;
Keep in mind that the word for serpent is ‘nachash’ meaning ‘shinning one’; it was the symbol of royal and divine power in the diadem worn by Pharaoh. The meaning of this miracle seems to be Pharaoh’s own power shall become an instrument of punishment and his enslaved enemy shall triumph.
Keep in mind this action by Yahweh was to show that He was more powerful then their serpent gods, Apophis or Apep, Mehen, Nehebkau.
Apophis ( Apepi, Apep )
Egyptian snake god and personified darkness, evil and the forces of chaos. Apophis was the eternal enemy of Ra and cosmic order. Each night he did battle with Ra on his journey through the underworld on the barque of the sun, and each night Ra triumphed to be reborn at dawn in the east.
Mehen
An Egyptian serpent god. He defends the solar barque during Ra's nightly passage through the underworld. Usually shown as a snake coiled about the barque.
Nehebkau (Nehebu-Kau, Nehebkhau)
Egyptian snake god of the underworld. Represented either as a serpent with human arms and legs or with a man's body, holding the eye of Horus.
4 put forth thy hand = snake charmers usually take hold of snakes by the neck to prevent them biting. It is much more dangerous to seize them by the tail. The living serpent becomes a staff by the will of Yahweh. Pharaoh can be overcome like the serpent.
Caught it = ‘khaw-zak'’ stiffened it. Same word as ‘hardened’ Pharaoh’s heart.
5 Signifying that He is not the Yahweh of the dead, but of the Living. Keep in mind that the Egyptians were probably aware of the works of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This was to remind the Egyptians of the power of the Hebrew Yahweh over their gods of Egypt.

In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 20 verses 4 thru 6. Before I get into the study, I discuss the events of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, but more important who owns the building that the shooter was on.
We continue with this Chapter 20 with Yahweh’s judgments against those on the earth. The outcome of the first of these final five judgments is the binding of Satan. The judgment of the Beast and the False Prophet and their Confederacy is not enough. The one who planned all, and used all for the accomplishment of his purposes, must now be dealt with. The chief instigator of all the evil must now be deprived of all further opportunity of attempting to frustrate the counsels and purposes of Yahweh. He has been cast out of heaven: he must now be cast out of the earth.
When Satan (the devil) lost his place in heaven, he still continued to have some power over the earth. He also had power in hell; in Revelation 9:1, he has the key of the abyss, the worst part of hell. Revelation 9:11 calls him by names that mean ‘the destroyer’.
In Revelation 19:17-21, we read about the great battle at Armageddon. The devil’s forces will fight against Yahshua Messiah for control over the earth. In that battle, the devil will suffer complete defeat. He will lose all his power on earth, so that The Messiah’s rule on earth will begin.
At the same time, the devil will also suffer a similar defeat in the spirit world. That is clear because in Revelation 20:1, the devil no longer has control over the abyss. He has lost even his power in hell. Now an angel who is a servant of Yahweh holds the key to the abyss. The devil has become his prisoner, and he will remain in that place for 1000 years.
In our last study we started this Chapter 20 with verses 1 thru 3 with Satan’s punishment. I started this verse 4 last week and I will continue with the thought on this verse 4.
In this 4th verse we see the third, or central judgment of the last five differs from the two that precede and follow it, in that it is a judgment of vindication and award, and not of condemnation and punishment.
And they sat upon them = Who sat on them is not mentioned. The natural construction is, that “judges” sat on them, or that persons sat on them to whom judgment was entrusted.
And judgment was given unto them = The power of pronouncing sentence in the case referred to was conferred on them, and they proceeded to exercise that power.
And I saw the souls of them = This is a very important expression in regard to the meaning of the whole passage. John says he saw “the souls” - not “the bodies.”
That were beheaded = It properly means, “to axe,” that is, to hew or cut with an axe.
Side note: Beheading was the standard way that the Roman government of John’s Day carried out capital punishment against criminals who were Roman citizens. Therefore, one may understand “beheaded” in verse 4 as a symbol for being “executed by the ruling government “.
5 The rest of the dead = In contradistinction from the beheaded martyrs, and from those who had kept themselves pure in the times of great temptation.
lived not again = That is, they “lived” not during that period in the special sense in which it is said verse 4 that the well-known saints and martyrs lived.
thousand years should be finished. = or completed
6 Blessed = Happy. And holy; he was holy,
The first resurrection = Supposed to be that of the martyrs, mentioned above.
The second death - Punishment in the eternal world; such is the acceptation of the phrase among the ancient Jews.
Hath no power = ‘echo oo ex-oo-see-ah· Hath no authority - no dominion over him.

In this week’s study, I start in Chapter 20. Before I get into the study, I discuss what ‘Woke America’ is all about
We continue with this Chapter 20 with Yahweh’s judgments against those on the earth. The outcome of the first of these final five judgments is the binding of Satan. The judgment of the Beast and the False Prophet and their Confederacy is not enough. The one who planned all, and used all for the accomplishment of his purposes, must now be dealt with. The chief instigator of all the evil must now be deprived of all further opportunity of attempting to frustrate the counsels and purposes of Yahweh. He has been cast out of heaven: he must now be cast out of the earth.
When Satan lost his place in heaven, he still continued to have some power over the earth. He also had power in hell; in Revelation 9:1, he has the key of the abyss, the worst part of hell. Revelation 9:11 calls him by names that mean ‘the destroyer’.
In Revelation 19:17-21, we read about the great battle at Armageddon. In that battle, the devil’s forces will fight against Yahshua Messiah for control over the earth. In that battle, the devil will suffer complete defeat.
At the same time, the devil will also suffer a similar defeat in the spirit world. That is clear because in verse 1, the devil no longer has control over the abyss. He has lost even his power in hell. Now an angel who is a servant of Yahweh holds the key to the abyss. The devil has become his prisoner, and he will remain in that place for 1000 years. That is, the same period as the Messiah’s rule on earth in.
1. And I saw an angel descending out of heaven, = This is another transition. In this case, we go from seeing Yahweh deal with His human opponents on earth to seeing Yahweh deal with his opponents in the spiritual realm. This angel is coming down to earth because that’s where Satan had been cast down.
having the key of bottomless pit, = The fact that he has the key to that underworld is designed to signify here, that he can fasten it on Satan so that it shall become his prison.
and a great chain in his hand. = With which to bind the dragon. It is called great because of the strength of him that was to be bound.
(2) And he laid hold on = Seized him by violence.“the employment of strength” or “force”; and it implies that he had power superior to that of the dragon.
the old serpent, = This is undoubtedly an allusion to the serpent that deceived our first parents and therefore a proof that it was Satan that, under the form of a serpent, deceived them
which is the Devil, = On the meaning of this word, see Matthew 4:1. “Then was Yahshua led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.” This word originally means an adversary, or an accuser
and Satan, = the accuser, that is, the devil. Satan, however powerful he may be, desired to be like Yahweh (Ezk. 28; 2 Thess 4), but he is “only” an angel and apparently not even the most powerful of angels.
and bound him a thousand years, = This is the period usually designated as the millennium - for the word “millennium” means “a thousand years.”
(3) And cast him into the bottomless pit = A state of peace and success would exist as if Satan, the great disturber, were confined in the nether world as a prisoner.
and shut him up, = And shut him up - Closed the massive doors of the dark prison-house upon him.
And set a seal upon him = Or, rather, “upon it”. The seal was placed upon the “door” or “gate” of the prison, not because this would fasten the gate or door of itself, and make it secure, for this was secured by the key, but because it prevented intrusion, or any secret opening of it without its being known.

In this week’s study, I finish up in Chapter 19. Before I get into the study, I discuss some on the Lucifer doctrine within the Freemasonry. I also share an article about Pope Francis and his Lucifer connection.
Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.
Here in chapter 19, the bowls continue with a resumption of the seventh bowl event. That is, chapter 19 picks up where we left off at the end of chapter 16. The sixth bowl event in Rev 16:12-16 described nations gathering at Armageddon to make war against Yahweh, and then the seventh bowl event began in Rev 16:17-21 with an enormous earthquake and hail storm. However, it curiously never mentioned the outcome of the war. That glaring deficiency is resolved here in chapter 19.
This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh’s wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh’s wrath would be finished in the bowls.
Now here is the scene. The armies of the antichrist have surrounded Jerusalem, prepared to engage with their mortal enemy, the warrior king who obviously contests the beast’s authority as ruler of the world. Now, there is a possibility—we cannot be dogmatic about this—but there is a possibility that by now the Lord has already returned to the earth and that he is in Jerusalem. Perhaps the army of the redeemed, perhaps we will still be hovering in the sky with the heavenly hosts. We don’t know. But whatever the circumstances are, we see that the beast with his vast military might have assembled themselves together here at Megiddo and they are fully intent on engaging the rider of the white horse.
19. And I saw the beast = That beast system of Chapter 13
That sat = Who sitteth.
on. = ‘epi’ upon
Against him that sat on the horse = Yahshua The Messiah - the Son of Yahweh.
And against his army - The hosts that are associated with him - his redeemed people.
20. And the Beast was taken, = These two shall receive special treatment, as described in the next verse. That is, was taken alive, to be thrown into the lake of fire.
and with him the False Prophet = As they had been practically associated together, there was a decency that they should share the same fate
who wrought the miracles before him = That is, the false prophet had been united with the beast in deceiving the nations of the earth.
with which he deceived those that had received the mark of the Beast, = as written in Rev. 13:16-18. By these miracles they had been deceived
and those who worshipped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire = The beast and the false prophet.
which burneth with brimstone. = the usual expression to denote intense heat, and especially as referring to the punishment of the wicked. See Rev. 14:10.
(21) And the remnant = The remainder of the assembled hosts - the army at large, in contradistinction from the leaders. The battle of Armageddon will be very quick and one-sided.
were killed with the sword = Cut down with the sword
of him that sitteth upon the horse = The Messiah, verse 11
which sword proceedeth out of his mouth: = see verse 15. That is, they were cut down by a word.

Moses was the prototype of the Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point
Let’s continue our study in Exodus Chapter 3 Verses 18-22. I also read from The Legends of the Old Testament and Book of The Gods
18 the Yahweh Elohim of the Hebrews = as distinct from the gods of the Egyptian
and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness = the wilderness of Sinai and Arabia, and to Mount Horeb in it
20 And I will stretch out my hand = “shâlach” “shaw-lakh'” “shin-lamed-chet” “Aleph-Tav”
Shin =(two front teeth) sharp, press, eat two
Lamed = lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind
Chet = (tent wall) outside, divide half
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
By Elohim stretching forth His hand with that Shepards staff, we see the sharpness of His power, dividing the bondage of the Egyptians and His people Elohim is always in control
Smite = “nâkâh” “naw-kaw'” “nun-kaph-hey) (Aleph-Tav)
Nun = (seed) continue, heir, son
Kaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame
hey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breath
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
The Hebrew letter ‘nun’ is a picture of a seed, whereas ‘kaph’ is a picture of the palm of the hand. Combined these mean "seed in the palm". Seeds of certain plants were placed in the palm and rubbed with the thumb to a powdery spice. Therefore we have Elohim destroying the seed of Egypt
21 People = “‛am” “am” “ayin-mem” “aleph-tav”
Ayin = (eye) watch, know, shade (this letter is basically silent)
Mem = (water) chaos, blood, mighty
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
The letter ‘ayin’ is a picture of the eye, the letter ‘mem’ is a picture of the sea representing mass. Combined these mean "see a mass". A large group of people in one location. When you look at the several meaning of these Hebrew letters, what I find unique here is that Elohim uses chaos against the Egyptian gods, the Passover blood and the fact that He leads His people through the Nile River
22 Every woman shall borrow = This is certainly not a very correct translation: the original word ‘shaal’ signifies simply to ask, request, demand, require, inquire, etc.;
Ye shall spoil the Egyptians = The verb ‘natsal’ signifies, not only to spoil, snatch away, but also to get away, to escape, to deliver, to regain, or recover. Spoil signifies what is taken by violence; but this cannot be the meaning of the original word here, as the Israelites only asked, and the Egyptians without fear, terror, or constraint, freely gave
“nun-tsade-lamed” “Aleph-tav”
Nun = (seed) continue, heir, son
Tsade = (trail) journey, chase, hunt, man on his side
Lamed = lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
Only by the power of Elohim, were the Israelites able to do this

In this week’s study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 17 and 19. Before I get into the study, I discuss David Spangler, who is the Director of Planetary Initiative for the United Nations, member of the Lucis Trust as well as a Freemason and an Outspoken Luciferian.
Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.
Here in chapter 19, the bowls continue with a resumption of the seventh bowl event. That is, chapter 19 picks up where we left off at the end of chapter 16. The sixth bowl event in Rev 16:12-16 described nations gathering at Armageddon to make war against Yahweh, and then the seventh bowl event began in Rev 16:17-21 with an enormous earthquake and hail storm. However, it curiously never mentioned the outcome of the war. That glaring deficiency is resolved here in chapter 19.
This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh’s wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh’s wrath would be finished in the bowls.
In our last study we finished in verse 16 where John ended his 6th vision of the heavens. Now beginning with verse 17, John attention is returned to the events on this earth.
In Revelation 19:7-9, we read about the great meal in heaven for the marriage of the Lamb. That will be the happiest and most wonderful occasion.
As it happens a great meal of a very different kind is happening on earth. This event upon the earth is truly awful. The antichrist has gathered the world’s rulers with their armies to fight against Yahshua Messiah. The defeat of antichrist’s forces is a complete defeat, and very terrible.
Now here is the scene. The armies of the antichrist have surrounded Jerusalem, prepared to engage with their mortal enemy, the warrior king who obviously contests the beast’s authority as ruler of the world.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the Sun; = An angel proclaimed the fall of Babylon, and now an angel proclaims the destruction of the Beast and his confederacy.
in the sun = so as to be eye-catching in sight of the whole world. This is a mild transition, not away from this scene, but to make a new declaration about this scene.
and gather yourselves = Now imagine the terror of this scene. Imagine if you were a soldier and you were assembled on that battlefield and suddenly you saw that and heard that.
But notice. This is the insult of all insults. Here the angel doesn’t even address the antichrist, doesn’t even address the vast military forces, but rather he summons the vultures to come to supper, and their corpses will be the main dish. This is the ultimate disgrace to say, “You are about to become rotten flesh for the birds.”
together unto Yahweh's great supper; = The “great supper” given to the birds shall be the unburied dead, indicating a quick, massive, and disgraceful slaughter.
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings = Of the kings under the control of the beast and the false prophet.
And the flesh of captains = Of those secondary to kings in command. The Greek word is χιλιάρχων chiliarchōn - denoting captains of a thousand, or, as we should say, commanders of a regiment.
And the flesh of mighty men = The word here means “strong,” and the reference is to the robust soldiery - rank and file in the army.

In this week’s study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 12 thru 16. Before I get into the study, I discuss the Albert Pike and how he states that Lucifer is their light giver. I define Lucifer and how the Global Elite under his leadership.
Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.
Here in chapter 19, the bowls continue with a resumption of the seventh bowl event. That is, chapter 19 picks up where we left off at the end of chapter 16. The sixth bowl event in Rev 16:12-16 described nations gathering at Armageddon to make war against Yahweh, and then the seventh bowl event began in Rev 16:17-21 with an enormous earthquake and hail storm. However, it curiously never mentioned the outcome of the war. That glaring deficiency is resolved here in chapter 19.
This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh’s wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh’s wrath would be finished in the bowls.
In our last study we finished in verse 11 where John saw a new vision, as if an opening were made through the sky, and he was permitted to look into heaven. Remember when we read in Chapter 4:1; “After this I looked and behold ‘a door was opened in heaven”.
John does not tell us who the ruler of heaven’s armies is. However, there is never really any uncertainty. Yahweh’s people know who leads them (John 10:1-10). They know that Yahshua Messiah alone can save them.
So John continues his special description of The Messiah as the judge and the leader of heaven’s armies. The description of The Messiah’s eyes is the same as in the earlier description (Revelation 1:14). They burn like fire; he sees everything, he knows everything. Nobody can stand against him.
Yahshua Messiah wears many diadems. The diadem was a band that went round a king’s hat. So, The Messiah’s diadems show his royal rank and his great authority.
14 A ruler shows his power by means of the army that he commands. In the same manner, Yahshua Messiah leads heaven’s armies into this last great battle. These are not armies of men, but of spirits; they are the angels, Yahweh’s special servants. They will fight this battle upon the earth, but their principal enemy is also a spirit and not a man. That enemy is the devil, Satan and the purpose of this battle is to defeat all his evil forces. However, we may ask why Yahshua Messiah needs an army to support him. He is Yahweh, so he has all power. So he could fight and win this battle alone, without any help from anyone.
15 John continues his special description of Yahshua Messiah as the ruler of heaven’s armies.
A ruler’s greatest power is in the power of his words. He achieves things by his commands. That is also true about Yahweh. It was by his word that Yahweh created all things (Genesis chapter 1). It will be by his word that Yahshua Messiah will defeat the devil and all his forces (Revelation 19:21).
That is the meaning of the sword from the Messiah’s mouth, both here and in Revelation 1:16. Yahweh’s word has great power (Hebrews 4:12). Unlike the words of a human ruler, however, Yahweh does not depend on anyone else’s strength to carry out his purposes. Yahweh’s word is enough. Even when Yahshua Messiah was on earth, the power of his words astonished people (Matthew 8:8; Mark 1:27; Mark 4:39-41).

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.
The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible.
Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ (Deut. 18:17-18,).
Let’s begin our study in Exodus Chapter 3 Verses 11-17
Moses First Difficulty: He is Unsuited for His Mission
11 who am I = How different was Moses attitude in his youth! With age, Moses can only think of his own unfitness for the gigantic undertaking.
Moses’ Second Difficulty: The ‘NAME’ of Yahweh
13 when I come = i.e. assuming that I come
14 I AM THAT I AM = “Ehyeh asher ehyeh” the self existent and eternal Yahweh;
"hâyâh” “haw-yaw'” “'ăsher” “ash-er'” "hâyâh” “haw-yaw'”
hey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breath
Yod = (arm and closed hand) work, throw, worship
hey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breath
Aleph= (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Shin =(two front teeth) sharp, press, eat two
resh = (head of a Man)front, head, chief, first, top, beginning
I AM = ‘ehyeh” I will be [speaking of Himself]
15 The Lord = This is the translation of the Divine Name written in the four Hebrew letters ‘YHWH’ and is pronounced ‘Yahweh’. This Divine Name of four letters – the Tetragammaton – come from the same Hebrew root (hayah) as ‘Ehyeh; to ‘to be’. It gives the expression to the fact that He was, He is and He ever will be. [compare to Rev. 1:8 where it reads, ‘I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.’]
16 and gather = “'âsaph” “aw-saf'” Here we have “aleph-samech-pey” “Aleph-Tav”
Aleph= (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Samech = (thorn) grab, hate protect
Pey = (mouth) blow, scatter, edge
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
The thorn represents a turning, whereas the letter ‘pey’ is a picture of a mouth. Combined these mean "turning mouth". The rim, or lips of the bowl, which circle around it. The bowl is used for gathering things together and for eating. Wherefore Moses (being a strong leader) is instructed by Elohim (aleph-tav) and gather up the elders and speak the words of Elohim to lead the people out of bondage (thorns)
17 I will bring you up = “‛âlâh” “aw-law'” “aleph-lamed-hey” Aleph-Tav”
Aleph= (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind
hey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breath
Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
The lifting of the yoke onto the shoulder. One taken into exile is placed in the yoke for transport and the yoke of bondage. It was a common practice to strip the clothes off of those taken into exile. So we see that that it is Elohim that will do the actually lifting and taking off that yoke of bondage, even though Moses is leading the people.

In this week’s study, I continue with Chapter 19 verses 9 thru 11. Before I get into the study, I discuss the Satanic Bible, Satanism, the 9 Satanic Statements, the 11 Satanic rules for the earth, and the 9 Satanic sins.
Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all seven bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.
This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh’s wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh’s wrath would be finished in the bowls.
We continue our study in John’s description of the Great Marriage Supper with the Lamb.
In this verse 9, of Chapter 19, the same angel of verse 6, goes on to describe, not merely the array of the Bride, but the blessedness of those who shall be called to the marriage.
This angel was the special servant of Yahweh who showed John everything in the Book of Revelation. He acted as John’s guide through all these events and places (Revelation 22:8).
Here in Revelation 19:9, the angel had a special message which he urged John to emphasize in his book. They had now reached one of the most important events in the future: the marriage of the Lamb. The Lamb means Yahshua Messiah; his people are his bride.
That marriage will be a wonderful event. Yahweh will join them together as one (Ephesians 5:31- 32); and nothing will ever be able to separate them from The Messiah’s love (Romans 8:38-39). It will be an occasion for great joy (Revelation 19:7); Yahshua Messiah compared it to a great meal (Matthew 22:1-14; Matthew 25:10; Luke 14:15-24).
Write, "Blessed are they that are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." = The idea of a festival, or a marriage-supper, was a familiar one to the Jews to represent the happiness of heaven, and is frequently found in the New Testament. Compare the Luke 14:15-16; 16:22; 22:16; Matthew 22:2.
And he saith to me, "These are the true words of Yahweh." = Other words YOU CAN COUNT ON IT! Confirming all by a serious declaration.
10 John must now confess to a terrible error that he made. The angels are Yahweh’s special servants. They are impressive and powerful, as such passages as Joshua 5:13-15 and Luke 2:9 show.
And I fell down at his feet to worship him. = At = the Greek should read ‘Before”. Twenty-four times is the word (pros-koo-neh'-o) (proskuneo) used in the Apocalypse for worship, and we should point out that when followed by the Accusative case it means merely to do homage or obeisance to another, as from man to man. When used with the Dative case it means to worship with Divine honor.
I am thy fellow-servant = Evidently this was an angel, and yet this angel speaks of himself as a “fellow-servant” of John. That is, he was engaged in the service of the same Yahweh; he was endeavoring to advance the same cause, and to honor the same Redeemer.
And of thy brethren = Of other Christians; for all are engaged in the same work.
That have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = Who are witnesses for the Saviour.
For the testimony of Yahshua Messiah = The meaning here seems to be, that this angel, and John, and their fellow-servants, were all engaged in the same work that of bearing their testimony to Yahshua Messiah.
