Chapter 94

The Star Who Fell from Heaven

If Bar Kochba was the Son of the Star, then who is the star he was son of?

Isa 14 (WEB)
12) How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
13) You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!
14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”

‘Morning star’ is how the Hebrew word ‘heylel’ is translated in the World English Bible. Most other translations have a similar rendering. Heylel is used only that one time, in Isaiah 14. The King James translation has ‘Lucifer,’ which is Latin for ‘light bringer.’ That’s how Jerome translated ‘Heylel’ in his Latin Vulgate version of the Bible in 405, still in use today. Mickelson’s Enhanced Strong’s Dictionaries defines ‘heylel’ as “something or someone of radiant splendor.”

The morning star Heylel tried to exalt her throne to be like the Most High. That can only mean Satan.

In English, Satan is usually called “he,” but angels or God’s messengers are not he or she and it doesn’t sound quite right to call Satan “it.” In today’s world, Satan incites women to rebel against men, and even Bible translators are focused on “gender equality.” So instead of calling Satan “he,” I will call it “she.” And to further conform with feminazi protocol, I will use a hyphenated name –

Heylel-Satan.

Ezekiel wrote of the covering cherub on the holy mountain of God.

Ezek 28
12) Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13) You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
14) You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15) You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16) By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, [Lexham and New English translations say “expelled” instead of destroyed], covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17) Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.

Yeshua saw that morning star plunge to earth – like a meteor.

Luke 10
18) He [Yeshua] said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.

When the covering cherub was cast down to the earth, Heylel was then called Satan. Instead of light bringer, this covering cherub was now –

Enemy.

So after her rebellion in heaven, Heylel became Satan, and the light-bringer became the dark-bringer. Yeshua told Paul that Paul was going to be sent to people —

Acts 26
18) to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Paul was to turn people from the power of Satan, which is darkness. But Satan still presented herself as the light-bringer.

Observing how Satan’s followers are in this world, we may conclude that Satan thinks her way is the right way, and that her darkness really is the light.

Left wing anti-Christ Americans have empty, self-focused lives. They climb mountains and sky dive, practice yoga and vainly build up their bodies, take drugs and engorge in unbridled sex, perpetually trying to find some meaning somewhere in their lives. Yet these spiritual nomads, wandering to and fro and never coming to a knowledge of the truth, constantly tell conservative Christians how they must change their lives. Liberals believe in butchering babies and selling body parts, in using drugs for entertainment, in spreading sexual diseases and making the government pay for their treatment, in punishing police and rewarding criminals –

Yet they do not at all see themselves as depraved, demented or deceived. They see themselves as paragons of perfection, the highest peak of millions of years of evolutionary progress –

And they’re always ready to set Christians straight.

That’s how Satan’s people are. So surely Satan is the same way, thinking her way is the right way, that she is the one with the truth and that Yahweh God Almighty is judgmental, self-righteous, condemning, and a radical right-winger.

Perhaps that’s why Satan is so incredibly deceptive. She knows she’s right.

How deceptive is Satan?

Rev 12
3) Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
4) His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
5) She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

At some point, a third of the angels in heaven follows Satan against Yahweh. Or as they might see it, they follow Heylel the light-bringer against the darkness of Yahweh.

Consider that for a moment. Spirit beings who know Yahweh is their Creator, who have seen His power and limitless magnificence, instead choose to follow the rebel Heylel-Satan.

That requires some heavy duty deception!

As with Eve.

Gen 3
1) Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?’”
2) The woman said to the serpent, “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3) but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
4) The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die,
5) for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The International Standard Version translation of that familiar passage includes an interesting note.

Gen 3:1 ISV
1) Now the Shining One was more clever than any animal of the field that the Lord God had made. It asked the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You are not to eat from any tree of the garden’?”
ISV note: The Heb. word Ha-Nachash means the Shining One; or the Diviner; i.e. one who falsely claims to reveal God’s word; or the Serpent.

We also cite the Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament
Hath God indeed said, Ye shall not eat of all the trees of the garden?” כִּי אַף is an interrogative expressing surprise.

Satan’s query implies disbelief. Heylel-Satan was asking Eve, “Didn’t God lie to you?”

Satan ignored God’s personal name. She just used the common noun ‘elohim.’

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges adds –
Observe that in the serpent’s mouth the general name, “God” (Elohim), is used, and not the sacred name “Jehovah” (Lord), and that the woman replying takes up the serpent’s words.

The method which the serpent adopts is insidious. He knows the prohibition; he feigns ignorance, and asks to be instructed. The question suggests a doubt of Divine goodness. It takes the tone of indignant surprise at the injustice and harshness of a prohibition which had forbidden the man and the woman to eat of any tree of the garden. Such a suggestion, however easily refuted, might instill into the mind of the unsuspicious woman a grain of doubt, whether even any limitation was consonant with perfect justice and kindness.

The Keil & Delitzsch Commentary also discusses Heylel’s technique with Eve.
The serpent calls God by the name of Elohim alone, and the woman does the same. In this more general and indefinite name the personality of the living God is obscured. To attain his end, the tempter felt it necessary to change the living personal God into a merely general numen divinium…

Or just another one of them thar gods.

Elohim is a generic term, not exclusively used for Yahweh. Elohim is also used for “the gods of Egypt”, for idols, as in 1 Kings 11:33 for Chemosh, “the god of Moab”, and for demons, seraphim, the spirits of the dead brought up at Saul’s urging, and to human kings and prophets.

Elohim is not the specific name of the Creator, and not even equal to the English word God, since elohim is used for men and the English word isn’t. On the other hand, the personal Yahweh is in the first five of the Ten Commandments, one whole stone tablet of the two. The third Commandment specifically commands not to ignore the name Yahweh.

Satan – not surprisingly – ignored it. No surprise then that almost all of Satan’s world also follows that practice.

So Satan avoided the personal name of the Creator, instead used the common noun elohim, and then told Eve she could be elohim!

Gen 3:5 (Lexham English Bible)
5) For God [elohim] knows that on the day you both eat from it, then your eyes will be opened and you both shall be like gods [elohim], knowing good and evil.”

Hey – That’s exactly what Satan wanted!

So instead of turning away when Satan called Yahweh a liar, Eve opened a discussion with Heylel about whether or not Yahweh is a liar. Eve did not gain by that discussion. She lost Eden and her physical life. Fraternizing with Satan is fatal.

That’s one of the greatest lessons in the Bible, in the first few pages. You do not gain by fellowshipping with Yahweh’s enemies, the spiritual Canaanites.

Calling God a liar is an extreme evil. All government schools do that today. Eve should have rebuked Satan and people today should rebuke government schools.

Zech 3 WEB
1) He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
2) Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

That was Yahweh on earth, the messenger of Yahweh who became the Messiah, and Yahweh the Father in heaven. So Yahweh on earth said Yahweh in heaven rebuke you, Satan.

So Eve should have said something like, “You tricky snake!”

But Eve didn’t say that. She did not rebuke Satan for calling God a liar.

Again we consider this situation. Eve and Adam were personally acquainted with their Creator. Not only did they know Him – He was their Father, the One who birthed them. He had given them the incredible, astounding, humanly unrepeatable miracle of life. Yet the shiny one easily tricked them into thinking that their Father was a liar, that their Father had even lied to them, and that their Father did not love them.

Heylel-Satan had brought darkness to Eve and Adam.

Then, after Eve and Adam were kicked out of Eden, Satan went after their family.

Gen 6
[Before the Flood –]
11) The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12) God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

All flesh!

Again that is astonishing. Noah’s father Lamech overlapped Adam by a half century, and Lamech died only two years before the Flood. So some people who died in the Flood probably knew Adam! They could have personally asked him:

“Adam, what was it like when you first opened your eyes?”

“Adam, what did you think when you first saw Eve?”

“Adam, how did that shiny serpent sucker you in?”

So basically all the people who died in the Flood could have known, or known of someone who knew Adam. In spite of that first or second hand testimony about creation, everyone on earth at that time was deceived by Heylel-Satan, except for one family.

Absolutely astounding!

The same thing happened after the Flood. The tower of Babel, as commonly calculated, was only about a century after the Flood. With life spans at that time still long, everyone knew about the great Flood. Yet the general population decided to build a tower, specifically to disobey Yahweh’s command to spread out over the earth.

And by Abram’s time?

Well, righteous Abram lived in a city, Ur that was devoted to a moon goddess.

Even Abram’s family apparently were moonstruck.

Josh 24
2) Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.

Wow! The sneaky snake had snuck in again.

And again, and again, and again.

Rev 12
9) The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

How deceitful is she, Satan?

Even after being bound for a thousand years, which is a millennium of peace and prosperity, when Heylel-Satan is released for a time, the same thing happens –

Again!

Rev 20
7) And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison,
8) and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Again.

Heylel-Satan’s power to deceive may only be exceeded by Yahweh’s power to enlighten.

So who does Heylel-Satan try to deceive?

Just the whole world.

Do you live in the world?

The light bringer who brings darkness deceives by making bad look good, by making evil enticing, and by making disobedience to God seem better than obedience. She still looks like a light bringer.

2Cor 11
14) And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

Now we come to today’s world and what do we see?

These are some of Heylel-Satan’s deceptions in the world today.

Whole World Deceptions

1. All life began by evolution. No one has ever seen life come from nothing alive, no one has ever made life from nothing alive, yet most of the world believes that life came from nothing alive.

2. The human family has more than two genders, male, female, and one hundred more, according to current thinking.

3. Butchering her baby is a woman’s right to choose.

4. The world faces an existential crisis that threatens to erase human life from the planet. Christ warned that the real threat is human violence that “no flesh be saved.” But the elites of the world say that the existential threat to extinguish all life is “global warming.”

Christian Deceptions

5. The personal name of God is in the first five of the Ten Commandments, yet almost everyone in the world thinks it’s wrong to call Yahweh by that name.

6. The day of the sun, an inanimate orb, has replaced the weekly Sabbath, the perpetual memorial day of the Creator Yahweh.

7. The drunken winter festival has replaced God’s Feast of Succoth, the spring observance of Ishtar has replaced Passover, and all Christian holy days are old Roman holidays.

8. Satan broke the Ten Commandments, Christ obeyed them, yet Christians believe that you have to break the Ten Commandments to be saved, and that if you obey what the Ten Commandments actually say, you’re trying to earn your salvation.

9. When the Bible says that women are to be silent in the assemblies and are not to teach men, those was just cultural mores.

10. The sin of Sodom was that the men of Sodom were just unfriendly to strangers.

American National Deceptions

11. People are murdered by violent guns, not violent people.

12. If white people don’t do anything racist, then they still have systemic racism because they’re white.

13. Government schools that teach that God does not exist do not teach religion.

14. Marriage is not from God, any two people can marry, and a family is any who happen to get together, including dogs.

That’s how Heylel-Satan has deceived today’s world –

So far.

Satan deceived Eve, the pre-Flood world, the post-Flood world, a third of the angels, today’s world, the Christian religion, and modern America.

In these end times, in the face of this incredibly deceptive power of Heylel-Satan, how will she try to deceive you?
