The Three Heroes

10 This is a list of the leaders over David’s special soldiers. These heroes became very powerful with David in his kingdom. They and all the Israelites supported David and made him king, just as the Lord had promised.

11 This is a list of David’s special soldiers:

Jashobeam the Hacmonite was the leader of the king’s special forces. Jashobeam used his spear to kill 300 men at one time.

12 Next there was Eleazar son of Dodai from Ahoah. Eleazar was one of the Three Heroes. 13 Eleazar was with David at Pasdammim. The Philistines had come to that place to fight a war. There was a field full of barley there. The Israelites ran away from the Philistines. 14 But the Three Heroes stood there in that field and defended it. They defeated the Philistines. The Lord gave the Israelites a great victory.

15 Once David was at the cave of Adullam, and three of the Thirty Heroes went down to meet him by a rock near the cave. At the same time the Philistine army was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 Another time David was in the fortress, and a group of Philistine soldiers was stationed in Bethlehem. 17 David was thirsty for some water from his hometown, so he said, “Oh, if only I could have some water from that well by the gate in Bethlehem.” 18 So the Three Heroes fought their way through the Philistine army and got some water from the well near the city gate in Bethlehem. They took it to David, but he refused to drink it. He poured it on the ground as an offering to the Lord. 19 David said, “God, I cannot drink this water. It would be like drinking the blood of the men who risked their lives to get this water for me.” That is why David refused to drink the water. The Three Heroes did many brave things like that.

Other Brave Soldiers

20 Joab’s brother, Abishai, was the leader of the Three Heroes. Abishai used his spear against 300 enemies and killed them. He was as famous as the Three Heroes. 21 Abishai was even more famous than the Three Heroes. He became their leader, even though he was not one of the Three Heroes.

22 Then there was Benaiah son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel. He was the son of a powerful man. Benaiah did many brave things. He killed two of the best soldiers in Moab. One day when it was snowing, Benaiah went down into a hole in the ground and killed a lion. 23 And Benaiah killed a big Egyptian soldier. That man was about 7 1/2 feet tall. The Egyptian had a spear that was very large and heavy. It was as big as the pole on a weaver’s loom. Benaiah had only a club. He grabbed the spear in the Egyptian’s hands and took it away from him. Then Benaiah killed the Egyptian with his own spear. 24 Benaiah son of Jehoiada did many brave things like that. He was as famous as the Three Heroes. 25 Benaiah was even more famous than the Thirty Heroes, but he was not one of the Three Heroes. David made Benaiah the leader of his bodyguards.

Judges 2: God Sent An Angel To Remind The Israelites Of His Promise To Them And Their Disobedience To Him

1 The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you,

2 and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall break down their altars.’ Yet you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this?

3 And I have also said, ‘I will not drive them out before you; they will become traps for you, and their gods will become snares to you.’”

4 When the angel of the Lord had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud,

5 and they called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to the Lord.

Disobedience and Defeat

6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance.

7 The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.

8 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten.

9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.

11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served the Baals.

12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They aroused the Lord’s anger

13 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

14 In his anger against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.

15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

16 Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders.

17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them. They quickly turned from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the Lord’s commands.

18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the Lord relented because of their groaning under those who oppressed and afflicted them.

19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their ancestors, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.

20 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, “Because this nation has violated the covenant I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me,

21 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.

22 I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their ancestors did.”

23 The Lord had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.

Judges 2: 6-15. "North of the Storm."

There is a theme and variations that runs through the Tanakh and also human history. Things get better, then they lapse once again. It is safe to say as we enter the cusp of World War III human beings do know how to govern themselves they just do not entirely wish to do so for very long.

Persons who do not want to get with the program are called Philistines, "tunnelers." Philistines include Mormons, Evangelicals, Republicans, fundamentalist Muslims, the persons occupying the Kremlin, North Korea, much of Africa, and around 55% of America if you view the current polls.

Tunnelers tunnel under the Law and the laws, using all kinds of freaky spooky stories to explain the rationale for their errant and misanthropic behavior. They disguise their intentions behind odd phrases, bizarre theories using these to cover politicians in purple cloaks. Then they murder, rape, steal, and lie their way through our lives right at their sides.

The Torah and its most important spokesperson, the Christ said none of these apply. There is One Spirit and its spirit must permeate the activities of the government. The government must reflect the will of God as surely as if it were a churchgoing entity itself.

When an asshole or a group of them rise up and deign to turn the government against the people and the Spirit of God, they must be torn down and destroyed. This is also the essence of the Law, called Joshua, son of Nun, "Salvation is the son of Posterity."

Disobedience and Defeat

6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. 7 The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.

8 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[b] in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.

11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served the Baals. 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They aroused the Lord’s anger

13 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. 14 In his anger against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.

15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

The strange terms first:

Joshua=to cry out for independent economic freedom

he verb ישע (yasha') means to be unrestricted and thus to be free and thus to be saved (from restriction, from oppression and thus from ultimate demise). A doer of this verb is a savior.

Nouns ישועה (yeshua), ישע (yesha') and תשועה (teshua) mean salvation. Adjective שוע (shoa') means (financially) independent, freed in an economic sense.

Verb שוע (shawa') means to cry out (for salvation). Nouns שוע (shua'), שוע (shoa') and שועה (shawa) mean a cry (for salvation).

Nun= Posterity, Fish

Timnath Heres= Discrimination, to become an agent of the Sun

The interrogative pronoun מן (man) means "what?" but the preposition מן (min) means "out of" or "from". The latter is often deployed as prefix, in which only the מ (m) is written. Nouns formed from "מ plus root" commonly describe an "agent" or "place-of" whatever the action of the root describes.

The core function of these words is to distinguish an entity from its environment: hence to distinguish. In Proto-Indo-European appears a strikingly similar root, namely men-, from which we get words like mnemonic and mind (and money).

Verb מנה (mana) means to count or assign or partition (to demarcate a thing from where it emerged from). Nouns מנה (mana) and מנת (menat) mean portion or part. Noun מנה (maneh) is a unit of weight; the mina. And noun מנה (moneh) means time (not clock time but as in ten "times").

Ephraim=The temple of fruitful learning, "bulls in a stable."

The verb פרר (parar) means to split, divide and usually make more, expand or multiply. This root belongs to an extended family that also contains פרץ (paras), to break (through), פרש (paras and parash), to spread out or declare, פרס (paras), to break in two or divide, and פאר (pa'ar) means to branch out or to glorify.

The Bible is not concerned with political goings on and only with the evolution of the wisdom tradition, and thus with the rise of information technology (from cave paintings to blockchain). That said: our word "science" comes from the Greek verb σξιζω (schizo), which means to split, divide and make more.

Verb פרה (para) means to bear fruit or be fruitful. Noun פרי (peri) means fruit in its broadest sense. Noun פר (par) means young bull and פרה (para) means young heifer. Note that the first letter א (aleph) is believed to denote an ox-head, while its name derives from the verb אלף (aleph), to learn or to produce thousands.

The second letter, ב (beth) is also the word for house (or temple or stable). The familiar word "alphabet," therefore literally means "stable of bulls" or "house of divisions" or "temple of fruitful learning".

Mount Gaash= "the eruption, the quaking, storm."

The Angels love to talk about themselves like they are the equivalent in power to natural disasters. The greatest of these takes place after the introduction of the alphabet, reading, writing, and arethmatic to manking. He surely does not know how to handle himself one way or the other.

To go North of the Storm into the Eye of the Sun, Timnath-Serah is what they really want us to do but most of the time we stop short and choose to become hemorrhoids within each others' rectume holes instead.

Baal=a god on the ground. Bad, very bad.

Egypt=Temple of Pitah. the Confederacy. A place of profanity and pain.

Ashtoreths= Unity of Instructions. Notice the term contains "torah" but an Ashtoreth is not quite a Torah.

The verb עשת ('ashat) probably describes the process of how loose elements contract and become a smooth, solid union: to be or become cohesive.

Noun עשת ('eshet) appears to describe a "solid" or "cohesive" body part, possibly the sexual organs. Adjective עשות ('ashot) means smooth in the sense of uncontaminated (of iron).

Nouns עשתות ('ashtut) and עשתון ('eshtona) describe a mental function, and particularly a consistency of thought or consciousness.

Noun עשתי ('ashte) means one.

We must not stop short of the objective, called Mashiach, "global ethical responsibility". For Mashiach to work, every human being needs to educated, treated well and governed fairly and with robust economics. There mustn't ever be a shortage, stoppage, inflation, wars, violence, disruptions, or freaks or weird people running for office, suggesting we follow an Ashtoreth instead of the Guide to success.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 6-7: They went to take possession of the land. Land is for now, it is for the sake of posterity, it is all the traditions and values needed to ensure they remain safe and profitable. The best way to secure the land is through the study of the Torah and the observance of Shabbat.

Shabbat is the antidote to sacrilege and slavery and is the mainstay of all religious practice on the planet earth.

The Value in Gematria is 11243, גיאבד‎ ‎, will lose gyabed, "slavery to the ravine will end."

v. 8-9: North of Mount Gaash. The Value in Gematria is 7883, זר‎לחג‎ ‎ ‎"A foreigner for the holiday."

Jews are required by the Haggadah to champion the end of slavery in the world and adovocate for the general prosperity of the human race. After the arrest and imprisonment of Donald Trump and the Republican Party, the Russians are our top priority. Their successful liberation from the Kremlin will turn this world back around.

Once the Russian theater is free of tyranny and returned to a state of commonwealth, mankind can focus on getting rid of the problems in the rest of the world in the same manner, from a position of confidence, strength, resolve, and righteousness.

Those Chinese shipyards have to be destroyed and the reign of the Chinese Communist Party has to end. The threats of the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah need to be eliminated.

One by one, governments and cultures that refuse to comply with rule of law must be replaced. This is all entailed in inviting foreigners to the Passover.

v. 10: After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. The Value in Gematria is 8752, חזהב‎ ‎, khazab, "they grew up with the father of falsehood."

v. 11-12: They did evil in the eyes of the Lord. The Value in Gematria is 12062, יבאֶפֶס‎וב‎‎, yabefesov "They bypassed God."

v. 13-14: In his anger against Israel the Lord gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. The Value in Gematria is 8131, חאגא‎, haga, "by arriving and touching."

This does not mean God allowed the Jews to be plundered, it means he sent his prophets to rescue them.

v. 15: They were in great distress.The Value in Gematria is 10681, יוחא, "John", "they transfigured by the Grace of God, they learned how to be gracious."

The verb חנן (hanan) means to be gracious or to favor. Nouns חן (hen), חנינה (hanina), תחנה (tehinna) and תחנון (tahanun) mean favor or grace. Adverb חנם (hinnam) means freely or gratis, and adjective חנון (hannun) means gracious.

All religion boils down to Grace. Grace is the product of great learnedness and a kind temperament, it represents the pinnacle of a human life. Persons in positions of power over the suffering are obligated by rule of law and the sacred tenets of religion to understand how to deliver it and maintain the conditions for its dispersal.

Those Chinese ships are not being made to deliver flowers, nor are the Russians planning to tire of war anytime soon. All misconceptions about the role of Grace in securing our future from these great enemies of mankind and the ones we are homegrowing have to come to an end. Every Jew on earth must play their part.
