Lucifer, Cabala, Baal, Demons


LUCIFER; CABALA; BAAL; DEMONS

7-31-2019

BY WILL NEWMAN
(for henrymakow.com)

WILL NEWMAN, who holds a B.A. in Religion, attended Jewish synagogue, and has relatives involved in Talmudism, Cabala, B'nai Brith and Masonry.
In 1976, Walter White, Jr., "a concerned patriot," conducted an interview with a young Jew named Harold Rosenthal who was an assistant to Sen. Jacob Javits of New York.

In the interview, later published as "The Hidden Tyranny", the arrogant Rosenthal belligerently boasts (on tape) that the Jewish people have fabricated certain "falsehoods which work to conceal their nature and protect their status and power."

Rosenthal debunks the commonly accepted lie that, "the Jews are Israelites, and thus God's chosen people".

Rosenthal said in part: 'Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer -- so I wasn't lying -- and we are his chosen people. Lucifer is very much alive.'" (The Hidden Tyranny)

Lucifer's goal is to "be like the most High" (Isa 14:14) and to usurp the worship of God (Mat 4:9).

Lucifer's purpose is to deceive the whole world (Rev 12:9) by transforming himself into an angel of light (2 Co 11:4). This is best exemplified by the Freemasons. Their motto of "making good men better" produces a far more favorable public image than the more accurate alternative: "how to become demon-possessed in 33-easy-steps." The Jewish and Masonic religions both worship the same god- Lucifer.

BRIGHT LIGHT
In most Jewish synagogues, a bright burning flame represents their god. The Hebrew word for Lucifer is "Hillel" (Strong's Concordance #H1966) meaning "bright light." Curiously, this is the name chosen for the Jewish student organization. A central text in Cabalism is entitled "the Zohar," which translates to the book of brightness or splendor.

The Jewish six-pointed star is the highest symbol in the occult and goes by various names--the Star of Moloch/Saturn/Chiun/Remphan. It is a symbol of the union of male and female and is identical in meaning to the Masonic square and compass, which is also a six-pointed symbol around the letter "G" representing the generative sexual act. In place of the "G" we find יהוה amidst many Jewish stars.

The Hebrew symbol חי worn around the necks of many Jews ostensibly symbolizes "life" (lachaim). The word literally translates to a "living thing" or "beast" (H2416); this symbol is an idol for The Beast.

The Jewish name for god is represented by the tetragrammaton יהוה (YHVH) can be pronounced Yahweh or Jehovah. The significance of God's name is repeatedly emphasized throughout the scriptures.

When dissected in the Hebrew, the true definition of Jehovah (Yah-Hovah) is revealed. "Yah" (#H3050) means "god". "Hovah" (#H1942) translates to "eagerly coveting, falling, desire, ruin, calamity, iniquity, mischief, naughtiness, noisome, perverse, very wickedness."

Jehovah is synonymous with Baal: "Baali (#H1180) From ba'al with pron. Suff.; my master; Baali, a symbolical name for Jehovah -- Baali."

The Jewish Encyclopedia ("Adonai and Ba'al") reveals: "The name Ba'al , apparently as an equivalent for Yhwh."

Since the days of Jeremiah, the Jews have forgotten their god's name and replaced it with the title "Baal" or "YHVH": The lying prophets "Which think to cause my people to forget my [God's]name...as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal." (Jer 23:27).

YHVH and Ba'al both represent the god of sexual perversion and wickedness, Satan.  The Jewish Encyclopedia continues: 

"The chief evil arose from the fact that the Ba'als were more than mere religious fantasies. They were made the symbols of the reproductive powers of nature, and thus their worship ministered to sexual indulgences, which it at the same time legalized and encouraged. Further, there was placed side by side with the Ba'al a corresponding female symbol, the Ashtoreth (Babyl. "Ashtar") and the relation between the two deities was set forth as the example and the motive of unbridled sensuality. The evil became all the worse when in the popular view Yhwh himself was regarded as one of the Ba'als and the chief of them (Hosea ii. 16). "Baal and Baal Worship," The Jewish Encyclopedia, p.380  (See also, Makow-Cabala-How Sex Became Our Religion)

However, Jews claim that this name (YHVH) is not to be spoken aloud, despite God's command to declare His name throughout the earth (Exo 9:16). Why ignore this commandment?

UTTERING GOD'S NAME
Judaism claims to be the authority on the Old Testament; however they do not practice what they preach. They dress in black, the color of death, in spite of the scriptural precept to wear white (Ecc 9:8), reject Christ as Messiah (who is prophesied throughout the Old Testament) and refuse to speak "God's name" in violation of the scriptures.

By reverencing their name of God (YHVH) by not speaking it, Jews create an air of mystery and holiness around the name while enhancing the curiosity surrounding its pronunciation and power. When curious Jews and non-Jews alike see the "sacred" tetragrammaton being used in occult practice, they are intrigued by the prospective that these sorcerers have harnessed the mystical powers of the name.

Wicca, Satanism, Tarot, occult Catholicism, Masonry and Cabalism use their knowledge of the "sacred name of god" as bait to recruit cult members. If the name were not hidden, these cults would lack a critical tool in their recruitment processes. They could not offer this forbidden knowledge if the Jews, the self-proclaimed authority on God, spoke this name openly.

The mystery religions and witchcraft covens owe a great debt to Judaism for conditioning the mainstream to accept the importance and secrecy of this name. The vocal praise of the name YHVH is reserved for the "elect" who learn the Cabala (and pay money to do so) and is forbidden by the "profane." Judaic doctrine is fundamental to selling the occult as a righteous practice.

Satan is the author of confusion and goes by many names. Many of the ancient pagan deities were Satan and his angels in other forms ("The Two Babylons," by A. Hislop). The Jews employ a number of false names for god in their rituals, which are also alternate titles for Satan and other powerful demons.

In the same manner, the Black Magician and Satanist invokes demons by name. In the Satanic Bible, Anton LaVey (Jewish) provides an extensive list of "infernal names" that, when summoned, provide the practitioner with super human abilities namely intelligence, power, skills in manipulation, enhanced creativity, material wealth, and the satisfaction of diverse lusts.

PRAYER
Jewish prayers are conducted in Yiddish, a composite language far from the intended pronunciation of the original Hebrew (A.C. Hitchcock, "The Synagogue of Satan," 1). The prayers in modern synagogues are nothing more than disguised demonic invocations. They are hypnotic spells, similar to the Enochian language of the Church of Satan.

Young Jews spend countless hours preparing for their Bar Mitzvah, which consists of memorizing long chants and proper cadence and tone. Most who complete the Bar Mitzvah will not be able to translate more than a handful of words. These young men and women have no idea what they are saying or to whom they are praying. Jews are invoking demons named adonai, elohim, el shaddai, zeba'ot, diyenu (Diana) et al in their rituals.

Vain repetitions and head-bobbing during Jewish prayers aid the entrance into a trance state. Large numbers of atheistic Jews engage in the pseudo-religious worship of status and knowledge.

As Bill Cooper writes, "The WORSHIP (a lot different from STUDY) of knowledge, science, or technology is Satanism in its purest form, and its god is Lucifer" ("Behold A Pale Horse," 70). Judaism fills its members with the same Satanic powers as the Church of Satan and Freemasonry.

CABALISM
The foundation of Cabalism is identical to Satanism: the reversal of the roles of God and Satan. It is the pursuit of hidden (occult) knowledge which allows one to achieve god-like abilities by calling on the so-called names of god. These are the names of fallen angels/demons/spirit guides who are the gatekeepers to occult knowledge (Gen 6:4, Jubilees, Enoch). While not all Jews actively practice Cabala, they all accept the highest Cabalistic name as their god--YHVH.

The infamous Cabalist and Satanist Aleister Crowley writes, "There are thus 72 'Angels'...these [names] are derived from the "Great Name of God"...The "Name" is Tetragrammaton: I.H.V.H., commonly called Jehovah. He is the Supreme Lord of...the whole Universe ("The Book of Thoth," 43). A number of other secret pronunciations of YHVH are used in the occult in addition to Yahweh and Jehovah.

"Of the 54 sacred names in the Jewish kabbalah, the primary one is YHWH" (R. Hathaway "Sacred Name of God? Or Blasphemy," remnantradio.org/Archives/articles/sacred_name.htm).

The Jewish creed, the Shema, states: "our Lord is One," so why invoke these other names?

DEMONOLOGY
The secret of the ancient Egyptians, and their modern disciples, the Freemasons, is the art of demonology for gaining power--mainly through the devil, Jehovah. 

In the Royal Arch degree, the Freemason "acknowledge[s] that the devil, in the guise of Jahbuhlun, is his sacred Lord"--the name Jahbulun being a "composite of Jahweh, Baal, and Osiris." He chants "Jah-buh-lun, Jah-buh-lun, Jah-buh-lun, Je-hov-ah" (Texe Marrs, Codex Magica, Ch. 4). Albert Pike discusses the Cabalistic/Masonic significance of IAHOVAH in great length in Morals & Dogma (66, 213, 401, 467, 519).

The name YHVH was injected into the text of the Old Testament by the Pharisees and others who practiced Babylonian Satanism (the precursor to Cabalism and Talmudism). For those who don't believe the Talmud is Satanic it proclaims that Christ is in Hell boiling in excrement and semen (Gittin, 56b,57a).

An agreement was forged between the Jewish Masoretes and the Catholic Church c. 1000 A.D. to change the name of God in the Hebrew Old Testament to the pagan name Yahweh/Jehovah via the tetragrammaton (remnantradio.org/Archives/articles/sacred_name.htm).

This explains Rosenthal's saying, "We are amazed by the Christians' stupidity in receiving our teachings and propagating them as their own."

In Henry Ford's words, "The Christian cannot read his Bible except through Jewish spectacles, and, therefore, reads it wrong." ("The International Jew," Vol. IV, 238).

GOD'S REAL NAME
The demonic disdain for humanity exhibited by the Luciferian Jew, Harold Rosenthal, typifies the end result of a lethal amalgamation: Jewish religious ritual combined with the worship of knowledge and self. The Jews as a people, by rejecting God and/or accepting Jehovah, have been given over "to a reprobate mind...Being filled with all unrighteousness..." (Rom 1:28-31).

Of course, Mr. Rosenthal was a member of an elite, openly Satanic minority among the Jewish people. Everyday Jews do not know that the god of their faith is in fact Satan hiding behind a mystical name. It is of no consequence to Satan whether he is worshiped deliberately or through subtle lies and deceptions (Gen 3).

The wise Solomon asks, "what is [God's] name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?" (Pro 30:4). God's name is אהיה AHAYAH (sometimes transliterated Ehyeh) meaning I AM. This is the name given to Moses along with the Law. "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you...this is my memorial unto all generations."(Ex 3:14-15). "I AM the Lord thy God...thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Exo 32:4-5).

Gehenna: Garbage, Murder, or Hell


GEHENNA: GARBAGE, MURDER, OR HELL

7/17/2018

Background
Gehenna is an English transliteration of the Greek word γέεννα, which is from the Hebrew word gê’ hinnom, literally meaning the valley of Hinnom. 
The Valley of Kidron was on the Eastern side of Jerusalem and connected with the Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna) on the south side.  About the 4th century A.D., the Kidron valley was also called the Valley of Jehosophat which means in Hebrew, the Valley of Judging. 

Eventually, the Hebrew name ge-hinnom (canyon of Hinnom) evolved into geenna (gehenna).

In the New Testament the actual word “Gehenna” is almost always translated as “hell”.  The following translations (i.e. in my collection) use the word Gehenna rather than the word “hell”:  Restored Holy Bible; Young’s Literal Translation; Concordant Literal Version.  The exeGesis Companion Bible translates as “Hinnom/the Valley of Burning”; and the Phillips version as “rubbish heap”.

If you are reading the KJV, the NET, or the NIV, whenever Jesus uses the word “hell”, just consider it to actually be the word “gehenna”.

Matthew 5:29 NET If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell (Gehenna).

Matthew 10:28 NET Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna).

Other instances, in the Gospels, include:  Matthew 5:22; 5:30; 19:9; 23:15; and 23:23.  Gehenna translated as hell are in the Gospels other than one instance in James.

The Hinnom Garbage Dump
Almost all sources agree that the section of the valley of Hinnom immediately outside of the temple area was used as a garbage dump.  Not just any garbage but a place for dead animals and various leftover animal parts that had been sacrificed in the temple.  It is also said that executed criminals were dumped there as well.  One read commentator said that sulphur was used to maintain a continuous fire to aid the burning of the rotting flesh of various types. 

Typically, flies and maggots were a permanent feature of the garbage dump.  Together with Sulphur this qualifies the statement of Jesus that Gehenna was a place: "Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:44).

Mark 9:44 is an abbreviated quote from Isaiah 66:24 where God states:  “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

It is not certain that the statement of God in Isaiah 66 was referring to a garbage dump or the sacrifice of babies to Moloch.  It is also not certain that Jesus was referring to the past ritual of sacrificing babies.  However, during His time on earth the area was a garbage dump of dead animal parts and humans that was infested with flies and maggots (worms).  Jesus was certainly aware of the Moloch issue although it is not certain if anyone during His time were familiar with the Moloch sacrificial system.

Todd Bolin of bibleplaces.com says archeological investigation claims that no evidence can be found to support a continual burning of flesh in the Gehenna area.

[Kimchi] maintained that in this loathsome valley fires were kept burning perpetually to consume the filth and cadavers thrown into it. However, Strack and Billerbeck state that there is neither archeological nor literary evidence in support of this claim, in either the earlier intertestamental or the later rabbinic sources.

An answer to Todd Bolin would be the following paragraph:

A Moloch cemetery unearthed recently contained the remains of more than twenty thousand children. The Greek author Kleitarchos described this practice of sacrificing infants to Baal three hundred years before Christ…..

Topheth – Moloch Sacrifice
Within the Hinnom valley was a place known as Tophet(h)  This location, in Jerusalem, is where pre-Christ worshipers, influenced by the ancient Canaanite religion, engaged in the human sacrifice of children to the gods Moloch and Baal by burning them alive.

Some claim the explanation for the “fire of Gehenna” is not necessarily due to a burning trash dump, but in the burning of sacrificed children to the Canaanite god known as Moloch.  Jeremiah is explicit that such sacrificial actions occurred there:

Jeremiah 7:31–32 (ESV)  And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My mind. Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it will no more be called Topheth, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere.

Topheth (Hebrew: תוֹפֶת‎; Greek: Ταφεθ; Latin: Topheth) was a location in Jerusalem in the Gehinnom where worshipers influenced by the ancient Canaanite religion engaged in the human sacrifice of children to the gods Moloch and Baal by burning them alive. Tophet became a theological or poetic synonym for Hell within Christendom

Topheth may come from the Aramaic root t-ph-t or the Hebrew toph or taph, meaning "to burn," while others interpret it to mean "altar" whereon children were sacrificed. Still others claim it means "drum," suggesting that they used drums to drown out the cries of the children being burned as sacrifices on the altar to Moloch. Perhaps there is an element of truth in all three suggestions.

One section of the Hinnom Valley was called Topheth (also Tophet or Topeth), where the children were slaughtered.

2 Kings 23:10 KJV  And he (King Josiah) defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Moloch.

Some may ask the question, “Why did they (Israel – Judah) ever stoop so low as to have their own children pass through the fires of Moloch at Topheth in this valley of Hinnom”? 

Another question that could be asked, “Why would many people engaging in recreational sex, without using birth control, kill a child by having an abortion?”  MOST OBVIOUS ANSWER: For most unmarried recreational sex participants it makes their lifestyle much easier, less costly (raising a baby is expensive), and their recreational sex can continue with very little downtime (although the post-psychological conditions are usually not considered).  See also:  Baal Sacrifice Abortion

Does Christian theology also teach that the God of heaven and earth can also only be appeased by having people burned in real fire endlessly in the pagan hell of hades or Gehenna?  Yes, and Christian theology teaches and preaches the identify of this fiery hell as the “lake of fire”.

Gehenna as a Symbol of Hell (or the Lake of Fire)
The traditional explanation that a burning rubbish heap in the Valley of Hinnom south of Jerusalem gave rise to the idea of a fiery Gehenna of judgment is attributed to Rabbi David Kimhi's commentary on Psalm 27:13. He maintained that in this loathsome valley fires were kept burning perpetually to consume the filth and cadavers thrown into it.

Two teachers, with posted articles concerning hell and Gehenna can be found immediately below.  Mr. Walvoord and Mr. Crockett are two esteemed Bible teachers.  It should be noted that both writers are deeply imbedded within the dispensation, 7 year tribulation of the Darby-Scofield conjecture.  Mr. Walvoord is a long-time associate of the Dallas Theological Seminary which, it is told, allows no other teaching than dispensationalism.

These two Bible teachers should give the reader an appropriate idea of the thoughts and beliefs many people have today.

John F. Walvoord
Mr. Walvoord is a long-time president of Dallas Theological Seminary.  He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1931. That fall Walvoord entered the fledgling Dallas Seminary, where he earned his bachelor's and master's of theology (Th.B, Th.M.) degrees, magna cum laude, in 1934 and doctorate in theology (Th.D.) in 1936.

In this place human sacrifices were offered to Moloch; these altars were destroyed by Josiah (2 Kings 23:10). The valley was later declared to be 'the valley of slaughter' by Jeremiah (Jer. 7:30-33). The valley was used as a burial place for criminals and for burning garbage, traditionally considered by the Jews the place of the final punishment of the ungodly. 

Whatever its historical and geographic meaning, its usage in the New Testament is clearly a reference to the everlasting state of the wicked, and this seems to be the thought in every instance.  In James 3:6 the damage accomplished by an uncontrolled tongue is compared to a fire which 'corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell (i.e. Gehenna).'  Though not always expressly stated, the implication is that the punishment will have duration and be endless (if it is not expressly stated then why does he teach an implication?).

William Crockett
Mr. Crockett has a B.A. in Philosophy (Univ. Winnipeg), M.Div. in New Testament studies (Princeton Seminary), and a Ph.D. in New Testament (Univ. Glasgow).  He has been a professor of New Testament studies at Alliance Seminary in New York for 30 years. 

"In the New Testament the final destination of the wicked is pictured as a place of blazing sulfur, where the burning smoke ascends forever. This would have been an effective image because sulfur fires were part of life for those who lived in the Jerusalem of Bible times. Southwest of the city was the Valley of Hinnom, an area that had a long history of desecration. The steep gorge was once used to burn children in sacrifice to the Ammonite god Moloch (2 Kings 23:10; Jer. 7:31; 32:35). Jeremiah denounced such practices by saying that Hinnom Valley would become the valley of God's judgment, a place of slaughter (Jer. 7:32; 19:5-7). As the years passed, a sense of foreboding hung over the valley. People began to burn their garbage and offal there, using sulfur, the flammable substance we now use in matches and gunpowder.

Last Words on Hell
The Bible, was originally written in (mostly) Hebrew and Greek. It uses the Hebrew word sheʼohlʹ (sheol) and its Greek equivalent haiʹdes (hades) more than 70 times. Both words are related to the aftermath of death or the grave.  The King James (and some other versions) seem to translate hades as hell.  The KJV and others even translate the place Gehenna, spoken by Jesus, as hell.  This interpretation can be confusing to those without a handy Greek-English thesaurus. 

As for the actual word 'Hell'...according to Wikipedia "The modern English word Hell is derived from Old English hel, helle (about 725 AD to refer to a nether world of the dead) reaching into the Anglo-Saxon pagan period, and ultimately from Proto-Germanic *halja, meaning "one who covers up or hides something...

Subsequently, the word was used to transfer a pagan concept to Christian theology and its vocabulary..."

Ecclesiastes 9:10 NET Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, because there is neither work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, the place where you will eventually go.

All of the proposed “last chance for salvation” timestamps some teachers have placed on the events of future history are nothing more than figments of their own blind deluded minds.  Everyone past, present, future, aborted, miscarried, or Amazon Indian will be reconciled to God and His Kingdom at some point in time.   Universal Reconciliation
