Shabbat Shalom and Welcome to Ask Seek and Knock. Today we will continue with How to Overcome - Part 8-B, The pollution of the devil, and how to combat it!", which is right where we left off last time we met, Levi Chapter 17, Lets read it again to refresh our memories from when we last met.
- Levi Chapter 17 [Yah Scriptures]
- 1 Because you have heard about the seventy weeks, listen also concerning the kehunnah [priesthood].
- 2 In each Yoḇĕl [Jubilee] there shall be a kehunnah: In the first Yoḇĕl the first person to be anointed to the kehunnah will be great, and he shall speak to Elohim as father; and his kehunnah shall be fully satisfactory to Yahuah, and in the days of his joy, he shall rise up for the deliverance of the world.
- 3 In the second Yoḇĕl the anointed one shall be conceived in sorrow of the beloved one, and his kehunnah shall be praised and shall be glorified by all.
- 4 The third kohĕn [priest] shall be overtaken by grief, and,
- 5 the fourth kehunnah shall be with sufferings, because injustice shall be imposed upon him in a high degree, and all Yisra’ĕl shall hate each one his neighbor.
- 6 The fifth shall be overcome by darkness;
- 7 Likewise the sixth and the seventh.
-
8 In
the seventh there
shall be pollution
such as I am unable to declare in the presence of human beings,
because only the ones who do these things
understand such matters.. - 9 Therefore they shall be in captivity and will be preyed upon; both their land and their possessions shall be stolen.
- 10 And in the fifth week they shall return to the land of their desolation, and shall restore anew the House of Yahuah
- 11 In the seventh week there will come kohenim [priests]; idolaters, adulterers, money lovers, arrogant, Torahless, voluptuaries, pederasts, those who practice bestiality.
Wow, alright, this is a lot to take in, but first, I have a question concerning the kahunneh, or priesthood: Is there a legitimate kahunneh [priesthood] today? The I ask because, our high priest is Yahusha Messiah, and He is in the heavens right now, so the answer is NO. There is no legitimate priesthood on earth today. In fact, in the day that our Messiah was here, the priesthood was also not legitimate. If it was, the Zadok Priestly line would not have been exiled in Qumran where they were when Yahusha Messiah was here, and John the Baptist, would have also been a legitimate part of the priesthood as well because of His bloodline, and yet he was not, in fact, John was a voice crying in the wilderness, was he not?
- John 1:23
- 23 He said, “I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of Yahuah [Master],’ as the naḇi [prophet] Yeshayahu [Isaiah] said.”
- [Referencing Isaiah 40:3]
In fact, Both John and also Paul, were associated with the priests in Qumran (evidenced in the dead sea scrolls, and this would be a study unto its self). With this in mind, lets turn our attension to the Zadok Priestly line, and ask; What does Yah think of the Zadok Priestly line? Let's find out. YEḤEZQĔL [Ezekiel] 48:11.
- YEḤEZQĔL [Ezekiel] 48:11
- 11 for the kohenim of the sons of Tsaḏoq, who are qodesh, who guarded My Charge, who did not go astray when the children of Yisra’ĕl went astray, as
the Lĕwites went astray.
Did you hear that? Who did not go astray? Clearly, the Zadok Priestly line did not go astray, as did the rest of the Levites and as did all of Israel.
Now concerning the timeline, we are not planning on going over the timeline today, as that is not our goal with today's study. Today, we are going to focus on Levi 17:8-9, which we will go ahead and repeat now.
- Levi 17:8-9 [Yah Scriptures]
- 8 In the seventh there shall be pollution such as I am unable to declare in the presence of human beings, because only the ones who do these things understand such matters..
- 9 Therefore they shall be in captivity and will be preyed upon; both their land and their possessions shall be stolen.
Let's discuss the word's "pollution", "captivity", "land", and "possessions being stolen". First, "captivity"; we believe that the children of Yah have been sifted among the nations, and today, we are indeed in captivity. Your Home's, your Cars, your Boats, your Property, your Businesses, and so on, are all unlawfully taxed. None of what you think you own, is yours. Do you remember Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, who told the citizens of earth, "You Will Own Nothing, and be Happy", well, I don't know about the happy part, but we are already on the path to owning Nothing. Now, don't get me wrong, when you understand the Yahad as discussed in the DSS "Community Rule". To be a member of the Yahad, one would give all of his possessions to the Yahad, and it is there for whenever needed for the good of the Yahad, as this is what was practiced in Yahad, and the heavens. There is even evidence in the Scripture of this being practiced by Paul and those in his ministry. (again, a study for another time, but read "Acts 5", and "Charter of a Jewish Sectarian Association, in the Wise Abegg and Cook, DSS", to understand more). The point being, when the kingdom is here with us, I for one, will be so happy to own nothing, because all of your needs will be met, and our inheritance is to be with Father Yah and our Messiah in Paradise, per Luke 23:43: Even when our High Priest, Yahusha, Messiah, was on the stake, Yahusha Messiah told amazing Revelations. He was and is spotless, and never once did He lie. We believe Everything He Said, so what did He say?
- Luke 23:43
- 43 And Yahusha said to him, “Truly, I say to you today, you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
The point I am trying to make is this; for everything good, there is a counterfeit. We will give examples. There is no need to own anything in the kingdom, as the whole city is our inheritance, that is, so long as we endure to the end in this life as we know it; in the better life to come, ALL your needs will be fulfilled. All of them, forever, and ever. Amen. The hard part, is getting to that place, as this life we now live is indeed the narrow path, full of dangers and very hard to pass. just as explained in 2 Esdras 7:6-9, which states:
- 2 Esdras 7:6-9 [Yah Scriptures]
- 6 “There is also another example: a city is built, and put on a broad field, and is filled with all good.
- 7 “Its entrance is narrow, and is put in a dangerous place to fall, so there is a fire on the right hand, and a deep moat on the left,
- 8 and only one path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so narrow that only one man could go through at once.
- 9 “If this city now were given to a man as an inheritance, if he should never pass the danger placed before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?”
That Great City which is being spoken of is indeed Tsiyon. We spoke of her before, and we say her, because she is described in various places within Scripture. Let's just get a couple of references. First, 2 Esdras 10:26-27:
- 2 Esdras 10:26-27
- 26 And see, suddenly she made a very great fearful cry, so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman
- 27 And I looked, and see, the woman appeared to me no more, but there was a city built, and a large place revealed itself from the foundations; then I was afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and said,
Let's stop there to discuss what we have just discovered. The Woman is the City, and for a witness, lets drop down to 2 Esdras 10:44, as we are told again, who the woman is.
- 2 Esdras 10:44
- 44 “This woman, whom you saw is Tsiyon; and when she spoke to you, even she whom you see as a built city,
So, as stated here in 2 Esdras 10:44, the Woman is indeed, Tsiyon, the Built City. We can get another witness to this scripture as we go to the book of Revelation of John 21:2:
- Revelation of John 21:2
- 2 And I, Yoḥanan, saw the qodesh city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the shamayim from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
There it is: The Woman is the City, Yerushalayim, the Bride, and the Righteousness of the Saints Adorns her as is mentioned in Revelation 19:8:
- Revelation 19:8
- 8 And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the qodeshim (saints).
To learn more about what we believe concerning this topic, please check our 7 part study, "Second Exodus, or First Resurrection" and "Topics of Confusion in the Latter Days".
Now, continuing with our point, and we say yet again, for everything good, there is a counterfeit. If the evil principalities and powers in high places have their way, not only will all things be taken from you in this life (and not for the good of the Yahad), your very soul is also at stake. Remember though, from previous studies, Soul = Body, Not Spirit. The devil can kill your soul (body), but cannot kill your spirit. Only Yah can do that. Matthew 10:28.
- Matthew 10:28 [Yah Scriptures]
- 28 “And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the being. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both being and body in Gĕy-Hinnom.
For more information on this topic, you can go to our study titled: "Spirit, Body and Soul, Properly Defined". In that Light, Lets keep moving forward, and talk about the word "pollution", as it is discussed in Levi 17:8, which can actually come in many forms of purposeful contamination, such as, vaccines, food, water, and the very air you breath. So lets let Scripture interpret Scripture by getting witness, as we reference what we consider a couple of very important scripture concerning this topic, Beginning with 1 Enoch 7:1-6, concerning the fallen angels or watchers.
- 1 Enoch 7:1-6 [Yah Scriptures]
- 1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose one for himself, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them,
- 2 and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them to know plants. And they became pregnant, and they brought forth great giants, and the giants brought forth Nephilim, and the Nephilim brought forth Ĕli’uḏ:
- 3 Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them,
- 4 the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.
- 5 And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood.
- 6 Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
As we have noted above, the Yah Scriptures version of this scripture is a bit off. so, we will reference also the Richard Laurence Version, and maybe even others. 1 Enoch 7:10-15:
- 1 Enoch 7:10-15 [Richard Laurence]
- 10 Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees.
- 11 And the women conceiving brought forth giants,
- 12 Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them;
- 13 When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;
- 14 And began to injure birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, to eat their flesh one after another, and to drink their blood.
- 15 Then the earth reproved the unrighteous.
And even another version from, Dr. A. Nyland.
- 1 Enoch 7:1-6 [Dr. A. Nyland]
- 1 They and the rest took consorts. Each one chose their own. They had sex with them and defiled themselves with them. They taught them charms and sorceries, the cutting of roots, and the uses of plants.
- 2 The women got pregnant and gave birth to Nephilim whose height was three hundred cubits.
- 3 They consumed everything humans produced. When humans could no longer sustain them,
- 4 they turned against them, in order to consume them.
- 5 They began to do wrong against birds, beasts, reptiles, and fish, and to eat each other’s lesh, and to drink their blood.
- 6 Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Alright, let's add RH Charles to the mix.
- 1 Enoch 7:1-5 [RH Charles]
- 1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.
- 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells:
- 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men.
- 4. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.
- 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
We would also like to reference the oldest known version of 1 Enoch 7 as well. 4Q201 Col 1 Frag 3 of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Even though much is missing in the DSS, this should help us to determine which translations are closest to the DSS.
- 4Q201 Col 1 Frag 3 [Wise Abegg and Cook]
- 13 These are the leaders of the groups [of] ten; th[ey and th]eir [lieu] tenants [. . . they took]
- 14 women of all that they chose and [. . .]
- 15 and to teach them sorcery [. . .]
- 16 and the women became
- 17 pregnant by them and bo [re . . . and giants] were being born on the earth [. . . they consumed]
- 18 the labor of all the sons of men and did not [. . .]
- 19 were conspiring to slay humankind [. . .]
- 20 against every bird and [beas]ts of [the] earth [. . .]
- 21 [and in] the heavens and to devour the fish of the sea; [their own] flesh [. . .]
- Jubilees 10:1-16
- 1 And in the third week of this Yoḇĕl the unclean demons began to lead astray the children of the sons of Noaḥ, and to mislead and destroy them.
- 2 And the sons of Noaḥ came to Noaḥ their father, and they informed him concerning the demons which were, leading astray and blinding and slaying his sons’ sons.
- 3 And he prayed before Yahuah his Elohim, and said, “Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, who has shown kindness to me, and has saved my sons and I from the waters of the flood, and has not caused me to perish as You did the sons of destruction; for Your favour has been great towards me, and Your kindness has been great to my being. Let Your favour be lifted upon my sons, and let not wicked spirits rule over them lest they should destroy them from the earth.
- 4 “But may You baraḵ my sons and I, that we may increase and multiply and fill the earth.
- 5 “And You know how Your Watchers, the fathers of these spirits, acted in my day. And as for these spirits which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of your servant, my Elohim; for these are evil, and created in order to destroy.
- 6 “And let them not rule over the spirits of the living; for You alone exercise rule over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous from this time and forever.”
- 7 And Yahuah our Elohim commanded us to bind all.
- 8 And the chief of the spirits, Mastĕma, came and said, “Aḏonai, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them listen to my voice, and do all that I shall say to them; for if some of them are not left to me, I shall not be able to execute the power of my purpose on the sons of men; for these are for corruption and leading astray before my right-ruling, for the wickedness of the sons of men is great.”
- 9 And He said, “Let the tenth part of them remain before him, and let nine parts descend into the place of condemnation.”
- 10 And one of us He commanded that we should teach Noaḥ all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness.
- 11 And we did according to all His words: all the wicked evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation, and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth.
- 12 And we explained to Noaḥ all the medicines of their diseases, together with their accomplishments, how he might heal them with herbs of the earth.
- 13 And Noaḥ wrote down all matters in a Book as we instructed him concerning every kind of medicine. Thus the evil spirits were prevented from hurting the
sons of Noaḥ. - 14 And he gave all that he had written to Shĕm, his eldest son; for he loved him exceedingly above all his sons.
- 15 And Noaḥ slept with his fathers, and was buried on Mount Luḇar in the land of Ararat.
- 16 Nine hundred and fifty years he completed in his life, nineteen Yoḇelim and two weeks and five years.
And the devil even does the very same thing as we gain more understanding of the return of Yahusha our Messiah. When the High Priest of Yahuah Messiah returns, we can get a reality check as to who will be in the kingdom and who will not, as we see here in Revelation 22:14-15.
- Revelation 22:14-15
- 14 “Baruḵ are those doing His Commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of ḥai [life], and to enter through the gates into the city.
- 15 “But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood.
Now, allow me to explain something; an observation if you will. When I was in the ARMY many years ago, I was a Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, Warfare Defense NCO. My job was to safeguard those in the path that of being attacked by Nuclear Radiation, Chemical Agents, and Biological Agent. And I am here to tell you today, that the food you buy from the market, is mostly GMO, and it is Contaminated with Hazardous Chemicals, Unclean Nano-bots, Heavy Metals, and Unspeakable Unclean Biological Contamination, with some foods you are literally eating your own as a result of human body parts being used as Fertilizer. The water you drink, is Contaminated with Hazardous Chemicals, your own sewage, Unclean Nano-Bots, Unclean Peptides and, and if not filtered, is dangerous to consume. The air we breath is filled with pollution, such as I am unable to declare in the presence of human beings. The Heavy Metals, Chemical Agents, Nano-bots, Tic's, Mosquitos, Unknown Biological Agents, and more is being dumped on us, by the millions of tons daily, in an effort to Kill, Steal, and Destroy, and to Block the Sun, Moon and Stars, and is Dangerous and Hazardous to All Life on Earth. When you think about it, nothing can grow without light. Yahuah, sent His Son to be a Light upon the earth, and to guide us on a path of Truth and Righteousness. With His light, we can grow Spiritually, and with His Favor, some of us will even endure to the end keeping His Way. Now, the enemy is covering the luminaries, physically with pollution, and likewise, the enemy is also covering up the truth of all things with lies heaped upon lies, when one tells a lie enough times, people tend to believe the lies. The truth is, just about everything we have been taught in life, by our Schools, the Church, the Government, is a lie. The deception is far and wide, and only with the help of the Set-Apart Spirit of Yahuah, can we find hope, and truth, and see past the lies, that the devil has blinded us all with. With all of this being said, We would like to backup again to Jubilees 10:10-14, one more time, for an observation concerning Noah's Book of Medicines.
- Jubilees 10:10-14 [Yah Scriptures]
- 10 And one of us He commanded that we should teach Noaḥ all their medicines; for He knew that they would not walk in uprightness, nor strive in righteousness.
- 11 And we did according to all His words: all the wicked evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation, and a tenth part of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth.
- 12 And we explained to Noaḥ all the medicines of their diseases, together with their accomplishments, how he might heal them with herbs of the earth.
- 13 And Noaḥ wrote down all matters in a Book as we instructed him concerning every kind of medicine. Thus the evil spirits were prevented from hurting the sons of Noaḥ.
- 14 And he gave all that he had written to Shĕm, his eldest son; for he loved him exceedingly above all his sons.
Now, this is very important, please understand; this book of Medicines for every kind of diseases was given by Yahuah Elohim, to Noah, on this side of the flood, and I am convinced that at least some parts of this book still exists today, in some shape or form. With this in mind, I have some thoughts that I would like to share with you.
Please feel free to let us know if this study was helpful to you.
