Quote from BOOK OF JASHER – The book of Jasher
is also referred to in the Book of Joshua and Second Samuel.
Yasher 11 - 1 And Nimrod son of
Cush was still in the land of Shinar, and he reigned over it and dwelt there,
and he built cities in the land of Shinar.
2 And these are the names
of the four cities which he built, and he called their names after the
occurrences that happened to them in the building of the tower.
3 And he called the first
Babel, saying, Because YHVH there confounded the language of the whole earth;
and the name of the second he called Erech, because from there YHVH dispersed
them.
4 And the third he called
Eched, saying there was a great battle at that place; and the fourth he called
Calnah, because his princes and mighty men were consumed there, and they vexed
YHVH, they rebelled and transgressed against him.
7
And notwithstanding this, Nimrod did not return to YHVH, and he continued in
wickedness and teaching wickedness to the sons of men; and Mardon, his son, was
worse than his father, and continued to add to the abominations of his father.
8
And he caused the sons of men to sin, therefore it is said, From the wicked
goeth forth wickedness.
14
And Abram knew YHVH, and he went in his ways and instructions, and YHVH his
Elohim was with him.
15
And Terah his father was in those days, still captain of the host of king
Nimrod, and he still followed strange gods – End quote.

History records the
following about Nimrod:
“Nimrod, the King, took a
wife. The wife Nimrod chose was his mother. So the “son” became
both the husband and son of the mother. In effect making this marriage a
“trinity” union in as much as the “husband” was the same person as the “son”
united as “one” with the wife/mother. So Nimrod married his mother,
Semiramis, and she became the Queen of Babylon. It was Semiramis from
which the religion surrounding Nimrod and the planets (astrology)
evolved. Nimrod the mighty and ruthless murderer was killed for his
crimes against humanity by the sons of Noah. His body cut into pieces and
distributed all over his kingdom by his enemies. In the face of Nimrod’s
death, Semiramis had to somehow maintain her grip and power over the
people. In order to solidify her power she “invented” a religion for the
people that would keep Nimrod’s control over them even after his death.
She then gave birth to a son named Tammuz whom she claimed was the
reincarnation of Nimrod. So through the belief that Tammuz was
"Nimrod in the flesh" the queen was able to subdue the people of
Babylon. So Tammuz was “Nimrod in the flesh” and “one” with his father
who was “one” with his wife/mother through marriage… the unholy concept of a Trinity
is born.”
“The Queen of Heaven” is among all cultures and
worshipped as the primary head of this false religion. Even the children
of Israel fell into the worship of Semiramis, The Queen of Heaven, and YHVH
sent them the prophet Jeremiah with a warning: Jeremiah 44:17-29 “
“Together, Semiramis and her son/husband, Nimrod
started this occult religion of sacrificing babies to Moloch, aka Satan which
they especially did on the winter solstice and the vernal equinox in the spring
also called “Easter ‘Sun’ Day.” Nimrod’s name literally means “tyrant,
rebellion.” The city of Rome was once known as Saturnalia, “The
city of Saturn,” and in the Chaldean mysteries, the Babylonian dictator
Nimrod was deified as Saturn. His birthday was celebrated on December 25th
or “Saturnalia.” In Chaldee, Saturn is spelled as “STUR” which totals 666:
Shin = 60
Taw = 400
Waw (U) = 6
Resh = 200
Grand
Total = 666
Semiramis (“queen of heaven”)
gave birth on December 25th to another son named Tammuz
(Ezekiel 8:14) and she ordered the Babylonians to go into the groves
(forest) and place a gift under the tree to honor Nimrod who was “cut
down” like a tree (Isaiah 14:12-19). She also ordered the people to
cut down a tree, bring it into their homes and decorate it with silver and gold
balls to symbolize Nimrod’s testicles (Jeremiah 10:3-4).”
Jer 10:2 Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn
the way of the gentiles,1 and do not be awed by the signs of the
heavens, for the gentiles are awed by them.2 Footnotes: 1Lev.
18:3, Dt. 12:30 & 18:9, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2Dt.
4:19 & 17:3.
Jer 10:3 “For the
prescribed customs of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the
forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.
Jer 10:4 “They
adorn it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it
does not topple.
“Antiochus Epiphanies was also one of the many
historical Anti-Messiahs (Antichrists) whose given name “Epiphanies” adds
up to 666 in the Greek alpha-numberic system.
These were the new laws that Antiochus set up:
You shall profane the Sabbath.
These were the new laws that Antiochus set up:
You shall profane the Sabbath.
You shall
change the set times (festivals) and laws.
You shall set up idols.
You shall eat unclean animals.
You shall not circumcise.
You shall forget Torah.
The persecutions began in 167 B.C. in the days of Antiochus, but 3.5 years later, the Temple was taken back and rededicated in 164 B.C. This became known as “The Feast of Dedication” (Chanukah) which our Messiah observed in John 10:22.
These laws created by an Antichrist leader named Antiochus are the very same laws that Constantine would later repeat and this is what the entire Christian world is living by today!

False
religion like the Tower of babel is a place of false security. Nimrod perhaps
thought that they could create a structure that would save them from another
flood.
Modern
theology assures us that YHVH will never curse mankind again because we are
living in the dispensation of grace. The teaching of scripture is that Yahshua
came to deliver us from the curse. However ongoing unrepentant rebellion among
believers will bring a terrible curse.
Mal 4:5 “See, I am sending you Ěliyah1 the
prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה. Footnote: 1Lk.
1:17.
Mal 4:6 “And he
shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the
children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter
destruction1.” Footnote: 1Zech. 14:11.
Note
it’s the contempt we show for our fathers – Abraham, Yitchak and Yakov – and
for righteous Torah seeking patriarchal authority that will bring utter
destruction of the earth
False
religion will always try to undermine the authority of the father. This spirit
is currently out of control, we call it feminism and it is feuled by the very
demonic principality called the “Queen of heaven.” We are living in a time of
rampant divorce and sexual licence.
Let
us remind ourselves of the letter our Messiah wrote to the assembly of
Thyatira.
Rev 2:20 “But I hold against you that you allow that
woman Izeḇel, who calls herself
a prophetess, to teach and lead My servants astray to commit whoring and to eat
food offered to idols.
Rev 2:21
“And I gave her time to repent of her whoring, and she did not repent.
Rev 2:22
“See, I am throwing her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery
with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their works.
Rev
2:23 “And I shall slay her children with
death. And all the assemblies shall know that I am the One searching the
kidneys and hearts. And I shall give to each one of you according to your
works.
Our Torah portion:
Gen 11:1 And all the earth had one language1
and one speech. Footnote: 1Hebrew lip
Gen 11:2 And it came to be, as they set out from the
east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinʽar1, and
they dwelt there. Footnote: 1Earlier name for Baḇel
Etymology
and meaning of the name Babel
The Sumerian name of
the city we know as Babel or Babylon was Bab-ilim, and that means Gates
Of The Deities. But the Scripture refers to Babel meaning “confusion.” This seems to have been like a portal in the
spiritual world where strong demonic powers and principalities found access on
to earth through men and woman who had so given themselves over to the control
of ha satan.
Once again our attention is drawn to the several
genealogies given to us in the Torah. Scholars believe these names tell a
redemptive story – see website:
Ber/Gen 5 - The Elohim-Man is appointed, a mortal
man of sorrow is born! The Glory of Elohim shall come down from heaven and
teach men that by means of His death He shall comfort those who mourn.
This week’s Torah portion reads something like:
‘The fame of the stronghold of Babylon, and sorrow,
extend their borders like a plant beyond the place of division (at the Tower of
Babel). -- But I will make Babylon fade away!
A friend also branches out, enraged with fury! ‘
Gen 11:3 And
they said to each other, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.”
And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
Gen 11:4 And
they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in
the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over all the
face of the earth.”
Gen 11:5
Then יהוה came down to see the city and the tower
which the sons of men had built.
Gen 11:6 And יהוה said, “Look, they are one people and they
all have one language, and this is what they begin to do! And now, they are not
going to be withheld from doing whatever they plan to do.
Gen 11:7 “Come,
let Us go there and confuse their language, so that they do not understand one
another’s speech.”
Gen 11:8 And יהוה scattered them from there, over the face
of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Gen 11:9 That is
why its name was called Baḇel1, because there יהוה confused the language of all the earth,
and from there יהוה scattered them
over the face of all the earth. Footnote: 1Baḇel is
derived from a verb which means “to confuse".
Gen 11:10 This is
the genealogy of Shĕm: Shĕm was a hundred years old and brought forth Arpaḵshaḏ, two
years after the flood.
Gen 11:11 And
after he brought forth Arpaḵshaḏ, Shĕm lived five hundred years, and brought forth sons
and daughters.
Gen 11:12 And Arpaḵshaḏ lived
thirty-five years, and brought forth Shelaḥ.
Gen 11:13 And
after he brought forth Shelaḥ, Arpaḵshaḏ lived four hundred and three years, and brought forth
sons and daughters.
Gen 11:14 And
Shelaḥ lived thirty years, and brought forth Ěḇer.
Gen 11:15 And
after he brought forth Ěḇer, Shelaḥ lived four hundred and three years, and brought forth
sons and daughters.
Gen 11:16 And Ěḇer
lived thirty-four years, and brought forth Peleḡ.
Gen 11:17 And
after he brought forth Peleḡ, Ěḇer lived four hundred and thirty years, and brought forth
sons and daughters.
Gen 11:18 And
Peleḡ lived thirty years, and brought forth Reʽu.
Gen 11:19 And
after he brought forth Reʽu, Peleḡ lived two hundred and nine years, and brought forth sons
and daughters.
Gen 11:20 And Reʽu
lived thirty-two years, and brought forth Seruḡ.
Gen 11:21 And
after he brought forth Seruḡ, Reʽu lived two hundred and seven years, and brought forth
sons and daughters.
Gen 11:22 And
Seruḡ lived thirty years, and brought forth Naḥor.
Gen 11:23 And
after he brought forth Naḥor, Seruḡ lived two hundred years, and brought forth sons and
daughters.
Gen 11:24 And Naḥor
lived twenty-nine years, and brought forth Teraḥ.
Gen 11:25 And
after he brought forth Teraḥ, Naḥor lived one hundred and nineteen years, and brought
forth sons and daughters.
Gen 11:26 And
Teraḥ lived seventy years, and brought forth Aḇram,
Naḥor, and Haran.
Gen 11:27 And this
is the genealogy of Teraḥ: Teraḥ brought forth Aḇram,
Naḥor, and Haran. And Haran brought forth Lot.
Gen 11:28 And
Haran died before his father Teraḥ in
the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Gen 11:29 And Aḇram
and Naḥor took wives: the name of Aḇram’s
wife was Sarai, and the name of Naḥor’s
wife, Milkah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milkah and the father of
Yiskah.
Gen 11:30 And
Sarai was barren, she had no child.
Gen 11:31 And
Teraḥ took his son Aḇram
and his grandson Lot, son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Aḇram’s
wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of
Kenaʽan. And they came to Ḥaran
and dwelt there.
Gen 11:32 And the
days of Teraḥ came to be two hundred and five years, and Teraḥ died
in Ḥaran.
Midrash on Fatherhood.
This Torah portion stirs up some deep issues about what
happens when fatherhood is undermined. It also reminds us to consider the
blessing we were meant to receive from our fathers.
The religion of men seems to be deeply influenced by the
demonic principality of the Queen of Heaven. This spirit seeks to undermine the
significant role of fatherhood, both physically and spiritually.
We need to remind ourselves that the only way we can come
to Yahshua is if the Father YHVH makes it possible.
Joh 6:44 “No one is able to come to Me unless the
Father who sent Me draws him. And I shall raise him up in the last day.
Joh 6:45 “It has been written in the prophets, ‘And
they shall all be taught by יהוה.’ Everyone,
then, who has heard from the Father, and learned, comes to Me.
Yahshua states again and again that the Father is greater
than him and he can do nothing unless the Father – YHVH – shows him and guides
him.
Joh 14:28 “You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going
away and I am coming to you.’ If you did love Me, you would have rejoiced that
I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
Joh 5:19 Therefore יהושע responded and
said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by
Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He
does, the Son also likewise does.
Joh 5:20 “For the
Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works
than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel.
Joh 5:21 “For as
the Father raises the dead and makes alive, even so the Son makes alive whom He
wishes.
Joh 5:22 “For the
Father judges no one, but has given all the judgment to the Son,
Joh 5:23 that all
should value the Son even as they value the Father. He who does not value the
Son does not value the Father who sent Him.
The focus of Yahshua’s life and ministry was on his
Heavenly Father. For many years as a believer my focus was on Yahshua and not
on YHVH. This seems to be the case of much of modern Christianity – Christians
write songs and worship whose primary focus is on Yahshua – something is not
right. These same Christians love to celebrate Christmas and Easter and ignore
or even show contempt for YHVH’s Torah. What is the spirit behind this kind of
thinking? Is it not the same spirit that has come from this mystery religion
that was born in Babylon?
Rev 18:1 And after this I saw another messenger coming
down from the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from
his esteem.
Rev 18:2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying,
“Baḇel the great is
fallen, is fallen,(Does Babylon fall
twice?) and has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt for every
unclean spirit, and a haunt for every unclean and hated bird,
Rev 18:3
because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
whoring, and the sovereigns of the earth have committed whoring with her, and
the merchants of the earth have become rich through the power of her riotous
living.”
Rev 18:4 And
I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest
you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.1
Footnote: 1Jer. 51:6 & 45.
Rev 18:5
“Because her sins have piled up to reach the heaven, and Elohim has
remembered her unrighteousnesses.
Christians often show contempt for our Hebrew fathers and
elevate the church fathers – Martin Luther Origen and many others – many of
these church fathers were haters of Jews and of YHVH’s Torah. Where does this
spirit come from?
For centuries Christians have mocked and scoffed at the
polygynous lifestyles of Avraham and Yakov. Many consider it a weakness of the
flesh and sin that Yakov had two wives and two concubines. Yet is from these
four woman that nation of Israel was born. It is after the 12 sons of Yakov
that the 12 gates of the New Yerushalayim are name. Yet Christians forbid
polygyny and state that only monogamy is allowed in the Scriptures. Perhaps
forced monogamy is a way to keep woman in charge and emasculate the men. Sadly
wives often use sex as a way of controlling their husbands. In polygynous
situations this becomes more difficult to do.
When we honour our fathers the way YHVH desires – we
obtain the blessing that comes from such honour. We see this in real life in
many Jewish families, where fathers bless their sons and daughters every
Shabbat. The Torah gives clear instruction of how fathers must guide their
families and impart to them the life and teaching of the Torah.
The consequences of an absent fatherhood blessing is
devastating upon mankind.
Mal 4:6 “And he
shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children
to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction1.Heb
“cherem”” Footnote: 1Zech. 14:11.
In the last days only a very small remnant will be saved
on earth by a pre wrath rapture. What chance is there for anyone who has made light
of YHVH and our fathers.
Already we see judgment coming upon the earth. In the Middle
East there are millions of widows and orphans. The murderous spirit of religion
is killing the fathers. We see this same spirit operating in the west where
most families are single parent families – and the church just continues to
open wide its doors and welcomes the foul spirit of Jezebel and the queen of
heaven into their front doors every Christmas and Easter and continue to honour
the day of the Sun God (Sunday) every first day of the week. There is no
greater crime against humanity, and all those who condone and encourage such
religion will be judged before the Supreme Court of the Universe – where the
Torah of YHVH and His judge – Yahshua shall preside.
The Torah warns us that if we do not take care of the
widows and orphans our own wives will become widows and children orphans.
Exo 22:22 “Do not afflict (heb S6031 – piel verb – to
afflict of humiliate) any widow or fatherless child.
Exo 22:23 “If you do afflict them at all – if they cry
out to Me at all, I shall certainly hear their cry,
Exo 22:24 and My wrath shall burn and I shall slay you
with the sword, your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless.
Perhaps we are just as
guilty if we allow a widow or orphan to be afflicted or humiliated and we do
nothing or very little about it.
Perhaps the reason why
many woman will desperately seek husbands in the last days is that there will
be very few men alive on earth.
Isa 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold
of one man, saying, “We shall eat our own food and wear our own clothes; only
let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.”
Isa 4:2 In that day the Branch of יהוה shall be
splendid and esteemed. And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely
for the escaped ones1 of Yisra’ĕl. Footnote: 1Joel 2:32,
Obad. v. 17.
Let us be like the
tribe of Ishachar who discerned the seasons and the times. There is a very dark
cloud of judgment hanging over this planet.
But !
Isa 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come! And
the esteem of יהוה has risen upon you.
Isa 60:2 “For
look, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen
upon you.
Isa 60:3 “And the
gentiles shall come to your light1, and sovereigns to the brightness
of your rising. Footnote: 1Isa. 60:19,20, Rev. 21:23,24.
