When God had struck down all the firstborn of the Egyptians, he had also executed the penalty for his judicial decision on the gods of Egypt. One of those gods was the firstborn of Pharaoh. The intriguing part in all of this is the fact that the pharaoh of the exodus was not a firstborn son. If he were, he would have died that night, so this Pharaoh is in both the scriptures and the list of Egyptian Pharaohs helpful for explaining the time of the sons of Jacob's exodus. The sole reason that God executes his judgment on the firstborn of Egypt is because the Egyptians believed that the Pharaoh was the firstborn son of God. Though the Egyptians believed that the Sun god Ra was the creator of all things, I, like God, ignore the fact that Ra exists, and therefore I point you to the fact that God is establishing who his firstborn son is in Exodus.

Pharaoh believed that he was the image of God on the earth. Incarnation is a slight hand of deception to prevent you from seeing that Pharaoh claimed to be the Adam found in Genesis 1:26. In doing so, we can deduce the fact that:

1. The Pharaoh believed that when he died, he had the sole right to be created in the image of God at his resurrection.
2. The Egyptians believed that through Pharaoh, they too could attain the resurrection and also be created in the image and likeness of God via belief in the Pharaoh.

With this understanding of why the Egyptians sought resurrection through Pharaoh, I have shown you—in small detail—that they twisted the message of the gospel, as Paul said here:

“18) [for] [the wrath] [of God] [is made known] [from] [Heaven] [against] [all] [profaneness] [and] [injustice] [of mankind] [who are detaining] [the] [truth] [in] [a pronouncement of guilty] 19) [because] [that] {which was} [understood] [{concerning} God] [is] [made known] [in] [them]; [for] [God] [showed] [it]  [to them] 20) [for] [the] [invisible {things}] [of him]—[from] [{the} creation] [of {the} world] [are clearly viewed]— [being understood] [by] [the] [things that are made], [even] [his] [eternal] [power] [and] [divine nature]; [so] [that] [they] [are] [without excuse] 21) [because] [after knowing] [God] [They did [not] acknowledge] {him} [as] [God] [neither] [were they grateful] [but] [they were futile] [in] [their] [imaginations] [and] [they were darkened] {in} [their] [unintelligent] [heart] 22) [professing] [to be] [wise ones] [they became asinine] 23) [and] [they changed] [the] [glory] [of the] [uncorruptible] [God] [into] [an image] [made like] [corruptible] [man] [and] [of birds] [and] [four-footed beast] [and] [creeping things]” Romans 1:18-23 —My Provisionary Hebrew Translation

Reading this, it is evident that Ham passed down a distorted version of the gospel message that Noah had believed and was declared righteous before the One True God. But Ham isn’t the only guilty party in that regard. All of Noah’s descendants were guilty because they all played some part in the Tower of Babel fiasco. Many generations had passed before that event took place; therefore, at some point in Peleg’s time, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their descendants distorted and lost an accurate understanding of the truth that Noah believed.

Out of all the mystery religions available during the time of Moses, God placed more importance on executing judgment on what the Egyptians believed than on the Babylonians/Chaldeans, the Canaanites, and their league of dupes in the land of Canaan. Egyptian beliefs, though a distortion of the truth, were closest to the biblical truth about Yahushuah Hamashiach. This is why I place a lot of my focus on what the Egyptians believed, not because I’m trying to dupe my genetic family members into idolatry but because the only way you can see the imagery and nuances of what Moses used in his writings—as the educated Egyptian royal priest that he was—you will not see the hidden message concerning Mashiah and God’s plan for this earth. By extension, you most certainly will not understand the prophets either. I know that is a preposterous statement, but the truth is true regardless of your sensitive feelings.

I want to show you a small portion of the place where Moses takes Egyptian ideas from his educational background and inserts them into the book of Genesis.

“And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 28:10-14

I have bolded the portion of interest. This portion comes from Moses’ understanding of the Egyptian Pyramid text. Here are two passages in the pyramid text that describe Moses' ladder, which he uses to hide the truth and mock the Egyptians' beliefs:

“Utterances 478:

971a. To say: Greetings to thee, Ladder of god;

971b. Greetings to thee, Ladder of Set.

971c. Stand up Ladder of god;

971d. stand up Ladder of Set; stand up Ladder of Horus

971e. which was made for Osiris, that he may ascend upon it to heaven and do service of courtier to Rē‘.

972a. Thou art come in search of thy brother, Osiris,

972b. after his brother Set had cast him on his side,

972c. on yonder side of Gḥś.ti.

973a. Horus comes, his lion-helmet on his head; his face he turns towards his father, Geb.

973b. N. is thy son, N. is Horus.

974a. Thou hast conceived N. as thou hast conceived the god, lord of the ladder,

974b. to whom thou hast given the ladder of the god, to whom thou hast given the ladder of Set,

974c. that N. may ascend to heaven on it and do service of courtier to Rē‘.

975a. Let also the ladder of god be given to N., let the ladder of Set be given to N.

976a. The eye of Horus glowers (?) on the wing of Thot,

976b. on the left side of the ladder of the god.

976c. O men, a uraeus-serpent (goes) to heaven. N. is the eye of Horus.

976d. After its foot has been stopped at every place where it was, N. goes as the eye of Horus goes.

977a. Be pleased that N. come among you, ye his brothers, the gods;

977b. rejoice at the approach of N., ye his brothers, the gods,

977c. as Horus rejoiced at the approach of his eye,

977d. after his eye was given (back) to him in the presence of his father, Geb.

978a. Every spirit, every god, who shall oppose his arm to N.,

978b. when he ascends to heaven on the ladder of the god,

978d. he shall not ferry over to the evening meal in Heliopolis,

978e. he shall not ferry over to the morning meal in Heliopolis.

979a. He shall guard himself, he has obligated himself, (he) who will see, (he) who will hear,

979b. that he (the deceased) ascends to heaven on the ladder of the god,

979c. appearing like the uraeus-serpent which was on the forehead of Set.

980a. Every spirit, every god who shall open his arms to N. (will be) on the ladder of the god.

980b. United for N. are his bones; assembled for him are his limbs;

980c. N. has sprung up to heaven on the fingers of the god, lord of the ladder.

Utterance 568:

1431a. To say: He is gone who went to his ka; Mḫnti-’irti is gone to his ka;

1431b. N. is gone to his ka, to heaven.

1431c. A ladder is made for him, upon which he mounts, in its name of "That which mounts to heaven."

1432a. His boat is brought to him by the d‘m-sceptres of the imperishable stars.

1432b. The bull (or, ox) of heaven lowers its horn, so that he may pass thereon to the lakes of Dȝ.t.

1433a. O N., thou dost not fall to the ground.

1433b. N. lays hold of the two sycamores, which are in the middle of yonder side of the sky,

1433c. which ferry him over, and they set him on the eastern side of the sky.”

I have provided these two utterances because it is clear that, like the dream that Jacob had, they came from Moses’ knowledge of the wisdom of Egypt. The ladder mentioned in the utterances that the dead Pharaoh or any follower of Pharaoh must say was used to ascend to heaven and live among the stars with his father Ra. The ladder played the central part in both the dream of Jacob and the utterances that contain the beliefs of the Egyptians. I will now provide you a statement from Yahushuah where he mocks this Egyptian belief.

“Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these. 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. John 1:49-51

Yahushuah is here mocking the Egyptians belief concerning the ladder that the sons of the false god Ra use to ascend and descend and was the means for the Pharaoh to reach the eastern sky being reborn in the image of the sun god Ra. Yahushuah uses a nuanced version of the statement that clearly points to events in Jacob's dream. The point is, only through Yahushuah can anyone who believes in him attain the resurrection and be created in the image and likeness of God. I am pointing these things out to you because they are the things that I am able to see now that the veil has been removed from the eyes of my heart. A veil that can only be removed when your heart is ritually cleaned via the sprinkling of the blood of the lamb that was killed for the forgiveness of our sins and a commitment to guard the requirements of the new covenant when you ate Yahushuah's parabolic flesh and drank his parabolic blood as a ritual parabolic pantomime stating that you have both consumed the word of the living God and the soul of the living God. This implies that your thoughts and actions will mirror those of the living God.

This is why I consider most people, who claim to know God, as pretenders, because in the face of certain situations, they are immediately biased. One of those stipulations of the new covenant is the fact that you must forgive your enemy. This is a challenging one among the Black community as a whole, but in specific, the Hebrew community. I can care very little about white people who claim to be Christian and racist. God has already stated that there is no place for them among his people. At the same time, if you break the stipulations of the new covenant, you will find yourself outside of our God’s will with no excuse because God has placed—if you are born again—his laws on your heart. This means that you have zero excuse because, unlike our fathers, who could not keep the law because their hearts were corrupt, our hearts were sprinkled clean, and then God wrote his laws on it, giving us the ability to fulfill the laws and commandments. 

What I just explained to you is the difference between one who still seeks to do things according to the law given to our ancestors and the one who simply believes the gospel concerning the promise of Yahshuah, God’s firstborn son, by accepting the favor (grace) that God freely gives, receiving God’s forgiveness after a genuine apology and belief in the gospel so our high priest in Heaven can sprinkle our hearts with the only acceptable blood that can remove our sins and wash our thoughts clean so we can walk in the newness of life. If you believe that you can get something special from God by sacrificing animals and birds, as the dupes in our God's land are trying to do today, you've told God you don't think Yahushuah's blood was enough. Sadly, many of our family in Africa—because of their deep need and desire to return to the land of Israel—have accepted Judaism and will follow a makeshift priesthood in sealing their fate.

One last thing I will mention, because it feels like the Spirit of God took over the keys of my keyboard and took us into a reproof, which may be much needed. You are unaware, and I know this, so I will inform you now so you can prepare to make a choice. The world is already in apostasy. The message of scripture has already been distorted and changed for the purpose of HaSatan. Those people who are in the land of Israel today have already committed themselves to the mark of the beast. Our family in Africa has already accepted the mark of the beast because they believe in the interpretations found in Judaism. For those who need a vision check, John's reference to the beast's mark on the forehead and hand refers to Moses' written and oral law he received from God. I will leave you with the place that John gets his information.

“For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen among you, nor shall any leaven be seen among you in all your borders. 8 You shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9 And it shall serve as a sign to you on your hand, and as a reminder on your forehead, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth; for with a powerful hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt. 10 Therefore, you shall keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year.” Exodus 13:6-10

I hope you see that the Passover information you need will serve as a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead so Yahuah's teaching can be in your mouth. Without that information, you will accept the mark of the beast like everyone else, who will drink from the cup of God's wrath, will sleep a perpetual death, and never rise again. The problem with people's understanding of the scriptures is that they believe that the mark of the beast is something that one will get via a chip, or credit card, etc. And this is why I study the Greek and Hebrew languages as hard as I can. The term “Mark” is the Greek word “χάραγμα” or “charagma.” The term is the same word used in Acts 17:27, which will give us insight into the mark of the beast:

“for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.” Acts 17:28-29 NASB

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.” Acts 17:28-29

I would translate these much differently, but they are sufficient enough for me to show you what I’m going to show you. The writer says that because we are God’s offspring, parabolically created in his image and likeness, we ought NOT THINK that God’s divine nature is like a graven image that is formed by the design and thoughts of man. Any idol is the work of man’s hands, if you did not know. That work is the byproduct of a man’s thoughts. The English terms “image,” “graven,” and “mark” are translations of the same Greek word “χάραγμα” or “charagma.” The point that John is making is twofold.

1. The mark of the beast is the idol that is created in the likeness of the beast. So in order to understand what John is stating, you must understand who the beast is that John is referring.
2. John uses the symbols of the forehead and the hand to refer to teachings about the lies of the beast, which serve as a sign on the hand and a reminder on the forehead, like the information hidden in the Passover ritual.

Therefore, the mark, image, graven work, or idol that people will receive is a false god, and the teaching about this false god. The thing that people will accept is found in scripture:

“Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

There you have it: the mark of the beast is the antichrist, the one who is the son of destruction. You will also find another form of him in the curse of the serpent in Genesis 3:14. He is the false god, the idol that mankind will accept as being the One true God. Judaism provides the most profound teaching on this subject, as they believe that Yahushuah is not the Mashiach. This is why I said that the world is already in the apostasy. Christians believe that God is coming for the Jewish people, whom they see as the genetic sons of Jacob. Therefore, Christians, those who claim to be, will accept the Antichrist as the One true God—Yahushuah Hamashiach. However, they are not alone; there are also brothers among us who believe in an early gathering before Yahushuah comes, so they want to flee America, and they are also deluded. Because they believe America is Babylon, they too are apostate to the truth. Paul stated that the gathering will occur during the day of the Lord. Given this, the day of the Lord represents God's wrath directed towards Babylon—the entire world that has adopted the mark of the beast, as I explain in my article "America, Mystery Babylon?" You Sure About that?” But these brothers are not alone; there are those among us who believe that Yahushuah is not God but a mere man who was engendered by Joseph and have also become apostate because they have not recognized the day of visitation. They too will accept the Antichrist as God because they have declared that God did not come in the flesh. They might as well forfeit playing games and join the other team across the Atlantic Ocean and accept Judaism. They are more fitting among those who cry “Cushi” when a face that doesn’t look like their own. At least I will have a small amount of respect for them. 

I could keep going, but I won't; my fingers hurt, and lunch is ready. I will get back to it in the next article. I’m sure the mark of the beast stuff has you intrigued. Unfortunately, those who do not have a love for the truth will not hear the deep well of information that God has prepared for his people. A feast that will be set in the desert that his bride will flee to when the Antichrist comes. Until the next time.

Shalom!
