Some cool wordplays in John and Revelation
#1
Simon the Greek

In John 1:42 we read that Simon is the son of Yuna (yod-vav-nun-aleph). In Aramaic, this word yuna is translated as ?Jonas? but it also translates as 'the Greek'. Interesting that Yahshua later changes Simon?s name to ?kapa?, meaning 'rock'. The Catholic Church has claimed throughout history that Simon/Peter is the church's rock, and it also generally relies on the Greek text of the new testament. Obviously much of the work here at Peshitta.org is about Aramaic primacy before Greek. Also, note that this Aramaic word 'yuna' also means 'dove' - Simon comes up as the third apostle mentioned the Gospel of John at 1:41, and the dove is listed as the third living being released by Yahshua from the moneychangers in John 2:14. Discern: what was different about the release of the doves compared to the oxen and the sheep? The doves were never technically released from their cages? what was Simon?s cage?

Note also the wordplay in this same passage (John 2:15), where Yahshua makes a whip from Khbla to drive out the money-changers. This Aramaic word Khbla is commonly translated as ?rope?, yet it is also very similar to the word for ?debt? (Khubla). In Aramaic symbolism, Yahshua is driving out the debt, releasing these sacrificial living beings (us) from bondage.


?Measurement Crowns? versus ?Crown Merchants?

In Revelation 13:1, the dragon has horns (qrnt) with diadems/jewels (tagyn). By contrast, the woman in Revelation 12:1 has a crown (klyla) with stars (kukba). Consider that each ?crown diadem? (tga) of the dragon may be a play on the Aramaic word for ?merchant/businessman? (tgra). Remember that in Revelation 18:15 it is the merchants/businessmen who have been enriched by Babylon and who cry over her when she falls. By comparison, the crown of the Revelation 12 woman is a play on the word for measure (kyla). Revelation 12 is beautifully encoded with mathematical measurements.

Moreover, the same wordplay above (crown/merchant = tga) occurs later in the same chapter at Revelation 13:10, where the Aramaic word mubl is translated as ?leads? (leads into captivity). Mubl is also the same as the word for merchandise (mubla). So the wordplay meaning here is that ?he who leads/merchandises into captivity will go into captivity.? Note also that this Aramaic word tga is also used to describe the beauty of the messiah?s crown at Revelation 19:20.

Moreover, in Revelation 18:11, this Aramaic word for ?merchandise? (mublhun) can also be translated as ?burden?. And then looking at the list of these mublhun in Revelation 18:12-13, it is interesting to ponder how the last item could be a burden/merchandise to be bought/sold: the bodies and souls of men. As for the other items on this list, two of them are labeled as ?precious? (Aramaic = yqyra), which is similar to another Aramaic word for burden (yuqra). Here is the list from Revelation 18:12-13: gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple clothing, silk, scarlet, aromatic wood, vessels of ivory, precious vessels of wood, copper, iron, marble, cinnamon, perfume, ointment, incense, wine, oil, flour, sheep, horses, chariots). I wonder what is unique about the two (stone and wood) that are described as ?precious/burdensome?? Perhaps they are the main objects of idolatry by the whore?

Here?s another related wordplay... Revelation 17:4 describing the whore?s appearance has a phrase that is commonly translated ?gold cup?, but an alternate translation of this Aramaic phrase, ksa ddhba, is ?secret of gold?. This is something to ponder when researching the history and theories of the Catholic Church secretly hoarding gold.


Idolatry of the Cross

In Revelation 13:14 the Aramaic word translated as ?image/idol? is Tslma (tzaddi-lamed-mem-aleph), which may be a wordplay on the Aramaic word for cross/crucify, Tslyba (tzaddi-lamed-yod-bet-aleph).

Amazingly, people willingly tattoo themselves today with images of the cross, which was of course the Roman instrument used to torture and kill enemies of the State, including the messiah Yahshua. My hope is that Christians stand back and objectively consider that historical fact, and the consequences of idolatry, before bowing down before crucifixes showcasing the murder of our messiah, tattooing themselves with crosses, etc.

Regarding Matthew 10:38-39 and 16:24-25, ask whether in these passages if Yahshua is instructing his followers to willingly go out and purchase cross tattoos and other torture memorabilia, or rather to follow his example of having such immense faith in the Father's plan of salvation that you are mentally and emotionally prepared to be murdered (on a cross if that's what your persecutors choose) before you would ever denounce your faith?

Recommended research: The Cross as a Type of Mark of the Beast, by Levi Ben David.

Notably and alternatively, the word Tslma also means stone or shapeless, which reminds of the black stone altar in the UN. Rev 13:12, unsgdun ("and they will worship").

John 12 paralleling Revelation 12
John 12:2 uses the word ShmSha (shin-mem-shin-aleph) to describe Lazar?s sister Martha ?serving?, which could be a wordplay on Revelation 12:1 where the woman is clothed with the sun (ShmSha). In this wordplay, when Lazar?s other sister, Miriam, anoints Yahshua?s feet with her hair (sEarh), it is like a wordplay of the Aramaic word moon (shra) under the woman?s feet in Revelation 12. Continuing this analogy one step further, Judas who is standing before Yahshua in John 12:5 (asking why the oil was not sold for money) is like the dragon in Revelation 12:5 standing before the woman about to give birth to her son.

Interesting fact: The gospel of John is encoded with mathematical and geographical codes. I?m preparing an essay on this topic, and in the meantime click here for a phi (1.618) example from John 11.

Dragon and Smoke Coming From the Same Place

In Revelation 19:3, the Aramaic word for ?smoke? is tnnh, which may be a play on the word for dragon ? tnyna. Indeed, it is said about both of these words, tnnh and tnyna, that they are associated with a world/age (Ealm) and worlds/ages (Ealmyn) that are not this world/age (Ealma). See, Rev 19:3 and 20:10.

Recommended reading: Learn How to Read the word Ealm without (mis)translating it in English.

Also note that in Rev 12:4, the dragon?s ?tail? (dunb = dalet, vav, nun, bet), can also be translated as ?last place?. Personally, this makes me think of the end-of-the-age.


The Court Case of Revelation 10

In Revelation 10:3, the sealed-up ?thunders? are the Aramaic word rEamyn (resh-ayin-mem-yod-nun), which comes from the same root word for ?complaint?, ruEama (resh-vav-ayin-mem-aleph).

Perhaps the mystery of the seven thunders (that the angels are sealing until the appointed time) is a formal court complaint regarding the whore and the beast?!

In Revelation 10:6, we find the word ?tub? (tav-vav-bet), which can be translated either ?repent? or ?again?. Most English bibles translate the phrase ?again? in the context, ?there should not be time again?. But an alternative translation of this passage is ?repentance time not will be?. Consider the latter alternative - if a formal court case has indeed been concluded here after the sixth trumpet, then perhaps the time for repentance has indeed passed.

Now consider the Aramaic text of Revelation 18:10 with regard to the timing of Babylon?s fall. In Rev 18:10, the Aramaic phrase Khda ShEaa is commonly translated as ?one hour? but another translation of the second word (shin-ayin-aleph) is ?declaration/narrative?, so the translation would be that Babylon falls in ?one declaration/narrative?. Thus, the importance of the seventh trumpet angel with his mystery declaration for mystery Babylon?

Because the 5th through 7th trumpets are described as three woes, it is noteworthy that in Revelation 18:10 (describing the fall of Babylon) we also read, ?Woe, woe, woe?, which is then followed by judgment. The seven vials are called ?judgment? and they come after the seven trumpets, so that works too.

Therefore, if Babylon falls with 7th trumpet (I consider this likely), then the description in Revelation 18 makes sense that there would be demons prowling around (demons are prowling with the fifth and sixth trumpets) and she is burned with fire and smoke (again, these are plagues of the fifth and sixth trumpets). Note also the word ?tub? is used in both Revelation 18:11 and Revelation 10:6. As discussed above, an alternate translation of ?tub? is repentance, so once the whore (theory = the apostate Catholic Church) is destroyed there might really be no more repentance time for those still clinging to earth ? a fitting judgment for the ?universal? church that claimed only in her would anyone (even newborns) find salvation. And it works theologically, because after a defendant (here, the whore and her co-defendants) have been tried and judgment has been cast down upon them, it is too late for them to repent.

Much of the Book of Revelation appears to be about a very dramatic court case, complete with witnesses, accusers, defendants, victims, judgment. This court case was foreshadowed by Zechariah?s vision in Zechariah 3, where Yahshua is being accused by Satan in heaven before YHVH, but YHVH rules in favor of Yahshua and gives him the right to judge the house (Israel) and keep the courts.

This is another topic on which I am preparing an essay, namely that the Book of Revelation is describing a court case in more ways than we understand. As just one small example, notice how the first thing that Yahshua the ?faithful witness? (Rev 1:5) states to each assembly is that he has personal knowledge (ydEa) of their actions. There?s jurisdictional questions, angels who speak for people (like attorneys), testimony, cross-examination, dramatic court scenes (e.g., John weeps when he thinks no one can open the seals and therefore do justice), so much more? I can only imagine how much the angels in heaven (who see so much more than we do) have been waiting patiently for YHVH?s judgment. A triumph of patience even!


The Body as a Temple
In John 4, Yahshua speaks to the woman by the well. Note that the Aramaic word for ?water pot? (dula) used in John 4:11 is also used in John 4:20, but translated as ?of proper?. The wordplay here is that the woman doesn?t understand how Yahshua could receive water without a water pot (dula). Because Yahshua is suggesting that his body is the dula, it is interesting that this same phrase (dula) is used in John 4:20 in reference to the ?proper? place of honor.

When pondering this passage about the woman by the water well, especially how Yahshua tells her that life is from the Judeans, consider that Israel and Judea can be analogized to air and water respectively, pressing against each other, in a pressurized water tank above a well. In America we call these ?bladder tanks?. I have one over my well and it works very efficiently, so long as I keep the air and water in the proper (dula) balance. In John 5:20, Yahshua explains that the father loves (rhkm) the son -- this Aramaic word rhkm is the same root word for ?bladder/bowels?, referring to the container aspect of the body. Another part of this wordplay is in the context of John 5, which begins with the paralytic waiting for movement of the still waters at the pool of Bethesda.

Click here for a mathematical code evidencing the beauty of the Peshitta, where it appears Yahshua heals a paralytic using fundamental constants of physics.


Heavenly Food

In John 4:32, Yahshua advises the disciples that he already has food to eat, of which they do not know. The Aramaic word for ?food? used in this passage is ?makulta? (mem-aleph-kaph-vav-lamed-tav-aleph), which is a play on the word for kingdom (mlkuta). So the wordplay is that Yahshua receives his food from the kingdom of heaven, which the apostles do not yet know. Indeed, this fits the message that Yahshua explains in the same passage at John 4:34, ?My food is to do the will of him who sent me and complete his work.?

Follow-up research: if you are like me and still eating food on earth, let's do ourselves a favor and learn about the benefits of organic + humane (e.g. Omnivore?s Dilemma; Food, Inc).


Experiencing Life through Symbols

Another great wordplay in the Aramaic bible is the word for serpent (kuya) versus life (kya). This wordplay actually combines with another wordplay -- the word ?woe? (uy), because the word serpent is basically another way to say ?life of woe?.

The Aramaic word for ?creature? or ?living being? is kiuta (khet ? yod ? vav ? tav ? aleph). By dividing this word into its component parts -- ?ki? and ?u? and ?ta? -- it can be translated literally as ?life and sign?, which is especially interesting as the four creatures of the Book of Revelation (Rev 4:7) who correspond to the first four seals are like ?living signs?:
  • ? Lion = water. The phrase in Revelation 4:7 to describe the lion is dmya, meaning ?of water?. Water looks white to us, like the first horse (white horse) in Revelation 6:2 that is released by the lion (first living creature).
  • ? Calf = fire. The phrase in Revelation 4:7 that describes the calf is dmuta, meaning ?of death?. Fire is red to us, like the second horse (red horse) in Revelation 6:4 that is released by the calf (second living creature). Additional reading: Eleazar?s calf is also red in Numbers 19.
  • ? Man = earth. The phrase in Revelation 4:7 that describes man is ap ayk, meaning ?face like?. We live on the face of the earth.
  • ? Eagle = air. The phrase in Revelation 4:7 that describes the eagle is dmuta, meaning ?of death?. Eagles fly in the air.


The Sharp Edge

In Rev 2:12, it is said that the messiah has the sharp sword of two ?edges? (pumyh). This Aramaic word ?pumyh? can also be translated as ?his mouth(s)?, which is important as we read in Revelation 19:14 that powers of heaven follow the messiah on white horses and from ?their mouths? (pumhun) proceed a sharp sword. Indeed, the word from the messiah?s mouth is like a sword. See also, Rev 1:16 and Isaiah 49:2.

Point of interest: From the Peshitta text, one can find a two-edge sword and shepherd?s staff mapped out the face of the earth by linking the 7 assemblies listed in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3.

Concluding thought

A different possible interpretation of a word can give an entirely new meaning to a prophecy. I can only imagine what Satan and company have found in the text to support their delusions. Whose word/interpretation will triumph? Whose reality/word is strongest? Personally, I place my hopes with the messiah Yahshua. And the literal words preserved in the ancient Peshitta are a wonderful blessing to encourage that hope.

Some Additional Wordplays in Revelation

144,000 Virgins as Female Sheep

In Revelation 14:4, the prophecy describes 144,000 virgins. The Aramaic text implies these 144,000 are female because they have not ?rubbed? ( attuShu) with ?man? (nSha). Well, here is an Aramaic wordplay that further confirms these 144,000 virgins are female ? the text says these virgins ?will follow? (nqpuhy) the lamb everywhere he goes. This phrase nqphuy is likely a word play of nqya, meaning a female sheep called a ewe.

[Image: IMG_2911.jpg]

Fury of the Mother-in-Law

Revelation 14:8, ?Babel the great has fallen, has fallen, she who gave all the nations to drink of the fury (KhmTha) of her fornication.? And Revelation 17:5, ?And on her forehead it was written, ?Mystery, Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of pollutions of the earth.?

It?s interesting that the Aramaic word translated as ?fury? (KhmTha) in the Book of Revelation can also be translated ?mother-in-law?. Perhaps there is a bit of comedy here as the recipient of the fury is the mother of harlots, thus analyzable as a classic feud: mother versus mother-in-law.

Here?s a jagged little pill from (second?) pope Joseph Ratzinger, ?It must be always clear that the one, holy, catholic and apostolic universal church is not the sister, but the mother of all the churches.?

Wordplay of Mark and Name

Revelation 14:11, ?And they will not have relief day or night those who were worshipping the creature and his image and who took the mark of his name.?

Note the wordplay between ?mark? (ruShma) and ?name? (Shma).

I wonder whether it is a coincidence that in Aramaic gematria (aleph = 1, bet =2? tav =22), the ending phrase in Revelation 14:11 ?of his name? (dShmh) is equal to 53, the same number for the messiah?s name, yShuEa. Perhaps it is a clue that the mark of the creature is an illegitimate copycat of Yahshua?s name?

Here?s another potential clue: in Aramaic, ?mark? (ruShma) totals 61. Another name that totals 61 is Arthur (aleph-resh-tet-hey-vav-resh), as in King Arthur ? the legendary one expected by the self-proclaimed ?lost tribes of Israel? as their messiah, as they claim lineage to Yahshua. So ?mark? and ?Arthur? total 61, and another word totaling 61 in Aramaic is ?dragon? (tav-nun-yod-nun-aleph).

Many people, including myself, consider Prince William of Wales to be the leading candidate for the ?little horn? described in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation, and that after William is crowned his name will eventually and somehow change to Arthur. I realize this may sound fantastic at first (perhaps that?s part of the unfolding saga); all I can do is point people with open minds to the Titanic boatload of evidence in support of this greater theory ? here is the tip of the iceberg that William may be destined to crash into, a quote from the late princess Diana ?I believe Wills can rebuild Camelot and I will be his Merlin. We will return to the chivalry, pageantry and glory of King Arthur's court. William will re-make the Monarchy by showing love, leadership and compassion." Another nice trail marker is William's coat of arms, an offspring of Prince Charles' coat of arms. The latter has a unicorn ("little horn") chained to a red dragon and a quote below that image, "I serve" (ich dien). If the self-proclaimed royals' coronation and investiture ceremonies are any guide, it bears mentioning that standing up from her dragon-adored throne, Queen Elizabeth gave Charles regalia with a dragon featured on the rod, ring and sword. Charles then says, ""I, Charles, Prince of Wales, do become your liege man of life and limb and of earthly worship and faith and truth I will bear unto you to live and die against all manner of folks." Read all about it in the popular book by Tim Cohen at pages 198-204 (side note for researchers: an often misquoted section of this book claims the queen said, 'This dragon gives you your power, your throne, and your authority'. But Cohen didn't write that, and I never found such a quote after a long search of books and videos). Anyway, there's a ton of evidence about William as the possible 'little horn' of Revelation and Daniel, so check it out if you're inclined: my thesis on the Book of Revelation, section XVII.A.3, or Grail Code by Clinton Ortiz.

I should probably also mention that, like ?dragon?, my last name ?Glaser? also totals 61, so that?s a bit unsettling for me as a numbers researcher, but there are also several nice Aramaic words that total sixty one, such as ?law? (puqdna) from Matthew 5:19, and ?lampstands? (mnrn) from Revelation 11:4. I'll venture that when words occupy the same number, it can evidence not only interesting forms of connection (dichotomies, alliances, logical relevance) but also choice among the options for people interacting with those words/numbers.

The Departed Flock

Revelation 14:13, ?Write, Blessed are the dead who depart in our lord from now on. Yes, says the spirit, because they will rest from their labors.?
Note the wordplay here between the word ?depart? (Eand) and the word ?flock? (Eana). This would not seem to be a wordplay because it is only two letters, but the text says the flock/departed are ?in their lord? (bmrn), so there is a logical corollary here that can at least provide a helpful theological reminder ? the blessed who depart in the lord are part of his flock.

Revelation 14 and the Vineyard in Matthew

Revelation 14:18, ?And another angel came out from the altar, who had authority over fire and cried out with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle. Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vineyard of the earth, because of the ripeness of her grapes.?

The Aramaic word for ?clusters? (sgula) is probably a play on the word for worshipper (sguda), because this Chapter 14 is about the dichotomy of worshipping the false authority Satan or alternatively our Creator.

Lamb speaks the Word
Aramaic speakers can appreciate the very compelling nature of the lamb metaphor, as one of the most wonderful wordplays in the gospel and Book of Revelation arises from the shared definition of the words ?speak? and ?lamb?. See for example in Revelation 6:1 where the word ?spoke? (amra) is the same for the word lamb (amra). See also Rev 15:3 where the words appear in sequence (amra u amryn).


Burden/Cargo/Debt of the Beast
In Revelation 17:7 (the beast that carries her) we see ?carries? (tEayna) is another word for cargo, suggesting that the beast does cargo for the whore, or perhaps the beast is cargo to the whore. Or perhaps the whore is the cargo?
Incidentally, note the phrase ?tax collectors and harlots? (mksa u znyTha) in Matthew 21:31 can also be translated ?secret and whore?. Perhaps this is a clue that one of the secrets of the whore is that she is a tax collector or services them.


Who is Worthy?
Read Revelation 5:9 (?You are worthy to take the book and to loosen its seals, because you were sacrificed and you bought us with your blood for Alha from all the tribes and peoples and inhabitants?):
  • - The words ?sacrificed? (nks) and ?purchased? (zbn) are interesting when used together because ?nksa? means possession.
  • - The phrase ?take the book? is noteworthy because ?take? (msb) may be a wordplay here on gospel (msbrnuTha). Note also rnuTha is ?think and sign?.
  • - The word ?worthy? (Shuyt) comes from root ShuEa, meaning ?worthy?, as in Yahshua (Y?ShuEa). See also for example, Revelation 5:2-5.


Sixes
Throughout the Book of Revelation, we see the sixth letter of the aleph bet, ?vav? beginning a sentence. It is overwhelming how many times we see ?vav?, as the judgments of Revelation are put into the context of sixes. Obviously the infamous 666 number of the beast comes to mind. But there are many other examples. Note for example Revelation 17:17, where we see the word ?fulfilled? (dnShThmlyn) can also be translated ?judgment six filled?.


Walk like a King
In Revelation 2:1, notice the wordplay between walks? (mhlk) and king (mlk).


Spacetime
The phrase ?angel of the church? (mlaka dbEadTha), is used as the preface of each of the seven instructions to the seven churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

This phrase can also be interpreted as ?filled up place of time sign?, which would be a reference to spacetime:
mla = fill up
ka = here/space
db = of/in
Ead= until/while/time
Tha = sign/come/fig


Ark of the Covenant Paradox
According to the gospel, the temple is the body of the son of man. See e.g., John 2:21; <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.templesecrets.info/">http://www.templesecrets.info/</a><!-- m -->
Now the ark (qybuTha) of the covenant is inside the temple. So the ark/boat is inside the man, and yet man is supposed to be inside the boat. The word for ark (qbuTha) helps resolve the paradox because qba means measure. So, only by measuring ratio is this paradox resolved. A boat can be inside a man, and man inside a boat, by repeating a fractal ratio.

[Image: burning_ship_fractal_1.jpg]

The concept of ships on the water carrying cargo is pervasive in the gospel. For example, the word for ships (alp) also means thousand (think recursive digits). Waters parallel peoples. And cargo is another word for burden, as in the burden of sin. The parallels are amazing to explore as we steer/will our proverbial and actual vessels through this world of proverbial and actual waves!


Swordplay
Note the wordplay in Revelation 2:16 between qrb (wage war) and Khrb (sword).


Pergama
The third assembly Pergama is admonished for eating sacrifices of idols, and note all the Aramaic wordplays and dichotomies focusing on ?repentance of the mouth?:
  • - Eat (makl) sacrifices (Rev. 2:14) and receive the sword of the mouth (pumy) (Rev. 2:16). Or triumph and receive bread (mnna) at Rev 2:17
  • - Repent (Thub) at Rev 2:16, or cease (kShla) at Rev 2:14. Indeed, see the Aramaic word doctrine (mlpnuTha) at Revelation 2:14 ? this word can be translated alternatively as ?word/fill teach and sign/repent?, especially as we see aTha (sign/repent) at Rev 2:16 and mouth at Rev 2:16.
  • - Notice the dichotomy between the idol (pThkra) used by the unrepentant in Rev 2:14, versus the pebble (KhuShbna) at Rev 2:17 for he who overcomes. Interesting that pebble (KhuShbna) also means accounting, which is a wordplay if you see the manna bread (mnna) is a play on the word for number (mnya).


Lamb Shepherd
In Revelation 7:17, we read that the lamb (amra) actually shepherds (rEaa) the souls before the throne. Notice these interesting wordplays in the passage: (1) the lamb leads them to fountains (EaynTha) and wipes the tears from their eyes (Eaynyhun), and (2) the fountains are of waters (dmya) and the lamb wipes away the tears (dmEaa).


Flowers on the wrong grave
In Revelation 11:10 notice the word gifts (muhbTha) is like a combination of two words: flowers (hbTha) and death (muTh). This is an interesting wordplay because in this passage the two witnesses have just been killed and yet the people of Israel send gifts/flowers to one another (rather than put flowers on the graves of the witnesses to honor them). Indeed, the bodies of YHVH?s witnesses are not even respectfully entombed, but rather are displayed on the streets/marketplace.


Like death
I think it?s an interesting wordplay that the Aramaic word ?like? (dmuTha) can also be translated ?of death?. The Yahshua emphasized repeatedly that he lived directly in the Father, spoke directly on behalf of the Father, and so forth. Unless I am mistaken, Yahshua never said he was just ?like? (dmuTha) the Father, though I presume he is like the Father.

Perhaps in this wordplay there is a great and largely unanswerable question ? highlighting a fundamental choice of faith - do we strive to be one with the Father, or just similar to the Father. In the Roman imperial cult tradition (i.e., Caesar is a god), the whole idea is to be like the gods. Even today, ?new age history? often reads like disgruntled religious students who look in the mirrors of history to gaze upon idols, reflections of reflections, commentaries of commentaries, and stories of stories, and in doing so they (we?) eventually believe in the ?likeness? of gods more than the reality of YHVH.

The original and literal bible presents Yahshua?s Father as an exact and precise mathematician and writer of reality. He brings confusion on whomever he wills, and He nurtures in truth whomever he desires.

Who am I to say what is truth? Pilate said, what is truth? I don?t even know what I don?t know; so obviously I don?t claim to have a lien on truth (see e.g., <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.logicalhierarchy.com/Logical_Hierarchy/Home/Entries/2009/2/2_Logic%2C_Faith%2C_and_Skepticism.html">http://www.logicalhierarchy.com/Logical ... icism.html</a><!-- m -->). I just see a lot of what appears to be copycatism in books and documentaries today, especially as Roman and Egyptian historians rely on anecdotes in textual history to stake a claim on religious reality. I wonder who has been willingly (check) mated by the dragon described in the bible, the father of lies. In Aramaic, dragon (tnyna) means second, as in second-place - not the original. I suppose then it is natural to expect the dragon to copy.

I often see strawman arguments (where two false choices are presented): False option 1: the real bloodline lineage of Jesus can be traced to the pharaoh/caesar/british-throne; and False option 2: Jesus never really existed.

?And the dragon was furious about the woman and he went to wage war with the rest of her seed, those who keep the commandments of Alha and have the testimony of Yahshua.? Revelation 12:17.


YHVH?s fortune
In biblical Hebrew ?gd? is the Babylonian god of fortune. By contrast, in biblical Hebrew yShuEa means Yah?s fortune.

The gospel helps explain that Yahshua?s body is the temple (see John 2:21), and of course the priests of the day put more value on Herod?s temple than on Yahshua. Now consider Revelation 11:1 (measure the temple with a reed), where reed (qnya) is a play on wealth (qnyna).

Then at the end of Revelation 11 we see another temple measurement wordplay. In Rev 11:19 the word ark (qybuTha) is measure (qba) and sign (uTha), because of temple reference here and in Rev 11:1.


Fear or Corruption
A straightforward wordplay can be found in Rev 11:18, where a reward is given to those servants who fear/reverence (dKhly) the name of mrya Alha, whereas punishment is given to those who corrupt (dKhblu) the earth.


Speaking to 7 Spirits
In Revelation 1:16, notice how ?spear ?(rumKha) from the mouth could be a wordplay on ?spirit? (ruKha), especially as Yahshua holds and speaks to the seven spirits of Alha (see e.g., Rev 4:5 and 5:6).


Love Song
Revelation 14:2, ?The sound that I heard was like a harpist who strikes his harps. And they were praising as a new praise song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. And no one was able to learn the praise song, except the one hundred and forty four thousand purchased from the earth.?

In this passage, it?s interesting that the word ?strike? (nqSh) can also be translated ?kiss?. So the angels have kissing harps? Perhaps this song for the lamb being sung by the 144,000 is a love song.

As I already explained in my first post above, the literal text suggests the 144,000 are females, not males. So that?s exciting that the text also suggests they are singing a love song to Yahshua.

I know I don?t know the song; I shouldn't even guess because my best guess would be, ?Israel and Yahshua sitting in a tree?? <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

Also note the word play in Revelation 14:3 between ?learn it? (alph) and ?thousand? ( alpyn).


666 Mark of the Beast or 7-7-7 Seals
Notice the wordplay in Revelation 5:1, where right hand of the One on the throne inscribes (rShym) the seven seals. This word for inscribe (rShym) is similar to the mark (ruShma) of the beast in Revelation 13:16, inscribed into the right hand. Another nice signpost of Aramaic primacy is the wordplay of ?seven? (ShbEaa) and ?seals? (tbEaa). I think there is also a '6 or 7' dichotomy wordplay there as men are bEaa ("seeking") the fulfillment of seven days in Alha, but are ensnared by the tEaa ("wandering/error") of the sign of man, six.
