Micah 5:1... Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

But you, Beit-Lechem near Efrat,so small among the clans of Y’hudah,out of you will come forth to me the future ruler of Isra’el,whose origins are far in the past, back in ancient times.

Neither is there SALVATION in any other; for there is NO OTHER NAME+ under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12

That at the NAME of YESHUA+ every knee shall bow, of beings in Heaven, beings in earth, and beings under the earth; and that every tongue should proclaim that YESHUA+ MASHIYACH+ is LORD, to the Glory of ALAHA, His+ FATHER.

HE+ Didn't Come Here to Lose !

YESHUA+ 2nd Coming With Angels in Glory

Hosanna to 
the son of David:
Blesssed is HE+ 
that cometh in the Name of the LORD; 
Hosanna in the Highest. 
Matthew  1:1 and  Matthew 21

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that HE+ did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 

Hosanna to the son of David; 


they were sore displeased, And said unto HIM+,
Hearest thou what these say? 

And YESHUA+  saith unto them, 

Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?


Luke 19


And it came to pass, when HE+ was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, HE+ sent two of HIS+  disciples, Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 

And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the LORD+ hath need of him. And they that were sent went their way, and found even as HE+ had said unto them. 

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The LORD+ hath need of him.

And they brought him to JESUS: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set JESUS thereon.

And as HE+ went, they spread their clothes in the way.


And when HE+ was come nigh, even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise ALAHA with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; saying, 

Blessed be the KING+ 
that cometh in the Name of the LORD: 
peace in Heaven, 
and glory in the Highest.


And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto HIM+, Master+, rebuke Thy+ disciples.
And HE+ answered and said unto them,

I+ tell you that, 
if these should hold their peace, 
the stones would immediately cry out!



John 12:13-15
Hosanna: 
Blessed is The KING+ of Israel
that cometh in the Name of The LORD. 

And YESHUA+ ,
when HE+ had found a young ass, 
sat thereon; 
as it is written,

Fear not, daughter of Sion; 
behold thy KING+ cometh 
sitting on an ass's colt.


Rejoice greatly, 
O daughter of Zion; 
shout, O daughter of Jerusalem:  
behold, thy KING+ cometh unto thee: 

HE+ is just, 
and having salvation;  
lowly, 
and riding upon an ass, 
and upon a colt 
the foal of an ass. 
Zechariah 9:9
  



MOSHIYACH+  ben DAVID 
.... had to come the FIRST TIME... 
to taste death for every man... 
   so that HE+ could  offer  
LIFE ETERNAL 
to all of mankind. 

MOSHIYACH+  ben DAVID 
will come AGAIN the Second Time... 
to Rule and Reign with 
a ROD of IRON, 
KING+ of kings and 
LORD of lords.

MOSHIYACH+  ben DAVID 
had to come the FIRST TIME
to fulfill prophecy....

Isaiah 9
for unto us a Child+ is Born, 
unto us a SON+ is Given
And HIS+ Name shall be called

WONDERFUL, 
COUNSELLOR, 
The MIGHTY GOD, 
The EVERLASTING FATHER, 
The PRINCE of PEACE... 

And the GOVERNMENT shall be 
Upon HIS+ Shoulder... 


Psalm 96

"Tell ye among the nations, 
The LORD hath reigned
from the wood..." 

( According to Justin Martyr, AD 110-125, 
these words were cut out from Scriptures by the Religious Authorities, 
along with Justin's citation of other prophetic Scriptures 
pointing to YESHUA+ HA MOSHIYACH+.  
See pages 234-235, Chapters 72 and 73,
Dialogue With Trypho  , 
Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. 1) 


The ALAHA of our fathers 
raised up YESHUA+ , 
Whom+ ye slew  
and hanged on a tree...
The Apostle Peter's Words recorded in Acts 5:30 

Who+ His+ own self  
bare our sins 
in His+ own BODY on the tree, 
that we, being dead to sins, 
should live unto righteousness: 
by Whose+ stripes 
ye were healed.

The Apostle Peter's words recorded in 1 Peter 2:24 


MOSHIYACH+  ben DAVID 
will come AGAIN the Second Time... 
to fulfill prophecy !


JUDE , verses 14 and 15

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,

 Behold, the LORD+ cometh 
with ten thousands of His+ saints,

To execute judgment upon all, 
and to convince all 
that are ungodly among them 
of all their ungodly deeds 
which they have ungodly committed, 
and of all their hard speeches 
which ungodly sinners 
have spoken 
against HIM+.

~  ~  ~
Now, observe what is written in the ( so-called in an Amazon Review  ) "golden, best, and historic"  Netzarim Publishing house's version of the  New Covenant,  at John 6:15, footnote 64, page 248 ,  mis-pag. edition.   

" Contrary to the naysayers, 
YESHUA+ had large support 
from the common people."  

Is this a true statement ?  YES, we see what was written in the Scriptures above and agree that THIS PART of footnote # 64 is true.

Now, observe what is written in the NEXT statement of footnote # 64:

"HE+ resisted being made King... "

Good!  HE+ indeed resisted kingship at this point in time, before HIS+ Work was completed on the CROSS... 

"knowing this office is reserved
 for His+ return..."

Correct.  HE+ would not be made king by the people, but by HIS+ HOLY FATHER; the "people" had no authority to make anyone king over them.


[ N.B.:  John 6: 12-15  ... Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that JESUS did, said, This is of a truth "THAT"  PROPHET+ that should come into the world.

When JESUS therefore perceived that they would come and take HIM+ by force, to make HIM+ a king, HE+ departed again into a mountain HIMSELF+ , alone.]


 " ... for HIS+ return 
as MASHIYACH+ ben DAVID. "

 NO.  

HIS+ Incarnation... The WORD+ Made Flesh and dwelling among us... brought us MASHIYACH+ ben DAVID the FIRST TIME.    

HE+ was MASHIYACH+ ben DAVID 
at HIS+ birth, 
in HIS+ Incarnation, 
when HE+ took upon HIMSELF+ 
the nature and form of man.( Philippians 2:7,8 )

Observe what is written in the FIRST book of the NEW Covenant, the FIRST verse itself.... Matthew 1:1 ... by a Hebrew Apostle of YESHUA+: 

"The book of the generation of 
YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+, 
the Son of DAVID, 
the son of Abraham." 


Observe what is written in Revelation 22:16  : 

I+, JESUS+ , 
have sent Mine+ angel 
to testify unto you 
these things in the churches. 

I+ AM 
the root 
and the offspring 
of David,

and the Bright and Morning Star.

No... MOSHIYACH+ ben DAVID 
did NOT COME here to lose!

Not the FIRST time, 
at His+ Incarnation,

Nor will HE+ lose
the second time !

The SUN Shall Be Darkened...

Year of OUR LORD, 7.18.2013

Isaiah 13

Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.


10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.


11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.


Dear Brethren: 
Let us strive to stand 
TOGETHER, 
for the times are upon us 
now. 

One does NOT have to be politically astute to realize what is happening amongst the Coptic Christians in Egypt, the Maronite Christians in Syria, or the Christians in the Sudan to realize that the times are upon us. 

One only has to follow along the daily news in the briefest possible way to read about the earthquakes and sinkholes, the monster storms, the massive coronal hole in the sun, to realize that the times are upon us. 

Those times are repeatedly spoken of in our Scriptures, for instance in Isaiah 13, Matthew 24,  Mark 13, and Revelation 18... to list a few. 

Thus, in the light of these Scriptures, let us look at CORDS vs PAIN, PANGS ( i.e., birth pains)  ... for in Thy Light we shall see light (Psalm 36:9).

Acts 2:24 whom ALAHA hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that HE+ should be holden of it.  

The word in question is CheBeL, which is found in Acts 2:24, translated as CORDS ... which is legally correct... equally as correct as translating it as PAINS or PANGS. 

Mrs. Janet Magiera, an Aramaic scholar and translator, has stated in her footnote #4 at Acts 2:24 of her Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Translation that the CheBeL form used in that verse is a homonym: 
it looks and sounds 
exactly the same
 when used as CORDS 
or 
when used as PAIN, PANGS.  

In her translation, Mrs. Magiera opted for CORDS, also, as did Mr. Younan and the "Golden, Best, and Historic" Netzarim version of the New Covenant. 

However, there is another option: One could check the use of CHeBeL against how it is found used in OTHER Scriptures... and how it is used prophetically. 

Let's look at Isaiah 13:8. In that Scripture, PANGS  is translated from the word Tsyreem, Strong's #6735. The word SORROWS  is V'CHaBaLeeM, Strong's #2256.  

The primary root of #2256 is CHaBaL , which is #2254... meaning: 

To wind tightly ( as a rope) , 
i.e., to bind
fig: to pervert, to destroy, 
also to writhe in pain 
(esp. of parturition*)
*Webster's: parturition = act or process to giving birth to offspring. 

The last word for PAIN in Isaiah 13:8 is Strong's #2342, which is  Y'KyLuN.  It means to twist or whirl, to writhe in pain, esp. of parturition. 

So, we see 2 words that are used when referring to child-birth throes. CHeBeL is often translated as SORROWS, even in the homonym form. 

Interestingly,  ChaBeL, CheBeL, is used when referring to 

  • PHYSICAL, CONCRETE cords ( Joshua 2:15,  Jer. 38:6 ), or
  • ACTIVE child-birth pains or pangs (Is. 66:7, Jer. 22:23), or 
  • ABSTRACT anguish of some sort (  Is. 5:18, Jer. 49:24, Job 21:17, 39:3) !

Now then... 
what does all this 
have to do with 
YESHUA+ HA MASHIKAH+ 's 
descent 
into the Heart of the Earth ? 

Was HE+ in the process of loosing 
the  "CORDS of  SHEOL ( death)" 
--- or --- 
bringing forth  a 
 New Creature..  
... i.e., the Christian Church
 ? 

Yes, HE+ certainly DID overcome all the confines and bindings that Death placed upon the human race 
and in particular, 
upon HIM+
and the Righteous Dead.
( Remember: Abraham rejoiced to see His+ Day. 
And he saw it and was glad ! ) 

But, 
the REASON 
HE+ endured the Cross 
and 
suffered the shame 
to overcome death 
was 
to FORM A NEW CREATURE 
IN CHRIST, IN MASHIKAH+
... the Church !

Acts 2:24, 
prophetically-speaking... 

  WHOM+ 
ALAHA hath raised up, 
having loosed 
the pains of death ( or Sheol*): 
--- not necessarily  "cords" of Sheol ( or death*) --- 
because it was not possible 
that HE+ 
should be holden of it. 

 *Sheol or death both refer to the nethermost regions of the unseen world. They are used interchangeably in Scriptures.  

When HE+ descended into Sheol after His+ death on the Cross, those BIRTH PANGS of that ONE New Nation Under ELOHIM occurred !  

That is what Psalm 139:15, 16 states: 

"My substance was not hid from  THEE when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the LOWEST PARTS OF THE EARTH.* 

"Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy Book all were written in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.* "

(Note Bene: * These phrases canNOT be referring to a human baby being formed. NO BABY is formed in the heart of the earth. 

The part that reads "... covered me in my mother's womb" , vs 13 , then refers, perhaps, to the heart of the earth. A more in-depth look at WOMB and MOTHER in  Psalm 139 in another blog, hopefully. SrJH. )

HE+ ascended on High and took --- with HIM+ --- Captivity captive, releasing all those in Abraham's Bosom in Sheol and moving them UP to the Paradise of ELOHIM, which is in Heaven. 

HE+ formed a New Nation... one part of which is Victorious and resting in the Heavenlies, and one part which is Victorious yet suffering as His+ Body, here on planet earth.... until HE+ returns and unites the Heavenly saints with the Earthly saints !

We are privileged to discover this Truth if we choose to interpret Acts 2:24 prophetically in the Light of the OTHER Scriptures, as the BIRTH PAINS of a NEW CREATURE, a NEW nation is formed against which the gates of SHEOL cannot prevail ... both NOW and FOREVER !

Amen and thankfully so.

BIRTH PANGS... or ... Cords ?

Khabouris C text ~ Courtesy of DUKHRANA.com


Aramaic Text and Khabouris Text of Acts 2:24 and text translations  
~ Courtesy of DUKHRANA.com



Acts 2:24 - ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܫܪܐ ܚܒܠܝܗ ܕܫܝܘܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܢܬܬܚܕ ܒܗ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܀ (analyze)

Acts 2:24 - But Aloha raised him, and loosed the bands of Shiul, because it was not possible that he should be holden in Shiul.  
~Dr. John Etheridge

Acts 2:24 - But God hath resuscitated him, and hath loosed the cords of the grave; because it could not be, that he should be held in the grave. 
~ Dr. James Murdock

Acts 2:24 - Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible for the grave to hold him. 
~ Mr. George Lamsa

Acts 2:24 - quem Deus suscitavit, solutis doloribus inferni, iuxta quod impossibile erat teneri illum ab eo. 
~ Latin Vulgate, Clementine

Acts 2:24 - ον ο θεος ανεστησεν λυσας τας ωδινας του θανατου καθοτι ουκ ην δυνατον κρατεισθαι αυτον υπ αυτου. 
~ New Testament in the Original Greek, Byzantine Textform 2005, Dr. Robinson and W.G. Pierpont



The two words in question in the highlighted phrase are:
pains vs cords 
and 
death vs Sheol.

Some scholars in the Aramaic camp state that PAIN is a "mis-translation" of the Greek ... ostensibly because PAIN does not follow the Aramaic translation.  

Mr. Paul Younan states, in his version of Acts 2:24: 

The Greek versions mis-translated this word as "pain" (c.f. Yukhanan 2:15 & 2 Samuel 22:6). 

The "golden, best, and historic" New Covenant version published by the Netzarim Publishing House included Mr. Younan's statement in footnote #19 at Acts 2:24, page 306 , mis-pag. edition, as justification for translating CHeB,Leyh as CORDS. 

HOWEVER, some Aramaic language scholars did NOT seem to follow either the Netzarim or Mr. Younan's line of thinking for CHeB,Leyh.  
Dr. George A. Kiraz's SEDRA3 ( found on Dukhrana.com at Acts 2:24 analysis page ) states the 4 definitions for that very word as: 
  • sorrow
  • travail
  • pangs
  • throes
In addition, CAL's language expert, Dr. Steve Kaufman, publishes the CAL definitions for that very word: 
  • #1 labor pains -- ( from JLAtg = Jewish Literary Aramaic, Targumic ,and Syr = Syriac dialects )
  • #2 a type of demon -- ( from JBAmb = Jewish Babylonian dialects ) 
On Dukhrana's analysis page of CheB, Leyh, the only verse in the entire New Covenant listed which has that particular word ( M pl emphatic; suffix = 3rd fem sing ) is Acts 2:24.

 Jerome's Latin Vulgate / Clementine, which is a re-working from the Vetus Latina manuscripts, calls it doloribus inferni

Doloribus = pain, anguish, grief, sorrow, suffering; resentment, indignation. 

[ Note: If anyone knows where to find the Old Latin or Vetus Latina on-line, I would greatly appreciate that information... having a desire to review the  Latin before it was re-written by Jerome in about 382 AD. Please inform me via a comment. Thank you kindly, SrJH+++ . ]  

The GREEK word... without any variants whatsoever in ALL the Greek manuscripts... is Odinas... which always means "the pain that accompanies childbirth birth pang, labor pang".   The definition never alludes to cords or ropes. [ Greek definition from Timothy Friberg's  Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament  , Baker Books, Grand Rapids, MI , 2000, p. 415.] 

HOWEVER, I applaud the Netzarim Publishing House and Mr. Younan  for taking a step in this direction: for looking unto verification of their work from Scriptures themselves. 

That is GOOD... for there is no higher authority, language and linguists notwithstanding.

ONE Nation Under GOD , The ELOHIM...

Khabouris C, Courtesy of DUKHRANA.com
That "nation" which was born in a Day! 

That "nation" which was born without a shot being fired!  

That "nation" which was the WORK of HIM that sitteth upon the Throne and The LAMB+ ... the work that occurred in the heart of the earth about 2000 years ago. 

YESHUA+ HA MASHIKAH+ did not descend into the heart of the earth in order to punish NOR to BE punished. 

Rather, HE+ descended into the heart of the earth to create a NEW Nation that had never before existed: That one nation under GOD... and it was not a political nor geographical unit; it was a spiritual entity. HE+ took the prepared  ones to Heaven, but at the same time, HE+ established others here upon earth as part of that New Nation.  

This spiritual kingdom was a "plural ONE", created to reflect with accuracy the character and united plurality of The ELOHIM:  The FATHER Almighty, HIS Holy, Only-Begotten SON+ YESHUA+ HA MASHIKAH+, and the Blessed RUACH haKADOSH ( the HOLY SPIRIT). 

Does Scripture bear this out? 
YES. 
Furthermore, it is especially clear when the Aramaic and Greek New Covenant texts are seen together, as a whole.  Each amplifies and complements the other... and thus the TOTAL is greater than the sum of the parts. 

Do we NEED this amplified picture?
YES. 
This splintered church age desperately needs all the details for the completed picture of what HE+ did "down there" in order to understand what HE+ is going to do "up here" at HIS+ great and imminent return. 

WHY do we need to see this picture 
accurately? 

As our precious Christian brethren in Syria, the Sudan, Indonesia, North Korea, India, the Sinai, and in countless other locations are being hounded, hunted, and injured with intense, demonic hatred... we need to encourage and help them in any way open to us. 

We need to help these dear martyrs and confessors to stand firm with the hope that is laid up before them in MASHIKAH+. This New Nation Under GOD is part of that Eternal Hope. 

In addition, we need to gird up our OWN loins and be prepared to stand strong for that same Truth, as we inevitably will be facing the same hatred, the same hostility, the same harm that is PROMISED to come upon all the earth. 

The ELOHIM is no respecter of persons; HE loves all, but has no favorites that will be excluded from this last great persecution of HIS+ people. 

NO. No physical nation is yet that "one nation under God" and no physical nation is that distinct "Israel of GOD,"  ...yet. 

His+ Kingdom is not YET of this world, because if it were, then would His+ Servants fight. 

His+ Kingdom NOW is spiritual... currently scattered out among all kindred, tongues, peoples, and nations... in addition to the Church Triumphant in the Heavenly realms which HE+ established as HE+ "took captivity captive."  

But, there is coming a Day when they will be brought together into One Fold, with One SHEPHERD+ , the whole house of Israel... the Prince of EL. 

Keeping that clearly in mind, let us do as the ancient Bereans and "see if it be so" from Scriptures. 

The next blogs, LORD be willing, plan to include the details,  the parts of the puzzle, to see how it all fits together, making ONE NATION, UNDER GOD , The ELOHIM.

We will begin by looking at the Aramaic and Greek words in Acts 2:24, in the prophetic realm. 

YES, we need each other.

The BIRTHING of a NATION ... from Acts 2:24

... According to the Aramaic TEXT of Acts 2:24

Acts 2:24 in the Peshitta Text
KHABOURIS C ~ Courtesy of DUKHRANA

The Aramaic Text of Acts 2:24 can be translated, with impunity, like the "Golden, Best, and Historic" version, published by the Netzarim Publishing House, did it: 

"But ALAHA ( according to the Aramaic text above) loosed the cords of Sheol  and raised HIM+ because it was not possible that HE+ be held in Sheol."

Others, no doubt, also have translated that highlighted word in the Aramaic Text, CHeBeL, as "cords."

CHaBaL, CHeBel, CH-B-L,  however printed, with or without vowel pointings, has 4 roots and 10 entries in the etymological dictionary, according to its learned author, the linguist, Rabbi Dr.  Ernest Klein. [ See full references at the bottom].

These four roots carry the definitions of CH-B-L as:

  • To act corruptly, ruin, destroy >>> destroyer, woes
  • To pledge ... may derive from root #4
  • To writhe, travail >>> pain, pangs, throes of birth
  • To bind >>> cord, rope, rigging, cables
Interestingly enough, it seems that only the vowel pointing is the only indiction of WHICH meaning CH-B-L might have in any given sentence. As a matter of fact, the G, B, and H Netzarim version of the New Covenant has CH-B-L pointed like this: 


hyl,bj,


ALSO of interest is Mrs. Janet Magiera's footnote #4 at Acts 2:24 in her Aramaic Peshitta New Testatment Translation. She has studied Aramaic for over 30 years. Her comment on CH-B-L : 

"Cords is homonym with "birth pangs" in Aramaic."

Now, Merriam-Webster's 7th Collegiate defines homonyms as  "one or two or more words spelled and pronounced alike but different in meaning , such as pool of water and the game of pool.
