Was Satan/Helel/Venus "Married" to Yahweh?By Rabbi Edward "Levi" Nydle I realize that this particular teaching may be somewhat controversial in its implications and applications, but I have had this in my inner-man for many months and have decided it is time to write concerning this topic. I approach it with extreme caution and much prayer. I pray that Yahweh will open our eyes to a truth in Scripture that helps to explain the existence of Yisrael as the true Bride of Messiah. This will also explain why Satan/Helel hates Yisrael and has attempted to destroy and replace it with a false Bride called "the church." This is just a small part of the biggest deception Satan/Helel has conceived and managed to get the majority of "Christianity" to accept. The word – Halal in Hebrew First, we must understand that Yahweh created millions of malakim, and placed them throughout the universe as helpers and servants. Among these that were created was Satan/Helel/Lucifer/Venus who was not the "chief ruler" of the malakim, but exalted herself/himself to a "ruling position" to be worshipped as "the unknown god (el)" (Acts 17:23) after her/his rebellion. Yeshayahu (Isaiah) the prophet in Yeshayahu 14:12 called Satan –Lucifer or in the Hebrew Hillyl which comes from the Hebrew root of Halal. Halal is #1984 in the Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary and means: to be clear, to shine, to boast, to celebrate, glory, give light, to give in marriage, praise, rage, renowned, shine. Did you notice the bold words on marriage? In the Lexicon in Veteris Testament Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner, page 235: Halal means: a beautiful woman, a wife who is praised by her husband, a woman whose works praise her. The New Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies, page 506, shows it to mean to be given in marriage, worthy to be praised. We can then see that Satan/Helel was created a malak that was to be given in "marriage" to Yahweh, and was worthy to be praised for her/his conduct. She/He would have been the Queen of Heaven! But, Lucifer/Helel was not content to be chosen as Yahweh’s wife. She/he wanted even more. So, he/she rebelled against Yahweh and sought to rise above Him and His throne and receive the Worship due only Him (Yahweh). Remember Halal means to boast, to be clamorously foolish, to rave, mad, to make mad against, to indulge in fancies, to storm, to being foolish, to mislead, an enemy (A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon by Julius Furst pages 363-364). Yechezqel (Ezek.) said in Yechezqel 28:2 that Helel said,"..Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said; I am a God (el). I sit in the seat of a God (el), in the midst of the seas. Yet, you are a created being, and not the Almighty…". In this ONE word-Halal-we can see the history of Yahweh’s fallen chosen bride. She/he turned from being a righteous being-upholding Yahweh’s Torah (see last month’s issue)-to becoming the adversary of Yahweh and all who reverence His laws. She/he became known as Helel/Satan/Venus. Helel/Satan invented God worship The TITLE God is nothing more than a position of rank of someone worshipped, and those who do the worshipping. The word is EL #410 Strong’s and means – strength, as the adjective of the mighty, great, IDOL, mighty one, power, strong. When a worshipper calls upon a deity as god (a title), ANYBODY could answer! Rav Shaul says " For even though there are many called Gods (elohim), whether in heaven or on the earth (as there are many Gods (elohim) and many LORDS (Baalim)." in 1 Cor.8: 5. Yahweh is the ALMIGHTY and never called Himself a God, which infers that He is just the supreme among many. God or Gad is a pagan name of the idol of fortune or luck (read Yahoshua 11:17 and Yeshayahu 65:11). Why would Yahweh then use this title for Himself? No, in becoming one of the elohim-god or goddess-Satan/Helel also became known as Venus or Ashtoreth. In The Hebrew-English Lexicon by Brown, Driver, and Briggs page 237 we find-"heylel shining one, star of the morning; epith. of VENUS as the morning star. She/he is the GREAT whore that sits upon many waters and sits to ride the beastly system of religion she/he created to gain the worship that rightfully belongs to Yahweh and to Him alone! Satan has managed by deception (see Rev.12: 9) to get the whole world to worship her/him through false titles, false feast days, a false priesthood, and by doing away with Yahweh’s Torah (which she/he hates). Just as Satan inspired the ancient Babylonian system of worship in Bereshit 11, so she/he has inspired the latter-day Babylonian system of worship. The worship of the Queen of heaven (Venus/Ashtoreth/Astarte/Diana/SATAN/HELEL=MARY) started in ancient Babylon as men (like Satan) tried to ascend to the throne of Yahweh by false worship and lusted to be as "GOD"! I exhort you to obtain and read the following books to get a good grasp on this false system from Babylon: "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop, "Come Out of Her My People" by Dr.C.J.Koster, and "Fossilized Customs" by Lew White. Bill Burton has also written an excellent new study called,"Is Christianity Pagan?" Do not let Satan deceive you into god worship. We worship Yahweh! Revelation 22:9. If you are worshipping ANYONE besides Yahweh –it is IDOLATRY! This was Yisrael’s major sin throughout their history. You cannot MIX (syncretism) god worship with Yahweh worship. A little leaven leavens the whole loaf. You have to remember that ALL the nations worshipped "GODS" (elohim) and "LORDS" (Ba’alim) (Yermiyahu 7:17-18,10:3-15,19:3-5) and Yisrael followed after their pagan ways. Helel wanted Yisrael’s worship! She/he wanted to be "GOD" (Yeshayahu 14:12-14;Yechetzqel 28:2; 2 Thess.2: 4-10)! Is Ishtar/Astarte/Ashtoreth/Venus/Satan male or female? For most people the word "god" has masculine connotations -- whereas "goddess" is attributed to the female idols. However, they are one and the same! The "GOD" that is worshipped throughout the whole world is really the Queen of heaven-Satan/Helel .The Queen of heaven often tales on BOTH male and female characteristics (just as Yahweh does).
What few people understand is that the title elohim in Hebrew, which was originally used by the Canaanites, can refer to either a god or a goddess. In either case it can refer to Satan/Helel/Venus (see 1 Kings 11:33). Both the words in this Scripture (1Kings 11:33) are translated from the word elohim. The Hebrew-English Lexicon by Brown, Driver, and Briggs 0n page 43 tells us that elohim can mean –"Pl.intensive, a.a god OR goddess." Satan/Helel then possesses BOTH characteristics-Male and Female as a malak, and may be worshipped as BOTH a "God" and "Goddess". Now we can understand from Scripture that Satan/Helel (Hillel)/Venus/Ishtar (Easter) was created a beautiful malak (angel or messenger) and was ordained to become Yahweh’s bride or queen (since He is King of the universe). Nothing was kept from her/him, yet she/he was not satisfied and wanted more through PRIDE. Satan wanted something that was not lawful for her/him to have-to rise above or be equal to her HEAD-Yahweh! May this be a clear warning to women who do not understand headship and coverings. Satan/Helel desired to rule over all-a position that she/he was not meant for her. Through counterfeit RELIGION she/he can receive the worship he/she lusted after in her/his rebellion! Yahweh constantly warned Yisrael of the worship of Ashtoreth (Deut.16: 21-Ashtoreth is mistranslated as a grove of trees.) Ashtoreth is the same being as Venus/Satan/Helel! Yahweh picks a new Bride-Yisrael! After Satan’s rebellion against Yahweh, Yahweh then sets His plan in motion to marry another. He creates man (Adam and Chawah) in His image and likeness and places them in the Gan Eden. Satan once ruled the earth before Bereshit chapter one verses one and two. After her/his fall or rebellion, Yahweh gave her/his dominion of the earth to Adam. Helel believes that if he/she can get this new "bride" to rebel against Yahweh, then He will cast off this one also, as He did her/him. Possibly also she/he can regain the dominion she/he lost in her/his rebellion. We then know that Satan/Helel used the same temptation against Chawah – "You shall be as gods (elohim)." Chawah fell for the lustful temptation of the eyes, flesh, and PRIDE and rebelled against Yahweh’s Torah (instruction). However, THIS time Yahweh provides a "covering" for man (remember Satan was the cherub that covers), and promises to redeem man from his sin by a coming Messiah! Yahweh fooled Satan/Helel. As we trace the history of our deliverance we see that Yahweh then saves a righteous bloodline through Noach, Shem, to our father Avraham. Through Avraham, Yahweh makes the PROMISE of SEED that will fill all the nations. He promised to make him a great nation, and kings would come out of him. We can follow that VERY SAME PROMISE to Yitzkak and Ya’akov –who would later be called Yisrael! From Yisrael would come the 12 tribes of Yisrael, or the nation of Yisrael. Then from Yisrael would come Messiah! Yahweh then "married" Yisrael at Mt. Sinai (we have the bride price paid-Passover, the cloud on the mountain, the Torah, and the ring –Shabbat). Yahweh was taking a new Bride for Himself! This was the congregation or assembly of Yisrael at Mt. Sinai (Acts 7). The rabbis and sages ALL agree that this was a wedding ceremony between Yahweh and Yisrael! This is why Satan/Helel hates Yisrael and has tried to destroy her for centuries and does not want her (Yisrael) to be reunited as one nation! Helel wants her scattered! Since Satan/Helel cannot destroy her (Yisrael) because of the prophetic promises by Yahweh, she/he has gotten Yisrael to worship her/him through IDOLATRY, and by having Yisrael (Ephraim) to forget who they are and where they came from. Satan/Helel then had Yahudah MIX men’s traditions with true Torah, and place them above the Torah of Yahweh. Satan/Helel has blinded ALL Yisrael as Rav Shaul wrote! Read 2 Corinthians 11:13-15. Yahweh only has ONE BRIDE, and it is Yisrael! The so-called "kirch" IS NOT the Bride of Messiah. Yahweh is not a polygamist! To be a part of the true Bride then one must be of Yisrael. If you are a believer in Yahshua-then you are Yisrael (read Rom.9-11; Eph.2-3). What better deception than to create a separate entity called "the Church" and have people to buy into "the lie" of replacement theology. Satan/Helel knows a kingdom divided (Yisrael) cannot stand! This is why she/he is fighting the "Two House" message so bad. Satan/Helel does NOT want you to know whom you are-The Bride of Yahweh! Similarities between Satan/Helel and Yisrael (the congregation) In Yechezqel 28:13-15, we have listed four different characteristics of Helel/Venus.
Now, let us look at four characteristics of the congregation (ekklesia) of Yisrael
Let’s focus on the word PERFECT as it is used in these verses. The Hebrew in Ez.28: 15 is #8549 in Strong’s –TAMIYM meaning entire, whole, clean, integrity, truth, WITHOUT BLEMISH, WITHOUT SPOT, complete, full, UNDEFILED, upright. It can also mean "spiritually mature"! It does not always mean-sinless, but has the idea of maturity in spiritual matters or Torah! In Eph.5: 27 it is #5046 –TELIOS meaning complete, whole, -(as in application of labor or works, growth, mental and moral character)-of full age, man, perfect. Again, in this context of Ephesians it can mean a spiritually mature Bride or a Torah observant assembly! It becomes this way by the washing of the water of Torah! So, the assembly will possess the same perfection Satan once had in Torah. The Scriptures also teach that the TRUE BRIDE will walk serve Yahweh in truth (emet) and we know that the Scriptures teach that the TORAH is truth (Tehillim 119:142;Yochanan 17:17). Remember that Satan/Helel knew Torah and walked in it. Now the NEW BRIDE –Yisrael- must walk in Torah. Yahshua taught in Yochanan 15:3 that it was the Word or TORAH that sets-apart or makes KADASH and makes His talmidim clean, or spotless! Also, the TRUE BRIDE will walk in the LIGHT as He is in the light. We know from Scripture that light is a symbol of Torah (Tehillim 119:105). Helel was called Lucifer or LIGHT BEARER .She/he once walked in the light (Torah) of Yahweh until she/he rebelled. The Congregation of Yisrael is to walk in the light of Yahweh’s Word-Torah. Yisrael is to be a nation of priests (servants or ministers) unto Yahweh and His people (Shemot 19:5-6; 1 Kepha 2:5-9). Remember that a malak was a servant or messenger of Yahweh and a cherub had direct access to the very throne of Yahweh. Helel/Satan/Venus was a sort of a priest to Yahweh. Yisrael now replaces her/him in that calling and office! Also, the priests clothing are similar to the clothing of a Bride (compare Shemot 28 with Tehillim 45). The duty of the Lewites was to teach Yisrael Yahweh’s Torah (Vayyiqra [Lev.] 10:8;Deverim 17:8-11). I bring to your remembrance how Satan/Helel was to teach the other malakim Torah. These are just a few of the similarities throughout Scripture between Satan/Helel and the NEW Bride Yisrael! Conclusion and meaning to Messianic Yisrael We can see that Yahweh’s plan is to have His NEW Bride, Yisrael, become PERFECT through Torah, just as Satan/Helel once was through upholding Yahweh’s law UNTIL she/he rebelled! The difference being that Yahweh made a plan to redeem this NEW BRIDE through Messiah Yahshua, as He promised Adam and Chawah in the garden! And He brought this plan about through Yisrael-His Bride, His Beloved! We also see in Revelation 21:12 that in order to enter into the Lamb’s Bride –The Renewed Yahrushalayim- one HAS to enter in through one of the twelve gates of the city. Upon these gates of the city are the names of the TWELVE TRIBES OF YISRAEL! Rav Shaul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:2-3 that he (Shaul) had betrothed them to ONE husband (Messiah-Yahweh) but he was concerned that Satan/Helel had deceived them as he/she did Chawah in the Gan Eden. He (Shaul) was concerned that they (Yisrael) were following another Yahshua that he had not preached or taught. O how the "kirch" needs to hear that message today! He was a Torah observant JEW! Rav Shaul understood that Yisrael or the assembly, congregation, kahal, edah was the true bride of Messiah-Yahshua (Yahweh) and he did not want them to fall through rebellion as Chawah did (following the example of Satan/Helel). He also knew that it (the assembly) was the same entity as Yisrael (Gal.6: 16). He NEVER spoke of a "church" separate from the same Yisrael that was in the Torah! They are one and the same! You can now understand why Satan/Helel hates Yisrael and Yahweh’s Torah. Only by deceiving Yahweh’s elect or remnant (Yisrael) can she/he get what she/he wanted in the worship belonging to Yahweh, and to keep Yisrael (the true Believer in Yahshua) from learning who they really are! Can you see now why it is so important to get this Messianic Yisrael message out, and share it with our Ephraimite and Judean brothers and sisters? I pray that you as Yisrael will have the eyes of your understanding opened to the truth of Yisrael being the only TRUE BRIDE of Messiah (Yahweh) and recommit yourselves to proclaiming the message of Messianic Yisrael. May Yahweh bless you, the Yisrael of Yahweh (Gal.6: 16) -Rabbi Edward "Levi" Nydle |
