From the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation, we see that it was Adonai, Who was determined to restore humanity back to the way it was before Adam and Eve committed high treason.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The most important element of Adam and Eve’s failure to execute their priestly function in keeping the Garden might have been simply, a case of familiarity. When people become too relaxed in their walk with God, the level of respect which was at the beginning of the spiritual relationship depreciates into a “buddy” type friendship; instead of an attitude of reverent adoration, fear and awe.
For example, Christians tend to overuse the Name, “Jesus” or the expression, “Oh my God!” in their everyday language. As a result, the sovereign power and authority of His exalted holiness can become minimized by our personal earthly perceptions. The Name of God or in Hebrew, Adonai requires full respect of the believer in order for one to continue with the mindset of a servant. Furthermore, the fear of the Lord is essential for one to fully understand the Bible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”When Sacred respect is placed on the true and living God’s of Israel’s name” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:18|text_align:left|color:%23822a14″][vc_column_text](Dictionary of Jewish Words: A JPS Guide)
Adonai n. Hebrew (ah-doe-NYE) Literally, “my Lord.” Another name for God, and the one used most often in prayers. Because God’s name is so sacred, it is not spoken as it is written. The Hebrew letters (yud, hay, vav, and hay) that spell the name are read only as Adonai.
(Dictionary of Jewish Words: A JPS Guide)
Tetragrammaton n. Greek (teh-trah-GRAM-uh-tohn) Literally, “four letters.” The four Hebrew letters-yud, hay, vav, hay-that compose the inexpressible name of God. These letters, usually transliterated as YHVH, were originally pronounced “Yahweh.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As I mentioned above, Adam and Eve’s failure to administer their responsibility to שָׁמַר šāmar: “to Keep” the Garden may have resulted from their familiarity and taken-for-granted friendship, to the God who they felt was obligated to bless them. Thus, the question is:  Does familiarity breed contempt? Another English word for contempt is “dishonor.”
According to Revelation 2:3-5 in the Jewish Bible, to fall from our love for Christ is a sin because the definition of the Greek word ἐκπίπτω ekpíptō; means one has been driven from their course. In other words, some outside interference has gained your attention.

(Complete Jewish Bible)
3 You are persevering, and you have suffered for my sake without growing weary. 4 But I have this against you: you have lost the love you had at first. 5 Therefore, remember where you were before you ἐκπίπτω ekpíptō; fell, turn from this sin, and do what you used to do before. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your menorah from its place—if you don’t turn from your sin! (Revelation 2:3-5)

(Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary)
1601. ἐκπίπτω ekpíptō; fut. ekpesoúmai, aor. exépesa, 2d aor. exépeson, perf. ekpéptōka, from ek (G1537), from, and píptō (G4098), to fall. To fall off or from, to fall (Gal. 5:4).

H8104. שָׁמַר šāmar: A verb meaning to watch, to keep, to preserve, to guard, to be careful, to watch over, to watch carefully over, to be on one’s guard. The verb means to watch, to guard, to care for. Adam and Eve were to watch over and care for the Garden of Eden where the Lord had placed them (Gen. 2:15); cultic and holy things were to be taken care of dutifully by priests (2 Kgs. 22:14). The word can suggest the idea of protecting: David gave orders to keep Absalom safe (1 Sam. 26:15; 2 Sam. 18:12); the Lord keeps those who look to Him (Ps. 121:7).

There is a faithful community of God’s people who know that our weapons of defense are not in human strength or human ability. Our military assignments are to create an atmosphere for Christ our Lord. Our only offense is found in a Godly atmosphere conducive to the Lord’s Holy Warfare. In addition, our minds should be focused on the Captain of our Salvation because of our great admiration and reverence, which are synonyms of “respect.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10155″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]After Joshua asked Adonai’s angel, “What must I do to help?” The angel replied, “Take your shoes off, (in respect to the Host of Heaven armies, the LORD GOD Almighty) for the ground you are standing on is Holy.” Joshua started worshiping the Lord, which broke the backs of the demonic pagan gods.
Therefore, we have learned that the believer’s job is to demand respect for the true and living God and to keep His name, Holy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text](Complete Word Study Bible Dictionary)
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15 And the captain of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest — is holy. And Joshua did so (Joshua 5:13-15).[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”10153″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are we so innocent, that we have the right to blame Adam and Eve for falling under the powerful spells of the god of deception? Satan knew that if his lies were believed or excepted in Adonai’s sanctuary, the environment of the Lord’s the once holy place shifts to bizarre and grotesque revelations. The way Adam and Eve’s relationship changed, and the priestly couple’s relationship with the only genuine, loving God, felt like a place filled with strangers, the same will happen to any nation who reject the truth of God’s Word. Since then, the governments whose priest allowed the ancient doctrines of the occult to go uncontested lost wars, prominence, prosperity, and Divine protection.
The Book of revelation warned of Angels who are in charge of Weather, Climate, sea life, will pour out judgment on those nations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We must be aware that if the Body of Christ becomes distracted and when popular clichés replace the original Word of God, these signs are similar to what Adonai warned the children of God about the time “when truth was overthrown.” (Daniel 8:12).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

When the Body of Christ stops demanding respect for the Lord in a Christian nation, the prophecy of Daniel 8:10 will manifest in the earth.
The Kingdom of Darkness will change the spiritual atmosphere of the nation, then demon spirits will setup and claim a Satanic kingdom to defy the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

(Message Translation)
I watched as, mad with rage, it charged the ram and hit it so hard that it broke off its two horns. The ram didn’t stand a chance against it. The billy goat knocked the ram to the ground and stomped all over it. Nothing could have saved the ram from the goat.
8 “Then the billy goat swelled to an enormous size. At the height of its power its immense horn broke off and four other big horns sprouted in its place, pointing to the four points of the compass. 9 And then from one of these big horns another horn sprouted. It started small, but then grew to an enormous size, facing south and east—toward lovely Palestine.

10 The horn grew tall, reaching to the stars, the heavenly army, and threw some of the stars to the earth and stomped on them. 11 It even dared to challenge the power of God, Prince of the Celestial Army! And then it threw out daily worship and desecrated the Sanctuary. 12 As judgment against their sin, the holy people of God got the same treatment as the daily worship. The horn cast God’s Truth aside. High-handed, it took over everything and everyone.
13 “Then I overheard two holy angels talking. One asked, ‘How long is what we see here going to last—the abolishing of daily worship, this devastating judgment against sin, the kicking around of God’s holy people and the Sanctuary?’
Daniel 8:7-13

The Pagan priest sacrificed children to the god of Ba’al to pledge to their loyalty at the feast of the Gaelic festival of Samhain. This feast was celebrated from October 31- November 1st, thanking the god of the harvest for a good yield.

Jesus esteemed His Father’s request above His own desires and faithfully carried it out unto death. Therefore, He was promoted to the highest rank and the extraordinary seat of judgment!

(NLT Study Bible Text,)
6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Ezra Intercedes for the Holy Race (9:1–10:44)
Ezra’s Prayer concerning Pagan worshipers Intermarriage within TheLord people.

1 When these things had been done, the Jewish leaders came to me and said, “Many of the people of Israel, and even some of the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the other peoples living in the land. They have taken up the detestable practices of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. 2 For the men of Israel have married women from these people and have taken them as wives for their sons. So the holy race has become polluted by these mixed marriages. Worse yet, the leaders and officials have led the way in this outrage.”
Ezra 9:1-2

The devil knows that any form of devotion to the occult opens an entrance for spirits of the underworld. This includes anyone seeking knowledge of the occult, reading occult literature, wearing occult jewelry, or certain tattoos related to occult or esoteric designs.
Ezra knew that the custom of marrying wives who practiced mystical arts would open spiritual gateways throughout the nation. Demons of every kind would manifest, while the people of God would be totally unaware.
There are countless stories in the Bible about the promise of a Jewish Messiah Who was coming to rescue the captive from spiritual strongholds.
Therefore, the reason Christ was given a Name above all names is that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but we wrestle against principalities, spirits of wickedness, and rulers of darkness. At Yeshua’s elevation, all fallen angels must obey their King, the Anointed Jewish Messiah, the Adonai’s Christ.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The United States Pentagon has some of the most powerful military minds in the world, however, when a Subject Matter Expert (SME) speaks, even the four-star Generals listen. Everyone listens to the SME because he or she is the only person experienced in the subject.
Jesus Christ is the only SME for Heavenly intelligence to rely on because Yeshua has been inside a human body; Jesus knows and understands the wretched mess we are. This additional insight allows Christ to have compassion on us, yet empower us with His Holy Spirit so that we will not fall for the enemy’s devices. He came in a human body and defeated Satan. Likewise, through our obedience to Him, we also can be overcomers. As we imitate Him, we do the same things He did – the answer to Christ’s success was humility, regular prayer life, and perpetual consecration.

Other Canaanite gods, very similar to Baal and probably local versions of Baal, included Melkart, the god of Tyre; Chemosh, the god of Moab; Milcom, Molek, or Moloch, the Ammonite god; Tammuz, a type of dying and rising nature god worshiped in Syria; and Dagon, a vegetation god similar to Tammuz but worshiped by the Philistines.

Warning: Although Yeshua’s Name carries authority over every name; when we open doors to the occult, Christ cannot and will not override our wills. Thank God for the powerful intercession going on in the believers’ households who are keeping back these spiritual forces with prayer and worship of the Messiah “Yeshua,” Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
