Angels-Did Angels Marry Women?

Did Angels Marry Women?

 

Introduction

Some believe that angels married women in Genesis 6, while others do not believe this. This question is easily answered from the text.

 

 

 

The Text

Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they are fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3And Yehovah said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which are of old, men of renown. 5And God saw that the wickedness of man is great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart is only evil continually.

 

The literal rendering of this text is as follows:

 

Genesis 6:1 And it was when the adam began to multiply upon the faces of the soil and daughters were born to them. 2And the sons of the Gods saw the daughters of the adam that they are good. And they took for themselves wives from all which they chose. 3And Yehovah said, “My spirit shall not strive with adam to hidden-time in that he indeed is flesh. And his days shall be an hundred and twenty year[s]. 4The fallen ones were in the land in those days. And also after that when the sons of the Gods came unto the daughters of the adam and they shall be born to them. They are the valiant-ones who from hidden-time are men of the Name. 5And God saw that the wickedness of man is great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart is only evil daily.

 

The literal rendering will give us much information. The description starts out referring to the adam, which can and often does refer to the race of man. He began to multiply upon the faces of the soil (all over the place). Daughters were born to them. Thus there is a time of rapid reproduction.

 

The term Gods is usually plural. It is the Hebrew Elohim, which means Gods, and which takes a singular verb. It is used in exactly the same form, however, when referring to false gods, though it is modified with a plural adjective. While God is one, He is every true God that there is; any other god is a false god.

 

Who are these sons of the Gods? The following texts are the only ones using the expression sons of God in the Bible:

 

Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they are fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

 

Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which are of old, men of renown.

 

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yehovah, and Satan came also among them.

 

Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yehovah, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yehovah.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

 

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, to them that believe on his name:

 

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

 

Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

 

Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

 

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

 

From these texts, scholars have figured that the “Old Testament” usage is for angels, while the “New Testament” usage is for those who are born of God. Therefore they concluded that the expression in Genesis must refer to angels. The term son of God is used 47 times, and always refers either to deity or to the Messiah Himself.

 

 

 

Are Angels Able to Reproduce?

Matthew 22:29 Yeshua answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

 

Mark 12:24 And Yeshua answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels which are in heaven.

 

These two texts prove that angels are not capable of marrying or being given in marriage. The Bible also teaches,

 

Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed is in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good… 20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good… 24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

 

Every creature bears seed after its own kind. This is true of every reproductive creature which was originally created. Angelic reproduction is not Biblical. Angels were created before these events. There is no indication that angels have ever born children or have had such a capability. In mythology, angelic beings and gods and goddesses can have children. The Bible is not a book of myths. If male angels had the capability to marry female humans, female angels (like Sheol) would be able to marry male humans. And female angels could have babies with male angels.

 

The term sons of God shows the relationship between the word the word son in Hebrew (ben) and the word build (banah). Yehovah has built these beings, and he also builds those who are human and who become the sons of God. The difference is described in the Bible. Humans can have salvation, whereas angels either remained loyal or refused to do so at the eternal consequence.

 

 

 

Who are the Giants?

The literal rendering shows that the word giants is actually fallen ones ( with different dotting is , fallen ones, and the dottings are not inspired or infallible). There is no indication that they were giants, though they may have been largely built. The word is directly from the Hebrew for fall. These fallen ones, ones who had nothing to do with Yehovah, came about as the verse described: “the sons of the Gods came unto the daughters of the adam, and they shall be born to them.” There was an intermarriage between male saints (sons of God) and female non-saints (daughters of the adam). The children tend to the faith of the mother much more than the faith of the father since she nourishes them and is with them more of the time, and her faith has a weaker standard. The result was a decline in the proportion of those in faith (just as there is today) until finally only one man on the face of the earth (Noah) was Godly.

 

 

 

Who are the Mighty Men, the Men of Renown?

A literal rendering again makes this clear: “They (the sons of God) are the valiant-ones who are men of the Name from Hider.” The term men of the Name indicates that they identified with the Name, the Name Yehovah. Texts before this stated, “then men began to call upon the Name Yehovah” (Genesis 4:26b). Thus they were men of the Name.

 

 

 

Another Detail

If angels had children via women, there is no reason to believe that these children would be capable of death, and certainly not death by a flood. The Scriptures refer to men dying, never angels. How strange it would be for this assault by Yehovah to be described in detail without one word regarding angels. Yehovah’s anger is toward man, not toward any angelic hosts.

 

 

 

Angels and Human Forms

Angels often appear in human forms. This does not mean that they have sexual equipment, livers, intestines, kidneys or a gall bladder. Angels can look like other creatures, but Yehovah must equip them in this way in order for them to sexually behave like these creatures. There is no indication of this being done.
I mentioned about a female angel. The text for this is found in Isaiah:

 

Isaiah 5:14 Therefore Sheol hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure. And their glory and their multitude and their pomp and he who rejoices shall descend into her.

 

Sheol is an angel as seen in the Book of the Revelation:

 

Revelation 6:8 And I looked. And behold, a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Death. And Hades (Greek for Sheol) followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth to kill with sword and with hunger and with death and with the beasts of the earth.
Genders do not denote sexually reproductive possibilities in the Hebrew. All nouns carry a masculine or feminine gender. A hammer is of one gender, and it cannot reproduce.

 

 

 

Conclusion

There is no evidence of a half angelic half human creature, nor of the judgment of such a creature. This is strictly a mythological, occultic and extrabiblical belief, though widely held. There is more possibility for a human to have sexual intercourse with an ape and produce a half-human half-ape creature, and this is not possible because of the genetics. There is no indication that spirits (which angels are) have any genes (which are physical).

Head Coverings

What Does the Bible Say about Head Coverings?

Introduction

I will give a literal rendering of the text. After this, I will have a series of questions and proposed answers for your consideration.

The Text

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me according as I am also of Messiah. 2Now I commend you, brethren, that ye have remembered me in all things. And ye keep the guardings according as I delivered to you. 3But I wish you to know that the Messiah is the head of every man and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Messiah. 4Every man praying or prophesying having, on the head, puts his Head to shame. 5But every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered puts her head to shame. For it is one and the same with having been shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if shameful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, she shall be covered. 7For man indeed does not owe to have the head covered, being the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of a man. 8For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9For also man was not created on account of the woman, but woman on account of the man. 10The woman owes to have authority on the head because of this: on account of the angels/messengers. 11However, man is not apart from woman or woman apart from man in Yehovah. 12For as the woman is from the man, so is the man also via the woman, but all things are from God. 13Judge in yourselves. Is it comely for an uncovered woman to pray to God? 14Or doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him? 15But if a woman has long hair, it is glory to her! For the long hair is given to her instead of a covering. 16But if anyone thinks to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.

Is the Law ‘Done Away With’?

Has the Law Been

‘Done Away With’?

 

Written by Lynn R.

 

1.   A Note On Expository Preaching

The best form of preaching has always been expository. It takes the most work in order to properly prepare, but it also has the best benefits for the listeners. There are a number of expository preachers today (though expository sermons are increasingly rare and are being replaced by inferior ‘topical’ sermons because of the ease of preparation). Those who preach expositorily need to be commended.

 

2.   What Truly Makes Preaching Successful

Members who are genuinely interested in truth are attracted by the form of preaching which includes proper quotations of the Word of God, shows true doctrine, and reveals truth in a way that is useful to hearers. A pastor who properly presents the Word in a way that makes for increased righteousness and justice among hearers who fear God tends to draw many, because the Word is drawing them.

 

3.   What Frustrates The True Fearers Of God

If truth attracts Saints, what frustrates them? Obviously, error does. Today, more than at any other time in the history of this country, error is being taught from fundamental pulpits, as well as pulpits where error can be expected (the pulpits of ‘liberals’ and cults). The cause of error is usually simple: the pastor was taught something in seminary, and has clung to it as truth without checking. Another cause arises when a pastor mistreats and mishandles the Word of Truth, not properly considering a text’s context and to whom the text is referring. Those listening to pastors are just as responsible for what they hear and believe as pastors are for what they teach, even though teachers will be judged far more harshly for their error. All should approach the Word of Truth with fear and trembling. I take this to be literal. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not, Exodus 20:20. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, Heb. 10:31. Today, the word awe is being used to supplant the word fear. But do Biblical texts mean awe or fear? Just awful? Hardly!

 

4.   A Personal Experience: Has The Law Been Trashed?

This summer, toward the end of a great ‘Thus saith Jehovah’ sermon, my ears perked when the statement was made that “The law was done away with at the cross, reference Ephesians 2:15.” If true, this would seem to be a rather curious and drastic event—if some parts of the Scriptures are done away with.

This isn’t the first time I have heard a teaching similar to this, and I don’t know exactly why it became noteworthy to me at the time. I think the theory is that the Jewish and Gentile, and pre-Messiah and post-Messiah requirements for salvation are somehow uniquely different. However, Ephesians 2 describes in great detail how there is no difference in salvation for Jew and Gentile, and that there should no longer be enmity between the two as in the past. Verses 14 and 15 state,

For He is our (Jew & Gentile) peace, who made both (Jew & Gentile) one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, (caused by) the law of commandments in ordinances, for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you (Gentiles) which were afar off, and to them (Jews) that were nigh. For through Him we both (Jew and Gentile) have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

It is the enmity between Jew and Gentile that is done away with, slain at the cross, and not the law. The Jews had flaunted their special, peculiar status with Jehovah by their being the direct recipients of the Word of God through Moses and the books of the Law, thus causing enmity with the Gentiles. This is the enmity that is done away with.

Granted, Ephesians 2:15 is a little fuzzy and the Greek does not help much in clarity. There are other verses with great clarity that cover the same subject, however. We can quote none other than Jehovah (Yeshua, Messiah, Jesus) in Matthew 5:17-18, an unchallengeable and immutable source.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass {when this earth and heaven are destroyed}, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

The law is expressly not destroyed (done away with), and is secure exactly as written for at least another 1,000 years from today.

Note the severe warning editorial in the very next verse:

Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Comparing Scripture with Scripture, Ephesians 2:15 cannot mean that the Law is done away with. Matthew 5:17-19 are the ‘Thus saith Jehovah’ verses on this subject.

 

5.   Messiah’s Personal Exegesis

Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses (the books of Moses) and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Yeshua Messiah begins with Moses (the books of the Law of Jehovah) when revealing Himself in Scripture. Should we not begin at the same place? Does this not bring importance to our knowing the Law thoroughly rather than considering that it may have been done away with? The Law is the exact, never changing, detailed justice system of God, and a total knowledge and understanding is desperately needed today as never before to set the foundation and the standard for all Christian human values and behavior. Does it save us? No. Did it save the Jews? No. Hebrews 4:2, For unto us (contemporary Jews) was the gospel preached, as well as unto them (children of Israel in the wilderness): but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it]. The ‘gospel’ is not new in the New Testament. ‘Faith’ is not new in the New Testament. Preaching, gospel, hearing and faith are the same throughout recorded Scriptures.

 

6.   What Happens To The Law When Faith Comes?

Romans 3:30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Does faith void the Law? No. It confirms the Law. Faith is necessary for both Jew and Gentile. Knowledge of the Law is required reading for both Jew and Gentile. The Law of God is the detailed plan of God by which the man of God is to gauge his whole life.

 

7.   Is The Law Alive Today?

The Law is alive and well today! It declares the full righteousness, justice, grace, and love of Jehovah! We must nip in the bud any notion to the contrary as we strive to present the true doctrine of ‘Thus saith Jehovah.’

 

8.   To Whom Was The Law Given?

If you said the Jews, you are right. Who can learn from the Law? Jews and Gentiles. There are countless Scriptures and ramifications of these simple facts, these teachings of God. No one can properly understand the Scriptures without being able to sort out some direction to God’s plan for the Jews and God’s plan for the Gentiles. At this time and in this paper, however, I am only proving the certainty and duration of the Law.

 

9.   The Duration Of The Law

Notice the text quoted above:

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass {when this earth and heaven are destroyed}, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

When will heaven and earth pass? Messiah must reign for 1,000 years, and before this, a time of great tribulation. Some very important events precede the time of great tribulation, and they will take time. It will be at least another 1,007 years before the Law passes!

 

10. Conclusion

The Law is not dead. It is inspired Scripture, and must be viewed that way, to insure that contempt for the Law does not become part of one’s beliefs!

What is a Nazarite?

What is A Nazarite?
Literally Rendered

What Is A Nazarite?

According to Gesenius, the root nazar means to consecrate, to vow. He continued, “The primary idea is that of separating.” Thus, he said it meant “to separate oneself from any one, e. g. from after Yehovah, for example, i.e. to fall away from the worship of Jehovah, Ez. 14, 7.”

Ezekiel 14:7 “For a man a man from the House of Israel and from the sojourner who will sojourn in Israel, and he has been separated from after me, and he has made ascend his rollers unto his heart. And he will put the stumblingblock of his iniquity straight-before his faces. And he will come unto the prophet to research to him into me, I Yehovah! We will answer to him via me! 8And I will give my faces into that man. And I will put him to a sign and to proverbs! And I will cut him off from the midst of my people! And ye shall know that I am Yehovah!”

Gesenius continued, “to abstain from any thing, with from, Lev. 22, 2.”

Leviticus 22:2 “Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons. And they have separated from the holies of the children of Israel. And they shall not profane the Name of my holy Holy-One Whom they are sanctifying to me. I am Yehovah.”

Gesenius stated, “spoken of abstinence from food and drink Zech. 7. 3, compare verse 5.”

Zechariah 7:3 …to say unto the priests who are to the house of Yehovah of hosts and unto the prophets to say, “Shall I weep in the fifth month to be separated [abstain] just as I did this how many years?” 4And the word of Yehovah of hosts was unto me to say, 5 “Say unto all the people of the land and unto the priests to say, ‘When ye have shut, and to mourn in the fifth and seventh, and this seventy year, shutting, did ye shut me? I?’”

Then, Gesenius states, “to consecrate or devote oneself to any thing, e. g. to Yehovah Hos. 9, 10.”

Hosea 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as a firstborn in a fig tree in her beginning. They came Baalpeor, and they were separated to shame. And they were abominations as their love.

In the Hiphil form, Gesenius states, “to separate one from any thing, e. e. to restrain from, to admonish against. Lev. 15, 31 cause ye the children of Israel to separate themselves from their uncleanness, i. e. admonish them not to make themselves nclean. Compare Arabic, to premonish, to admonish.”

Leviticus 15:31 And ye shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness. And they shall not die in their uncleanness in their ‘uncleaning’ my abidingplace that is in their midst.

Gesenius then thought that the transitive form meant to consecrate, as in Numbers 6:12—

Numbers 6:12 And he shall separate to Yehovah the days of his separation. And he shall bring a lamb the son of his year for a transgression. And the first days shall fall. For his separation was unclean.

In the intransitive form, Gesenius thought it meant to abstain, as Numbers 6:3—

Numbers 6:3 He shall separate from wine and strong drink. Vinegar of wine and vinegar of strong drink he will not drink, and he will not drink every liquid of grapes. And grapes moist and dried he will not eat.

Though Gesenius thought the word meant to abstain, in the verses immediately surrounding the above verse, he thought it meant to consecrate or devote oneself to Yehovah (Num. 6, 2. 5. 6.). I will give the sequence of verses.

Numbers 6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel. And thou shalt say unto them, “A man or a woman who shall miracle to vow a vow of separation to separate to Yehovah, 3he shall separate from wine and strong drink. Vinegar of wine and vinegar of strong drink he will not drink, and he will not drink every liquid of grapes. And grapes moist and dried he will not eat. 4All the days of his separation are from all he will make from a vine of the wine. From the determiners and unto a clear [skin] he will not eat. 5All the days of the vow of his separation a razor will not cross-over upon his head unto the fullness of their day that he will be separated to Yehovah. Holy he will be. The lock of the hair of his head became-big. 6All the days of his separation to Yehovah he shall not come upon a being of a dead-one.

I had a thought while looking at this word. Suppose it is related to sojourner, which has two of the three letters. It comes from the root zoor, and nearly always has a bad meaning of stranger, foreigner, a foreign god, etc., which can explain why nazarites seemed so foreign to the Israelis, just as Messiah Yeshua does now.

Suppose it refers to the days of his sojourning as a foreigner rather than the days of his separation.

Gesenius continued by defining the noun nazer, as the “consecration of a priest Lev. 21, 12; specifically of a Nazarite Num. 6, 4. 5. 9 his consecrated head. v. 12.” (when the Hebrew actually read the head of his nazir; see text in full below).

Leviticus 21:12 “And from the Sanctuary he will not go-out. And he will not pierce the Sanctuary of his Gods. For the nazir of the oil of anointing of his Gods is upon him. I am Yehovah!”

Suppose this made him a stranger to the Israelis.

Numbers 6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel. And thou shalt say unto them, “A man or a woman who shall miracle to vow a vow of separation to separate to Yehovah, 3he shall separate from wine and strong drink. Vinegar of wine and vinegar of strong drink he will not drink, and he will not drink every liquid of grapes. And grapes moist and dried he will not eat. 4All the days of his separation are from all he will make from a vine of the wine. From the determiners and unto a clear [skin] he will not eat. 5All the days of the vow of his separation a razor will not cross-over upon his head unto the fullness of their day that he will be separated to Yehovah. Holy he will be. The lock of the hair of his head became-big. 6All the days of his separation to Yehovah he shall not come upon a being of a dead-one. 7For his father and for his mother, for his brother and for his sister—he will not unclean for them in their death. For the nazir of his Gods is upon his head. 8All the days of his nazir he is holy unto Yehovah. 9And when a dead-one will die upon him in an instant suddenly, and the head of his nazir will be unclean. And he will shave his head in the day of his being-clean. In the day of the seven he will shave him. 10And in the day of the eighth he will bring two turtledoves or two sons of a dove unto the priest unto the opening of the Tent of Appointment. 11And the priest will do one for a sin-sacrifice and one for ascension. And he will cover upon him from what he sinned concerning the being. And he will sanctify his head in that day. 12And he will hezeer to Yehovah the days of his Nazir. And he will bring a lamb the son of his year for transgression. And the first days shall fall. For his nazir uncleaned. 13And this is the teaching of the Nazir: in the day of the fullness of the days of his Nazar he will bring him unto the opening of the Tent of Appointment. 14And he shall bring-near his brought-near to Yehovah, one perfect boy-lamb the son of his year for ascension and one perfect girl-lamb the daughter of her year for a sin-sacrifice, and one perfect ram for peaces 15and a basket of Matzahs, flour of piercings mingled in oil and spittings of Matzahs anointed in oil and their restings and their pourings. 16And the priest shall bring-near to the faces of Yehovah. And He will make his sin-sacrifice and his ascension. 17And he will make the ram a sacrifice of peaces to Yehovah upon the basket of the Matzahs. And the priest will make his resting and his pouring. 18And the Nazir will shave the head of his Nazar opening of the Tent of Appointment. And he will take the hair of the head of his Nazar. And he will give upon the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peaces. 19And the priest shall take the cooked arm from the ram and piercings of one Matzah from the basket and one spitting of Matzah. And he shall give upon palms of the Nazir after his shaving his Nazar. 20And the priest shall wave them a waving to the faces of Yehovah. Holy is he to the priest upon the breast of the waving and upon the leg of the elevating. And after, the Nazir will drink wine. 21This is the teaching of the Nazir who will vow his brought-near to Yehovah upon his Nazar beside what his hand will reach, the palms of his vow that he will vow. Established will he do upon the teaching of his Nazar.

Gesenius continued, “Hence metonymy consecrated head scilicet (Latin, for ‘understand’ or ‘apply’) of a Nazarite, Number 6, 19.” He continued, “Also, the primary idea being dropped, unshorn hair, long hair, e. g. of a woman, Jer. 7, 29.”

Jeremiah 7:29 Shear thy nazir and cast-away and carry upon barrens a lamentation! For Yehovah hath contemned and cast-out the generation of his overflowing!

In his second noun definition, he wrote, “a diadem, worn as the mark of consecration, e. g. by the high priest, whose diadem was called nazir of the holy, Ex. 29, 6. 39, 30. Lev. 8, 9;”

Exodus 29:6 And thou shalt put the wrapping upon his head. And thou shalt give the nazar of the Holy-One upon the wrapping.

Exodus 39:30 And they made the flower of the nazar of the Holy-One pure gold. And they wrote upon him a writing, openings of a signet, Holy to Yehovah.

Leviticus 8:9 And he put the wrapping upon his head. And he put upon the wrapping unto the front of his faces the flower of the gold, nazir of the Holy-One just as Yehovah commanded Moshe.

Then he wrote, “a king 2 Sam. 1, 10. 2 K. 11, 12. 2 Chr. 23, 11. al. the gems of a diadem, put for any thing precious, Zech. 9, 16.”

2 Samuel 1:10 And I stood upon him. And I killed him because I knew that he will not live after his fall. And I took the nazir that is upon his head and the bracelet that is upon his arm. And I brought them here unto my lord.

2 Kings 11:12 And he sent-out the king’s son. And he gave upon him the nazir and the testimonies. And they kinged him. And he anointed him. And they smote palm. And they said, “The king shall live!”

2 Chronicles 23:11 And they sent-out the king’s son. And they gave upon him the nazir and the testimonies. And they kinged him. And Yehoyada anointed him, and his sons. And they said, “The king shall live!”

Zechariah 9:16 And Yehovah their Gods shall save them in that day as the flock of His people. For stones of a nazir are testing themselves upon His soil.

The other texts covering this topic are the following:

Genesis 49:26 The blessings of thy father prevailed above the blessings of my parents unto the lust of hills of hiding! They shall be to the head of Joseph and to the scalp of a nazir of his brothers.

Leviticus 25:5 Thou shalt not reap volunteer of thy harvest and thou shalt not defend the grapes of thy nazir. He will be a year of ceasing to the land.

Leviticus 25:11 He is a flowing, a year of the fifty year she will be to you. Ye shall not seed and ye shall not harvest her volunteers. And ye shall not fortify her nazirs.

Deuteronomy 33:13 And to Joseph he said, “The Blessing of Yehovah is his land from the excellence of the heavens, from the dew and from the deep couching under, 14and from the excellence of the increases of the sun, and from the excellence of the thrusting-out of the months, 15and from the head of the mountains of ancient-time, and from the excellence of the hills of hiding, 16and from the excellence of the land and her fullness and the desire of the Abider of the bush. Her increase is for the head of Yoseph and for the scalp of the Nazir of his brothers, 17the firstborn of his herd. Grandeur is his, and his horns are like the horns of a wild ox; with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth; and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Judges 13:5 “For behold thee pregnant. And thou shalt child a son. And a teacher will not ascend over his head, for the youth will be a Nazir of Elohim from the belly. And he, he will begin to save Israel from the hand of Palestinians.” 6And the woman came. And she said to her man to say, “A man of the Elohim came unto me. And his appearance is as the appearance of a messenger of the Elohim, very fearsome! And I did not ask him where from this is he, and he did not tell to me his name. 7And he said to me, ‘Behold thee pregnant! And thou shalt child a son. And now, don’t drink wine and liquor and don’t eat any unclean. For the youth will be a nazir of Elohim from the belly unto the day of his death!’”

Judges 16:17 And he told to her all his heart. And he said to her, “A teacher did not ascend over my head. For a nazir of Elohim am I from the belly of my mother. If I shaved, and my strength will turn from me. And I will be sick. And I will be as each of the adam.”

Lamentations 4:7 Her Nazireem were purer than snow. They were more dazzling than milk. They reddened a bone more than corners. A sapphire is their separation/cut-off.

Amos 2:11 “And I made-stand from your sons for prophets and from your chosen-ones for Nazireem. Is it not even this, Children of Israel?” declared Yehovah. 12 “And ye watered the Nazireem wine to drink. And ye commanded upon the prophets, saying, ‘Ye shall not prophesy!’”

A Stranger

Now, I will give the same texts as above, with the idea of being a stranger, a foreigner, one who is not part of a people, but who is leading a life as if from a foreign country and culture, even with a foreign god (perhaps the True and Living God!). I will use some form of the word alien, as alienated.

Ezekiel 14:7 “For a man a man from the House of Israel and from the sojourner who will sojourn in Israel, and he has been alienated from after me, and he has made ascend his rollers unto his heart. And he will put the stumblingblock of his iniquity straight-before his faces. And he will come unto the prophet to research to him into me, I Yehovah! We will answer to him via me! 8And I will give my faces into that man. And I will put him to a sign and to proverbs! And I will cut him off from the midst of my people! And ye shall know that I am Yehovah!”

Leviticus 22:2 “Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons. And they have been alienated from the holies of the children of Israel. And they shall not profane the Name of my holy Holy-One Whom they are sanctifying to me. I am Yehovah.”

Zechariah 7:3 …to say unto the priests who are to the house of Yehovah of hosts and unto the prophets to say, “Shall I weep in the fifth month to be alienated just as I did this how many years?” 4And the word of Yehovah of hosts was unto me to say, 5 “Say unto all the people of the land and unto the priests to say, ‘When ye have shut, and to mourn in the fifth and seventh, and this seventy year, shutting, did ye shut me? I?’”

Hosea 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as a firstborn in a fig tree in her beginning. They came Baalpeor, and they were alienated to shame. And they were abominations as their love.

Leviticus 15:31 And ye shall alienate the children of Israel from their uncleanness. And they shall not die in their uncleanness in their ‘uncleaning’ my abidingplace that is in their midst.

The above two texts show that one is alienated to or from something. If they are alienated to something, that means that they have been alienated from the familiar object to the new object. Thus, one is alienated from idols to God, as in the following texts:

1 Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.

Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember that ye, being in time past Gentiles in the flesh who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, 12that at that time ye were without Messiah, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Messiah Yeshua ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Messiah.

The following nazir texts continue.

Leviticus 21:12 “And from the Sanctuary he will not go-out. And he will not pierce the Sanctuary of his Gods. For the alienation of the oil of anointing of his Gods is upon him. I am Yehovah!”

Numbers 6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel. And thou shalt say unto them, “A man or a woman who shall miracle to vow a vow of alienation to alienate to Yehovah, 3he shall alienate from wine and strong drink. Vinegar of wine and vinegar of strong drink he will not drink, and he will not drink every liquid of grapes. And grapes moist and dried he will not eat. 4All the days of his alienation are from all he will make from a vine of the wine. From the determiners [genetic information being in the seeds!] and unto a clear [skin] he will not eat. 5All the days of the vow of his alienation a razor will not cross-over upon his head unto the fullness of their day that he will be an alien to Yehovah. He will be holy. The lock of the hair of his head became-big. 6All the days of his alienation to Yehovah he shall not [RTF bookmark start: HereIAm][RTF bookmark end: HereIAm]come upon a being of a dead-one. 7For his father and for his mother, for his brother and for his sister—he will not unclean for them in their death. For the alienation of his Gods is upon his head. 8All the days of his alienation he is holy unto Yehovah. 9And when a dead-one will die upon him in an instant suddenly, and the head of his alienation will be unclean. And he will shave his head in the day of his being-clean. In the day of the seven he will shave him. 10And in the day of the eighth he will bring two turtledoves or two sons of a dove unto the priest unto the opening of the Tent of Appointment. 11And the priest will do one for a sin-sacrifice and one for ascension. And he will cover upon him from what he sinned concerning the being. And he will sanctify his head in that day. 12And he will alienate to Yehovah the days of his alien. And he will bring a lamb the son of his year for transgression. And the first days shall fall. For his alien uncleaned. 13And this is the teaching of the alien: in the day of the fullness of the days of his alienation he will bring him unto the opening of the Tent of Appointment. 14And he shall bring-near his brought-near to Yehovah, one perfect boy-lamb the son of his year for ascension and one perfect girl-lamb the daughter of her year for a sin-sacrifice, and one perfect ram for peaces 15and a basket of Matzahs, flour of piercings mingled in oil and spittings of Matzahs anointed in oil and their restings and their pourings. 16And the priest shall bring-near to the faces of Yehovah. And He will make his sin-sacrifice and his ascension. 17And he will make the ram a sacrifice of peaces to Yehovah upon the basket of the Matzahs. And the priest will make his resting and his pouring. 18And the alien will shave the head of his alienation opening of the Tent of Appointment. And he will take the hair of the head of his alien. And he will give upon the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peaces. 19And the priest shall take the cooked arm from the ram and piercings of one Matzah from the basket and one spitting of Matzah. And he shall give upon palms of the alien after his shaving his alienation. 20And the priest shall wave them a waving to the faces of Yehovah. Holy is he to the priest upon the breast of the waving and upon the leg of the elevating. And after, the alien will drink wine. 21This is the teaching of the alien who will vow his brought-near to Yehovah upon his alienation beside what his hand will reach, the palms of his vow that he will vow. Established will he do upon the teaching of his alienation.

Jeremiah 7:29 Shear thine alien and cast-away and carry upon barrens a lamentation! For Yehovah hath contemned and cast-out the generation of his overflowing!

Exodus 29:6 And thou shalt put the wrapping upon his head. And thou shalt give the alienation of the Holy-One upon the wrapping.

Exodus 39:30 And they made the flower of the alienation of the Holy-One pure gold. And they wrote upon him a writing, openings of a signet, “Holy to Yehovah.”

Leviticus 8:9 And he put the wrapping upon his head. And he put upon the wrapping unto the front of his faces the flower of the gold, “alien of the Holy-One” just as Yehovah commanded Moshe.

Look at the following text:

Psalm 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

Stranger in this verse is zoor, the word I propose to be related to nazir.

2 Samuel 1:10 And I stood upon him. And I killed him because I knew that he will not live after his fall. And I took the alien that is upon his head and the bracelet that is upon his arm. And I brought them here unto my lord.

This word was often rendered crown, but it may have the signification of being an ‘alienizer’, causing one who wears it to become alien to the others through rank and function.

2 Kings 11:12 And he sent-out the king’s son. And he gave upon him the alien and the testimonies. And they kinged him. And he anointed him. And they smote palm [I think they clapped]. And they said, “The king shall live!”

2 Chronicles 23:11 And they sent-out the king’s son. And they gave upon him the alien and the testimonies. And they kinged him. And Yehoyada anointed him, and his sons. And they said, “The king shall live!”

Zechariah 9:16 And Yehovah their Gods shall save them in that day as the flock of His people. For stones of an alien are testing themselves upon His soil.

Genesis 49:26 The blessings of thy father prevailed above the blessings of my parents unto the lust of hills of hiding! They shall be to the head of Joseph and to the scalp of an alien of his brothers.

Leviticus 25:5 Thou shalt not reap volunteer of thy harvest and thou shalt not defend the grapes of thine alien. He will be a year of ceasing to the land.

Leviticus 25:11 He is a flowing, a year of the fifty year she will be to you. Ye shall not seed and ye shall not harvest her volunteers. And ye shall not fortify her aliens.

Deuteronomy 33:13 And to Joseph he said, “The Blessing of Yehovah is his land from the excellence of the heavens, from the dew and from the deep couching under, 14and from the excellence of the increases of the sun, and from the excellence of the thrusting-out of the months, 15and from the head of the mountains of ancient-time, and from the excellence of the hills of hiding, 16and from the excellence of the land and her fullness and the desire of the Abider of the bush. Her increase is for the head of Yoseph and for the scalp of the alien of his brothers, 17the firstborn of his herd. Grandeur is his, and his horns are like the horns of a wild ox; with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth; and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Judges 13:5 “For behold thee pregnant. And thou shalt child a son. And a teacher will not ascend over his head, for the youth will be an alien of Elohim from the belly. And he, he will begin to save Israel from the hand of Palestinians.” 6And the woman came. And she said to her man to say, “A man of the Elohim came unto me. And his appearance is as the appearance of a messenger of the Elohim, very fearsome! And I did not ask him where from this is he, and he did not tell to me his name. 7And he said to me, ‘Behold thee pregnant! And thou shalt child a son. And now, don’t drink wine and liquor and don’t eat any unclean. For the youth will be an alien of Elohim from the belly unto the day of his death!’”

Judges 16:17 And he told to her all his heart. And he said to her, “A teacher did not ascend over my head. For an alien of Elohim am I from the belly of my mother. If I shaved, and my strength will turn from me. And I will be sick. And I will be as each of the adam.”

Lamentations 4:7 Her aliens were purer than snow. They were more dazzling than milk. They reddened a bone more than corners. A sapphire is their separation/cut-off.

Amos 2:11 “And I made-stand from your sons for prophets and from your chosen-ones for aliens. Is it not even this, Children of Israel?” declared Yehovah. 12 “And ye watered the aliens wine to drink. And ye commanded upon the prophets, saying, ‘Ye shall not prophesy!’”

Psalm 89:40 Thou hast spurned the covenant of thy servant! Thou hast pierced to the land his alien!

Psalm 132:18 I will clothe his enemies shame! And upon him is the flower of his alien!

Proverbs 27:24 For wealth is not to hiding. And if a alien is to generation generation!

Diluting Jewishness by Racial Mixing

Diluting Jewishness by Racial Mixing

 

Can Jewishness be diluted by intermarrying with other races? Can a person be 1/16th Jewish? Adolph Hitler thought so, and he employed educated genetics experts to ‘solve’ the ‘Jewish Question’.

Neither Hitler nor his scientists knew the Bible. They assumed that the gene that determines race could be diluted. The Bible teaches otherwise, telling of 144,000 Israelis from 11 tribes (one tribe has double the amount, another is not listed):

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them who were sealed. And there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

This event will occur after many centuries of intermarriages. How can they be preserved without interbreeding that makes for terrible genetic consequences?

Consider also the following text:

Genesis 10:5 By these were the isles of the races divided in their lands—every one after his tongue after their families in their races.

The races are established. If they could be diluted, races would not now exist. For example, if a person could be 1/16 Hungarian, 1/16 French, 1/16 Welch, 1/16 German, 1/16 Scandinavian, 1/16 Scottish, etc. until 16 races were specified, this person would not be of any race, each race being too small a portion of his makeup.

Consider the alternative. Every human (normally) has two sets of genes. One set is obtained from the person’s mother, the other from the person’s father. Now, suppose a Jewish man of the tribe of Dan marries a Canaanite woman (I do not recommend this). Suppose a Jewish woman also from the tribe of Dan marries a Canaanite man. They have children, one being a son, the other a daughter. Suppose those children marry and have children. The following shows all the possible genetic racial offspring (according to what I am proposing), where ‘C’ represents the Canaanite gene and ‘D’ represents the Tribe of Dan gene:

 

The Canaanite/Dan woman who has a child with a Canaanite/Dan man can produce a child who is ‘CC’ (pure Canaanite), ‘CD’ (another Canaanite/Dan combination), ‘DC’ (another Canaanite/Dan combination) and ‘DD’ (pure tribe of Dan).

If you followed that, suppose that the darker (yellow) combination is the result: ‘CD’ (which is Canaanite/Dan). This grows up and has a child with a pure-blood German. The following shows the potential combinations (where ‘G’ is for the German gene:

 

This can result in a ‘CG’ (Canaanite/German) offspring or a ‘DG’ (Tribe of Dan/German) offspring.

Now, suppose the result is a Tribe-of-Dan/German offspring (shaded in yellow), and suppose this person grows and has a child with an Ethiopian/Lebanese person. The following combinations can result:

 

The offspring could be Tribe-of-Dan/Ethiopian, Tribe-of-Dan/Lebanese, German/Ethiopian or German/Lebanese. Suppose it is the Tribe-of-Dan/Lebanese combination (shaded in yellow). Suppose this person grows and has a child with a person who is a combination of Russian and Tribe of Dan (from another very distant lineage). Any of the following offspring could come:

 

The offspring could be Tribe-of-Dan/Russian, Tribe-of-Dan/Tribe-of-Dan (thus, pure Tribe of Dan), Lebanese/Russian or Lebanese/Tribe-of-Dan. If the offspring is purely Tribe of Dan, these combinations (that could be extended over thirty centuries) would preserve the Tribe of Dan in a pure way, while making sure that inbreeding does not harm the offspring. The person might have blue eyes, blond, curly hair, Egyptian features, a Russian height, etc., yet still be racially purely from the Tribe of Dan.

B-Matthew 26:39 “And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, ‘O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.’”
1-Luke 22:44 “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
C-Matthew 27:46 “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?’— that is to say, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’”
Mark 15:34 “And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which is, being interpreted, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’”
D-John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Yeshua?

A-John 10:15 “As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
B-John 4:34 “Jesus saith unto them, ‘My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.’”

The High Priest?

A-Matthew 26:57 “And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.”
B-Matthew 26:58 “But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest‘s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.”
C-Matthew 26:62 “And the high priest arose, and said unto him, ‘Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?’”
D-Matthew 26:63 ‘But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, ‘I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.’”
E-Matthew 26:65 “Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, ‘He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy!” (Blasphemy was punishable only by death).
F-The only person who was legally authorized to approve a sacrifice that Yehovah would accept was the High Priest.
G-John 18:31 “Then said Pilate unto them, ‘Take ye him, and judge him according to your law.’ The Jews therefore said unto him, ‘It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.’”

 

Yeshua-The High Priest?

A– John 10-17 “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
B-Yeshua had the authority as High Priest to cause Himself to be the final sacrifice.

Who Killed the Messiah?

Who didn’t?
