These rulers and powers were in the world of Isaiah yet also in the heavens; divine beings who were once part of יהוהs divine counsel - they had a High Priest or chief councilor, a pantheon of divine beings who administered the affairs of the cosmos.
This whole section is directed to the king of Babylon, who is clearly depicted as a human ruler. Other kings of the earth address him, he is called the man in v 16 and according to vv19-20 he possesses a physical body.
These rulers and powers in the heavens are divine beings who were once part of יהוהs divine counsel – they had a High Priest or chief councilor, a pantheon of divine beings who administered the affairs of the cosmos.
PS. 82:1 ‘Elohim’ has taken his place in the divine ‘el’council; in the midst of the ‘elohim’ he holds judgment:
The divine council operates on a cosmic level, governing the universe under the rulership of the One Creator Elohim – יהוה.
יהוה makes decisions and His council responds. On an earthly plane they govern Israel and the nations; and on an individual level, either guiding and protecting the righteous believer or accusing and hounding man.
Isaiah tells us that Satan plotted to overthrow Elohim himself:
(Isaiah 14:13-14 see also Ob. 1:4) And you saidst in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of El will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like Elyon.’
As a result of this rebellion there is an ongoing war in the heavens (Rev. 12:7; Dan. 10) with 1/3 of the angels actually following HaSatan in his rebellion (Rev. 12:3-4).
The tremors we’ve all experienced are just the birthing pains to prepare us for war against man and devils.
Isaiah] 14:12 “How you have fallen from the heavens, O Heylel, son of the morning! [ben shachar in the Hebrew] You have been cut down to the ground, you who laid low the gentiles! [13] “For you have said in your heart, ‘Let me go up to the heavens, let me raise my throne above the stars of El, and let me sit in the mount of meeting on the sides of the north.
Why on the north? What’s the northernmost piece of furniture in the heavenly temple that has a crown around it? It belongs to the lamb! The table of Shewbread! Satan was on a mission to take out the lamb!
[14] let me go up above the heights of the clouds, let me be like the Most High.’ [15] “But you are brought down to the grave, to the sides of the Pit. [16] “Those who see you stare at you, and ponder over you, saying, ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook reigns [kingdoms], now look at him [17] who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who would not open the house of his/her prisoners?’ [18] “All the sovereigns of the gentiles, all of them, were laid in esteem, everyone in his/her own house; [19] but you have been thrown from your grave like an abominable branch, (pierced branch the remez that’s present in the text) like the garment of those who are slain, thrust through with a sword, who go down to the stones of the pit, like a trampled corpse.
We know there was a fall from within the divine counsel in the heavens (Ezek 28/Rev 12:4 ). One third fell with Satan to influence the nations – they became the gods of the nations.
If Satan has a breastplate (Eek 28), it means Satan is a High Priest of some religion, and he must oversee a religious system; a religious council.
Rev 13:8 (Yahusha) the slain Lamb, from the foundation of the world.
The title of the King of Tyre, a metaphor for S.a.tan in Ez 28 is ‘Moshiach Cheruv Mesukah’.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of Elohim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
But the presence of the breastplate and throne qualifies the title Moshiach Malki Chohen Ha Gadol Cheruv Mesuka (the anointed high priest king, cherub of the sukkah) This is the bible’s title for Haylel – who later became an adversary-a satan.
1 Cor 2:7 But we speak the chocmah of יהוה in a Sode, even the mysterious chocmah, which יהוה ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Master of tifferith.
Have you ever had your mind darkened toward someone, you may of once thought of brightly?
Who is Satan? הילל Heylel: Hey, Yod, Lamed, Lamed.
He doesn’t oppose יהוה he only opposes youif you give him the territory and let him capture your thinking.
Don’t place Satan on equal status with Yahweh (heaven forbid), which is what he wanted in the first place!
Stinkin’ thinkin’ brings with it a loss, grief and the hounding thoughts of depression and hopelessness.
Your thinking mind; is your soul and your spirit.
One enlightens; One darkens…Satan wants your mind to be darkened because…
Heylel, son of the morning; Heylel in-fact means – “shining one” he wants to steal your mind from enlightened thinking and deflect it, into darkened thinking.
How does he do it? Magnification, imagery, light-or a darkening of it! We call it Dark light!
Satan knows that dark light was created by יהוה so יהוה could tabernacle with His creation…meaning the method to being close to יהוה was always subjecting our darkest self to His light; hence – dark light.
Job 18:6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
Gen 23:8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind/nephesh that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar.
Gen 26:35 Which were a grief of mind/Ruach unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Lev 24:12 And they put him in ward, that the mind/peh of יהוה might be shewed them.
Peh (Pey-Heh) it’s from the mouth, it affects your speech causing it to ascend!
Right here is how you’re admonished to live; because it affects your soul, spirit
The memory of the righteous is continually blessed! (I can’t remember half the bad stuff)
Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.
Phil 4:8 finally brethren whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy-think on these things.
So we can see now that conversely the darkness comes by ‘Peh’…causing it to descend; that’s why we should remain silent as Yahusha remained silent before our accusers because for us to continue on and accomplish the will of the Father we have to remain connected to the source ‘Pey’ to ascend.
Honor comes about by face to face – Gen. 32:20 – Jacob before Esua: And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
Dishonor and evil come from behind the back – 1 Ki 14:9. Prophecy against Jerboam: But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
In a day and age of light and sound, magnification and imagery we should make every effort not to engage in the latter but in the former for spiritual well being!
Isaiah 14 (b)
Is 14:12 is really Mohammad’s night vision – S.a.tan is an angel of light (2. Cor 11:14; so you can guess which angel/malach Mohammed got his night vision from!)
This is about Ramadan when Muslims fast at the appearing of the Crescent moon with Venus (the day star) which is the symbol of Satan.
Ben Shear – son of the morning, NOT morning star which doesn’t appear in the Hebrew, that word would be Kochav Shachar as in Rev 22:16.
Lucifer – Latin light bearer, a poor translation. #H1966 Helel – crescent moon in Aramaic or Arabic or star (Venus), interestingly the symbol of the Turkish flag – the Ottoman Turks, or Ottoman Empire. It’s also on the uniform of the Nation of Islam.
The nature and character of Satan:
First mention of adversary. It is found in 1st. Kings 11.14, 23, 25, simply meaning adversary.
The word Satan is used as traitor in 1st. Samuel 29.4.
The word Satan is used as an accuser in Tehillim [Psalms] 109.6.
As an opponent in 2nd. Samuel 19.22.
As an antagonist in Numbers 22.32.
“Adversary, antagonist, someone that stands in the way, an accuser.”
Weird: ‘Heylel’ , according to the Lexicon Lotharios Libras page 235. Halal – the root of the word Heylel #1984 – a beautiful woman, a wife is praised by her husband, a woman whose works praise her. The Wilson’s Old Testament Word Study, on page 506, Heylel – to be given in marriage, and be worthy to be praised.
Because a wife’s true role is to be a spiritual force to which the husband responds to. She can oppose him thereby strengthening their echad-bond – a sounding board, a reflection, one who bounces back even more light!
The textual implication of this is that Satan was a consort of יהוה before he fell.
A mistranslation would be the word ‘Lucifer’ or ‘Light Bearer’ because it’s a Latin word. Satan and Lucifer- actually hide the true person of Heylel.
‘Son of the morning’ – in Hebrew is ben shachar – means son, or in the plural bnai – children.
In the Analytical Hebrew Lexicon, page 95, by Benjamin Davidson ben shachar means a pupil or a student. Shachar means light in Hebrew, but it can also mean ‘by the law and testimony or sense and reason.”
Heylel, which can mean a beautiful woman, or a wife that needs to be praised, worthy to be praised, was a pupil or a student of the BoC Torah.
According to Tehillim 119, we are told that the Torah of יהוה is Light. It is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path.
Heylel is called a son of light, or a pupil of the light. The light is the Torah. The Torah is the only true light (Yeshayahu 8.20, Tehillim 119.105, 130. Proverbs [Mishle] 6.23.)
Heylel – son of the morning – son of the light – pupil of the light – was originally a student of the Torah! Her assignment was to teach the other malakim the BoC Torah! The BoC Torah is the blueprint of the Universe and for the Kingdom of Yahweh.
The wife’s Breastplate
Satan’s Breastplate
Satan is missing three stones from her/his breastplate, these are the precious stones which are needed in order to become Yahweh Shammah.
Strictly speaking, Yahweh Shammah (SHAM- mah) is a name of a city rather than a title for יהוה.
But it’s so closely associated with YHWH’s presence and glory that it’s also seen as a name or attribute of יהוה.
This title for יהוה is found in the very last verse of the book of Ezekiel. As we’ll see, the name Yahweh Shammah speaks to the glorious presence of יהוה and his desire to always be with the crowning glory of his creation – human beings.
The nine stones in Satan’s breastplate have all become corrupted from the tzadik righteous attributes that Kiddushim are to radiate.
In his “first estate” S.a.tan was the anointed cherub on the Mount of Elohim (Ezek. 28:14).
S.a.tan was originally perfect (Ezek. 28:12) and was given a throne over the earth.
We know this because Isaiah 14:13 tells us not that he established a throne for himself, but that he tried to elevate the throne he already had (Is. 14:13).
Ezekiel tells us that the earth’s resources were given to him (Ezek. 28:13). In the last days Satan will turn his throne over to the Anti-Messiah (Rev. 13:2; Jn. 12:31).
When HaSatan offered Messiah all of the Kingdoms of the earth at the temptation it’s because he actually possess the Kingdoms of the earth.
The final war between ‘the sons of Thunder/Boanerges’ and the sons of the earth, sons of light vs sons of darkness, kingdom of heaven vs kingdom of earth.
Now; Ezekiel informs us Satan was perfect in the day that he was created (Ezek. 28:12, 15) but that he became filled with pride.
On the breastplate of the Cohen haGadol there were twelve precious stones set in gold settings and mountings.
But the King Jimmy makes you think Satan’s bangin’ on some tymbrals and tambourines.
But in the Biblical Hebraic, these precious stones were set in settings and mountings.
Heylel’s Office:
[14] “You were the Moshiacn Kerub Mesuka anointed kerub that covered.
Satan/Heylel had an office! ‘They’ were to be the covering kerub, not only that; but they were anointed, or a mashiach!
‘They’ (I’m using gender neutral pro-nouns) had the anointing rubbed on them, and they were anointed to cover, to protect, to cover the throne of יהוה and the heavenly malachim.
•[14]…And I placed you, you were on the set-apart mountain of Elohim. You walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire. [15] “You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Moshiach; Mesukah; Kerub.
On the ark, there were two kerubim with wings that stretched out over the ark, or the mercy seat. Heylel was the anointed, the mashach kerub that covered; sakak, that was to enclose and enthrone and protect the throne of Yahweh with a covering, with their wings to protect Yahweh’s throne.
Yahweh had given Heylel a throne! Where was that throne? It was on the earth. Satan said, “I will ascend to the heavens and establish my throne above the throne of Yahweh.”
The throne of Satan was below the throne of Yahweh, and they were trying to ascend to an office in which they were not entitled to hold, which was that of Elohim.
Satan/Heylel rebelled, and became satan the adversary to Yahweh but before they became a satan they were Haylel – shining glory.
Satan/Heylel was the chosen one that radiated YHWH’s glory. Satan is now the one that opposes manNOT יהוה.
If we say that Satan is an opponent to Yahweh, then what we have established is a second god; which is what occultist believe and practice. They truly think that Satan can oppose יהוה and have a fighting chance!
You’ve given to much territory in your mind, life and belief system to Satan. He doesn’t oppose יהוה he only opposes you; if you give him the territory and let him capture your mind.
Satan/Heylel is the opponent to man. It’s Satan/Heylel who invented the office of god. A god is someone who wants to rule over someone by exalting themselves over them and ruling over them.
IYOB [Job] 1: [6] And the day came to be that the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them.
This/here takes place after Satan/Heylel’s fall from their throne. Notice that even after their rebellion against Yahweh Satan still has access to come before Yahweh’s throne.
• [7] And Yahweh said to Satan, “From where do you come?” And Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From diligently searching in the earth, and from walking up and down it.”
Satan here establishes the fact to us that after there fall and rebellion they had access to the throne of Yahweh. Not only that but they still had access to all the earth, their former domain and kingdom.
• [8] And Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Yyob, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and straight man, one who fears Elohim and turns aside from evil?” [9] And Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Is Yyob fearing Elohim for naught?
Satan/Heylel doesn’t act on their own, but is given permission from Yahweh.
