Homilies of the Psalms and Prophets: Tiger of Ignorance

Tiger of Ignorance

Science has swallowed modern so the cure for all ills is said to be more mouth of the math. To compete with China and India science would swallow whatever is left. The voracious appetite of previous centuries is surprisingly unglutted; it has made a third of the population morbidly obese. Science has swallowed but appetite grows. The tiger of ignorance makes Bullinger obsolete who said that the universe was created in Virgo, the time of Rosh Hashanah, the new year. What import is it that the universe is created in Virgo? Is it not obvious Virgo was created after the universe? Did Psalm 1 come first, and after it Psalm 2? Rosh Hashanah shows how the issue of delight and wonder may meditate the law of the Lord day and night.

All this and not is said and not said in Psalm 1. The wonder of biblical background narration. Read Erich Auerbach in "Odysseus' Scar." Talk about a seed! Nurtured and grown it is the salvation of the world.

A Point of View

A third example of the demolition of the Name, the crowning achievement at the very top of deceptions, was that miracle of logic begun in 5th century Babylon during the Captivity, that out of respect for Yahweh his name would not be said at all. Among pagans the Name was then called God, but in Israel, ha Shem, or The Name, with the appendage, Blessed Be He, in English spelled G-D, as if leaving out the vowel showed respect, as if not saying The Name at all showed respect. LORD was substituted for Yahweh in English, Adonai in Hebrew, Kyrios in the Greek. Which of these think you Jesus meant when the said, “I have declared Thy Name unto the men and will declare it” (Jn 17)? Thus that Name again and again uttered from the Red Sea and the Patriarchs to the prophets, Name above all other names, was lowered to be compared to the generic gods that inhabited all nations. This was done 6,518 times in and to the text.

It’s a pretty piece of logic that says "you shall not take the name of Yahweh Elohim in vain" (Exodus 20:7) means to ban the Name from human utterance, especially from those enjoined to speak it and seek it for their salvation. So the Yahweh who rained bread and could not be defeated, whose arm was salvation and whose hand and Name were the strong tower the righteous run into and are safe, was made extinct. So the third commandment, you shall not take away the Name of Yahweh, was taken away out of a spirit of holiness, and to honor its sacredness, that is backwards, never again uttered. Too sacred means backwards, from remembering your life in reverse order, which good Gnostics do nightly, to Tantrics who labor to keep their sheep in the pen at night. These have seen whole societies of spiritual virgins, so why not read scripture backwards, as Gnostics have done for years, ever since Isaiah said, "those who pursue their own imaginations...who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil...who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny...are too sacred" (Isaiah 65).

Too sacred means attributing origins to acts known by divination, a divination that occurs by drugs, which is the religion of Baal. Baal Gad, Baal Fortune, below Mount Hermon, “Ba’al (Bel, Belos) was the ancestral and national deity of the Semites, the founder of Babel (Babylon), according to secular history, and identified with Zeus, Jupiter, Ammon, Asshur, Assur, Kronos, and Bel-Marduk. Morris Jastrow, Max Müller, and W. H. Roscher all agree: Baal is the Babylonian sun deity. The Ba’als of the nations were sun deities, and Ba’al worship means sun worship," which being interpreted means Zeus worship in all the churches and in the UN. So passed 25 centuries.

Old Testament Torah believed many ways to emphasize the letter, that "the rules and laws of Torah are its body, the histories and stories in Torah are the garments that clothe its mysteries, and the soul of the Torah consists of the mysteries themselves." The revelation of these mysteries in words, directly apprehended, continues to be expressed. How to directly apprehend mystery is a study itself, but the word is its expression. How to perceive word and mystery? Answer, as opposite of the spirit of pharmakos and shamans in every way. Revelations 18.23 says that by the spirit of pharmakos all nations were deceived. The mystery must be seen naked. Pharmakos falsely clothes. In the Apocalypse, which takes its authority here, any intervention between the mystery and the soul by drugs, shaman or other is deception itself.

Perception of The mystery has been likened to boring a hole in the lobe of the ear and pinning it to the door, which has everything to do with hearing as one born of the spirit, or as said in another place, he wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen as one being taught. So further, I have more insight than all my teachers. This insight no more transfers by words than life is known by the dead. When my ear you have opened, (Deut 15.17, Isa 50.4, Ps 40.6, Ps 119.99) the text puts on an ephod, but hears the voice itself.

No more than a bride knows the mind of her husband by giving herself to another man before she marries can this be known by taking the soul drug. The drugs are known, but are not a way to know. Drug clothes will have you comparing your husband to an idol when you want to be wholly enveloped, criticizing him for his acts when he does not act like an idol, for he is in fact the one, the only one to hear.

Idols

To substitute slogans for ancient truth and modern-built figments of history, Nebuchadnezzar’s giant gold man and the Trojan Horse were made, dressy starchitectures more than buildings, nano scale headless frogs, hybridoma mice, humanzees, GMO seed and much else that idolizes itself in the continual transgression of nature, that steals lives without acknowledging the theft, calls it something else. Passers-by can see the guilt-harnessed bridges pulled into space, avant-garde pop Babel, Auschwitz gulag, "desaparecidos," prison camps, experiments, infrastructures of death, mutants of high tech.

Nunca mas! Science, politics, religion and myth exist to further this Emperor Shibboleth in worship of the Self-immortal slogan. Gods and the transformation of men into gods by gurus combined, Roman worship of the state and the sun, this proper service would promise entrance to the Milky Way, like an entrance to the Golden Age.

It’s easy to manipulate a casual reader into something partially true, in this case that, “most books of the Old Testament speak of “the gods” as existing realities—real spiritual beings with minds of their own” (McDermott. pdf), “divine reality.” So what to make of these gods? The superstructures of this view tower over the landscape, creating shadows. They are inhabited by a diverse group from Richard Dawkins to Creational Monotheists, whoever they are, and seek in their buildings of rhetoric means to circumscribe even Isaiah (note 2), conflating elements into their own hybrid. But cut to the chase: “O Yahweh our Elohim, Adonim (Lords) instead of Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only will we make mention of Thy name. They are deified men, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all memory to perish” (Isaiah 26. 13-14, A. B. Traina and KJV).

Not to disrespect the gods, these adonim are compared to men, sometimes called false gods, who do not rise, as opposed to men and Messiah who do. Ezekiel says, “in the pride of your heart you say, “I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas…But you are a man and not a god… will you then say, “I am a god,” in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a man, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you” (Ez. 28. 3f, 9, NIV) This concerning the king of Tyre is all the more addressed to the chief god of Mammon, Baal and Saturn, the one who was “in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you…among the fiery stones…blameless in all your ways from the day you were created, till wickedness was found in you…and you will be no more” (13 f, NIV).
